  • Grid search based production switching heuristic for aggregate production planning

    Creator:
    Nam, Sang-jin
    Abstract:
    The Production Switching Heuristic (PSH) developed by Mellichamp and Love (1978) has been suggested as a more realistic, practical and intuitively appealing approach to aggregate production planning (APP). In this research, PSH has been modified to present a more sophisticated open grid search procedure for solving the APP problem. The...

  • A mathematical modeling framework for scheduling and managing multiple concurrent tasks

    Creator:
    Shakeri, Shakib
    Abstract:
    Occurrence of human error in highly complex systems, such as a cockpit, can be disastrous and/or overwhelmingly costly. Mismanagement of multiple concurrent tasks has been observed by researchers to be a type of repetitive human error in previous studies of accidents and incidents. This error may occur in the form...

  • A power comparison of mutual fund timing and selectivity models under varying portfolio and market conditions

    Creator:
    Azimi-Zonooz, Aydeen
    Abstract:
    The goal of this study is to test the accuracy of various mutual fund timing and selectivity models under a range of portfolio managerial skills and varying market conditions. Portfolio returns in a variety of skill environments are generated using a simulation procedure. The generated portfolio returns are based on...

  • Efficient heuristics for buffer allocation in closed serial production lines

    Creator:
    Vergara Arteaga, Hector A.
    Abstract:
    The optimal allocation of buffers in serial production systems is one of the oldest and most researched problems in Industrial Engineering. In general, there are three main approaches to the buffer allocation problem when the objective is to maximize throughput. The first is basically a systematic trial and error procedure...
