  • Heuristic algorithm for multistage scheduling in food processing industry

    Creator:
    Juwono, Cynthia P.
    Abstract:
    A multistage production system consists of a number of production stages that are interrelated, that is the output from one stage forms input to the next stage. There are constraints associated with each stage as well as constraints imposed by the overall system. Besides, there are multiple objectives that need...

  • A sensitivity evaluation of EPA's CAL3QHC dispersion model for carbon monoxide analysis at urban intersections

    Creator:
    Lindemann, Julie B.
    Abstract:
    In February 1994, EPA proposed to "refine" its carbon monoxide (CO) hot spot model, CAL3QHC, to increase its accuracy and reliability. Currently, this proposal includes using hourly meteorological data recorded at airports near the modeling sites instead of the worst case conditions now recommended as a modeling default. The analysis...

  • Steady-state analysis in simulation : an application of Schriber's truncation rule to complex queueing systems

    Creator:
    Saleh, Budiman
    Abstract:
    The objective of many steady-state simulations is to study the behavior of a nonterminating system with a peak load of infinite duration. Due to the complexity of the system, the initial conditions of the system are often atypical that often requires the simulators to start the system with the empty...

  • Managing urban development : a simulation approach for coping with change at a municipal parking structure

    Creator:
    White, Stephen James
    Abstract:
    Public construction projects are frequently presented as occurring in complex social, political and economic settings described as being uncertain. In public administration, this uncertainty is cited as a cause for shifting from the so called "rational-comprehensive" model of policy and decision making toward an "incremental" or "mixed-scanning" approach. None of...

  • An experimental investigation of scheduling non-identical parallel processors with sequence-dependent set-up times and due dates

    Creator:
    Smith, Terrence A.
    Abstract:
    An experimental investigation of factors effecting scheduling a system of parallel, non-identical processors using a series of experimental designs was carried out. System variables included were processor capacities relationships, sequencing and assignment rules, job size, and product demand distributions. The effect of the variables was measured by comparing mean flow...

  • Design and implementation of a heuristic-based decision support system for nurse scheduling

    Creator:
    Sitompul, Darwin
    Abstract:
    A decision support system (DSS) for nurse scheduling in hospitals is developed and implemented on microcomputer. The system includes algorithms and databases for developing weekly work and shift patterns and combining these into working schedules for nurses for a specified time horizon, and interface modules for the user to interact...

  • Simulation-based design evaluation of automated storage/retrieval systems

    Creator:
    Shroff, Raj N.
    Abstract:
    Automated storage and Retrieval (AS/R) systems have had a significant impact on storage and retrieval of finished goods, work-in-process, and raw materials and supplies. A microcomputer-based simulation model was developed to evaluate different unit load AS/R systems serving multiple input sources and output destinations. The simulation results were statistically analyzed...

  • A simulation based decision support system for resouce planning

    Creator:
    Mechling, Ann M.
    Abstract:
    The problem of resource planning has long been a topic of interest for operations managers in both production and service industries. Inputs such as raw materials, energy, and capital are limited resources; therefore, managers must make informed decisions regarding the use of these inputs. This thesis addresses the area of...

  • An expert system for softwood lumber grading

    Creator:
    Zeng, Yimin
    Abstract:
    The focus of this research is to develop a prototype expert system for softwood lumber grading. The grading rules used in the knowledge base of the system are based on Western Lumber Grading Rules 88 published by the Western Wood Products Association. The system includes 27 grades in Dimension, Select/Finish,...

    Creator:
    Chen, Hsueh-Jen
    Abstract:
    Today's manufacturing environment is characterized by competition and continuous change in product and process requirements. The concept of "design for manufacturability" integrates product specifications with manufacturing capabilities by considering the design and manufacturing phases as an integrated system, evaluating the combined system during the design phase of a product ,...
