  • 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...

  • Development of an information processing capacity estimation method for managing a project subjected to disruptions

    Creator:
    Ro, In Kyu
    Abstract:
    This dissertation is an attempt at developing a method for the analysis and estimation of the effects of disruptions due to uncertainties. Such uncertainties may result from design changes and engineering drawing delays in large-scale, complex, research and development, or construction projects. In order to provide management with a simple...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • The maximum principle and its application to industrial engineering problems

    Creator:
    Kanbe, Kenji
    Abstract:
    The maximum principle developed by the Russian mathematician, L.S. Pontryagin is considered to be one of the most significant contributions to the recent advances in mathematical optimization techniques. Unfortunately, most of the published literature on the application of the maximum principle is in the field of control system design, and...

  • Implementation of revised simplex Thompson algorithm on a limited core stand alone processor

    Creator:
    Chakravarty, Jyotirmoy
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a linear programming package that uses an algorithm and data storage method efficient enough to solve a medium sized linear programming problem (250 variables and 100 constraints) on a minicomputer with small core memory space (4000 bytes). In this routine the problem is formulated by the use...

  • Applications of microprocessors in work measurement

    Creator:
    Blanco-Duran, Rodolfo
    Abstract:
    The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the microprocessor's potentials to improve the productivity of Industrial Engineers engaged in work design and measurement. More exactly, the following four hypotheses were proposed and investigated: (1) A Universal Time Data (UTD) structure could be used to accommodate a variety of...

  • 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...
