A general linear optimization algorithm based upon labeling and factorizing of basic paths on RPM network

Creator:: Stavrakis, George D.
Abstract:: A new method is developed for solving linear optimization problems based on the RPM network modeling technique which represents the primal and the corresponding dual models simultaneously upon a single graph. The network structure is used to eliminate the need for explicit logical variables and to provide a graphic tool...

Some analytical techniques for improving resource allocation in a university system

Creator:: Ghaffari, Ebrahim
Abstract:: Some of the problems concerning the present educational programs which confront the institutions of higher education are, reviewed. Resources allocation is at the root of the issue. Budgeting orientations are presented with special emphasis on Planning Programming Budgeting Systems. PPBS is still in its developmental stage in the field of...

Multiperiod multiple-item dynamic lot sizing problem when discounts are available

Creator:: Chang, Chia-hao
Abstract:: This thesis extends Wagner-Whitin's Planning Horizon Theorem to discount situations in multiperiod multiple-item dynamic lot sizing problems. Three heuristic techniques are developed using the Least Unit Cost Method, Silver-Meal Method, and Inoue-Chang Method. The three techniques are described and compared in terms of their effectiveness in dealing with the dynamic...

Single and mixed-model assembly line balancing methods for both deterministic and normally distributed work element times

Creator:: Rao, Dodla Nageswara
Abstract:: Line balancing is concerned with the optimal assignment of work elements to individual operators in an assembly tine of a mass producing system. This paper summarizes the assembly line balancing terminology, the computational methods, and objective functions applicable to a wide variety of assembly lines. Single and mixed-model situations for...

The application of decomposition and condensation algorithms to the logical design of resource planning and management (RPM) networks

Creator:: Chen, Kuei-Lin
Abstract:: Resource Planning and Management (RPM) network is a graphical representation of input-output relationships among activities and resources within a system. Both resources (events) and activities (decisions) are explicitly represented as nodes in all RPM networks. Depending upon the relationships being depicted, RPM networks can be classified into Relational (R), Precedence...

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...

A discrete multi-facility location analysis of a public sector office siting problem

Creator:: Ryan, John Vincent
Abstract:: A discrete multi-facility plant location algorithm developed by Basheer Khumawala is modified and applied to the location analysis of offices of the State of Oregon Health Facilities Licensing and Certification Section (HFLC). Choice of the algorithm is based upon a literature survey of available computational procedures which compares their relative...

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...
