In this paper, using Evolutionary Game Theory, we study the evolution of currency as an important and influential problem in the world economy by presenting three new models. In examining the evolution of two different currencies, we prove that if the parties chose either of the two currencies with a fixed probability, it will not have an impact on the evolutionary process of these currencies. Considering a new action based on either the possibility of using any two currencies or a preference between the two currencies, we illustrate their impact on the evolution-ary process of currencies. In fact, we examine the impact of different actions and strategies on the evolutionary process between the two types of currencies.

The objective of this study is to explore the influence of predictive maintenance technologies on operational efficiency in manufacturing startups, focusing on implementation processes, operational impacts, and the challenges encountered. This qualitative study employed semi-structured interviews to gather data from key stakeholders in manufacturing startups, including founders, operations managers, and maintenance engineers. A total of 22 participants were interviewed, with the sample size determined by theoretical saturation. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using NVivo software. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify and categorize key themes and subthemes related to the implementation and impact of predictive maintenance technologies. The analysis revealed three main themes: Implementation Process, Operational Impact, and Challenges and Barriers. Within these themes, several categories and concepts emerged. The Implementation Process theme highlighted the importance of planning, technology selection, system integration, employee involvement, pilot testing, change management, and post-implementation review. The Operational Impact theme identified efficiency gains, predictive analytics, maintenance scheduling, resource optimization, and quality improvement as significant outcomes. The Challenges and Barriers theme underscored technological challenges, financial constraints, organizational resistance, skill gaps, data management issues, and the necessity of vendor support. The findings indicate that predictive maintenance technologies significantly enhance operational efficiency in manufacturing startups by reducing downtime, increasing productivity, and optimizing resource utilization.
