Abstract: The COVID-19 outbreak has shown that pandemics, like other rarely occurring natural catastrophes, have happened in the past and will happen in the future. Although humans cannot prevent dangerous viruses from emerging, they should be prepared to dampen their consequences for the economy and all of society. The main objective of this paper is to address the COVID-19 pandemic as a novel mechanism of the motion of an aircraft in MIRCE Mechanics, as only then the most effective technological, social and economic actions can be taken by humans to deal with it. Examples of devastating impacts on aviation world-wide are given in the paper, based on available statistics provided by governmental and global commercial aviation associations. Also, examples of professional and technological solutions taken to cushion the impact of COVID-19 on safety in aviation are presented. To assist airlines in the selection process of aircraft types that should be returned to the post pandemic service MIRCE Function ability and Profitability Equations are presented in the paper. However, they are applicable only when the mechanisms of the motion of an industrial system through MIRCE Space are known. As COVID-19 pandemic was not known until the beginning of 2020 business plans of airlines world-wide are for several orders of magnitude off the target, measured in flying hours delivered, revenue generated, an unprecedented number of aircraft grounded and prematurely retirement of B747 and A380 aircraft type from active service. Thus, this paper is bringing together the physiological side of COVID-19 and its physical impact on the operational side of airlines in order to assist them to predict the expected positive and negative work by each aircraft type grounded. This analysis will guide them to decide what type of fleet they should have in the post pandemic times and thus secure the business existence.

Abstract: RHD, a public organization under the Road Transport and Highways Division of the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges is responsible to enhance the traffic capacity and safety for efficient transshipment of goods and passengers on transnational boundary, national, regional, and Zilla highways. But in recent years the quality of works and services of RHD has failed to meet the standard required by the specifications. With this background the objective of this report is to evaluate the use of TQM tools to improve the performance of the supply chain in RHD. Primary data were collected through questionnaires survey from 34 engineers of different grades and secondary information were collected from the RHD website, journals, magazines, and different publications. Analysis shows to ensure quality in RHD it is necessary to conduct Quality Assurance Audit (QAA) through a third party. Also, an intensive and robust training program regarding TQM must be introduced for all levels of employees. Moreover, it is important to conduct studies with the uses of new technologies like IoT, AI, Block chain, etc. to improve quality-related difficulties and other supply chain processes in RHD to face upcoming challenge with the help of TQM approach in order to ensure value for money for the public fund.
