Compliance management in business operations is often addressed through fragmented procedures that are difficult to coordinate and evaluate in a consistent manner. This study develops a structured compliance management framework grounded in a system engineering perspective, with the aim of linking regulatory requirements to operational processes in a coherent way. The framework is constructed by organizing compliance activities into a set of interrelated components, including regulatory interpretation, process integration, monitoring mechanisms, and feedback loops. On this basis, an evaluation scheme is established to examine the consistency and effectiveness of compliance implementation across operational stages. Particular attention is given to the identification of critical control points and the interaction between compliance measures and routine business processes. The proposed framework is examined through its application to typical organizational settings, where it allows a more transparent mapping between compliance requirements and operational execution. The analysis shows that a system-based structure supports clearer identification of process dependencies and facilitates more consistent evaluation outcomes. The study provides a structured basis for understanding compliance as an integrated operational system rather than a set of isolated practices, and offers a foundation for more informed decision-making in compliance management.
Effective maintenance planning in high-performance mechanical systems requires a structured approach to identifying and prioritizing potential failure modes under multiple, often conflicting criteria. Conventional Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) relies heavily on subjective judgment, which can limit consistency and transparency in decision-making. To address this limitation, this study develops a decision-oriented framework that integrates Shannon entropy-based weighting with three Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods, namely SAW, TOPSIS, and VIKOR. The framework is applied to a representative high-performance mechanical system, in which maintenance-related factors, including failure probability, detection capability, economic impact, repair time, and resource availability, are evaluated in a unified structure. Entropy weighting is employed to derive criterion importance directly from data, reducing reliance on expert bias. The combined use of multiple MCDM techniques enables cross-validation of ranking outcomes and improves the robustness of the prioritization process. The results show a high degree of consistency among the three methods (Spearman’s $\rho>0.80$), indicating stable identification of critical failure modes. The proposed framework provides a transparent basis for risk-informed maintenance planning and supports more effective allocation of inspection and repair resources. From an engineering management perspective, the approach facilitates the transition from experience-driven decisions to data-supported strategies, contributing to improved system reliability and operational efficiency. Although demonstrated in a specific application context, the framework can be extended to other engineering systems where structured failure prioritization is required.
