Creator:: Ng, George Kwok Wing
Abstract:: A special case of a parallel multiprocessor scheduling (MP) problem is investigated. A set of jobs with a known process time and a.resource requirement is scheduled on machines controlled by processors,and the total changeover cost between jobs is to be minimized. Each processor may control up to two machines and...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

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...

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...

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...

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...

Creator:: Ramalingam, P. Rama, 1941-
Abstract:: Branch-and-Bound algorithms are developed to optimally schedule static single- and multi-stage job-shop productions. The 'corollary' of the study is to experimentally verify the effectiveness of branch-and-bound algorithms to overcome the "curse of dimensionality" due to the combinatorial nature of job-shop scheduling problems. The static scheduling problem contemplated in this dissertation...
