Extending the planning capability of zerobase and flexible budgeting through the use of RPM networks and optimization techniques

Creator:: Lomelin-Zarate, Jose David
Abstract:: The viability of incorporating optimization within budgeting methodologies is examined. Resource Planning and Management System and optimization are proposed as tools to enhance the planning and control functions of the budgeting process. Three hypotheses are proposed: (1) Integer Programming, Integer Goal Programming and Dynamic Programming can be substituted in place...

An application of one-factor and two-factor information channel models to marketing research problems

Creator:: Shirland, Larry Elwyn
Abstract:: This thesis presents an introduction to Marketing Research concepts, relates Operations Research to Marketing Research and discusses the limitations of each. An Information Theory approach based on Shannon's fundamental theorems and extended by Kunisawa is applied to one-factor and two-factor marketing problems. The objective of one-factor information channel models is...

Multi-factor information theory models and their industrial applications

Creator:: Shirland, Larry Elwyn
Abstract:: This dissertation treats information theory and its applications to the general area of decision making. Specifically, three areas are covered; (1) information theory applied to Bayesian analysis, (2) estimation using multi-factor information channel models, and (3) information theory applied to Markov chain analysis. A major portion of this dissertation concerns...

Resource planning for a rare metals corporation using mixed integer goal programming and resource planning and management system

Creator:: Barneson, John
Abstract:: A system's analysis study utilizing Resource Planning and Management System network methodology, integer programming, and goal programming is presented. The integrated approach is developed and applied to the rare metals production process of the Oregon Metallurgical Corporation (OREMET). As defined by OREMET management, optimization of the production process required the...

Application of pattern recognition to a human behavior problem

Creator:: Chang, Chia-hao
Abstract:: Pattern recognition techniques and their application to a consumer behavior study are presented. The Local Majority Method (LOMAME) utilizes a set of prototypes and corrective factors which undergo a training cycle before being utilized as pattern classifiers. Its advantages over the Minimum-Distance Method and the Fix and Hodges Method are...

Determination of optimal supply points in centralized distribution systems

Creator:: Matsuda, Yoichi
Abstract:: The determination of the number and locations of optimal supply points in centralized distribution systems is considered from both theoretical and institutional aspects. The Euclidean distance problems that typify the theoretical school of location search are discussed and seven different solution techniques are investigated: the Torricelli, linear programming, exhaustive search,...

Application of resource planning and management system (RPMS) and goal programming (GP) to multi-period resource allocation in universities

Creator:: Higuera-Guio, José Gabriel
Abstract:: A Resource Planning and Management System (RPMS) and Goal Programming algorithm are integrated into a tool for optimization of resource allocation in university academic departments. The integrated approach is then applied to the management models of the Industrial and General Engineering Department at Oregon State University and of the Industrial...
