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...

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...

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...

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...

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,...

Multi-objective planning design for land use and urban performance

Creator:: Robinson, Irl Dale, Jr.
Abstract:: An analytical tool to assist municipal planners in evaluating alternative planning strategies is proposed. Schlager's Land Use Plan Design Model provides the linear formulation of the problem, Goal Programming is used to create alternatives, and Brown and Kirby's Measures of Urban Performance serve to evaluate the alternatives. Resource Planning and...

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...

Risk management in particleboard production system design : a simulation study of the stochastic optimization problem

Creator:: Velazquez, Sergio Serrano
Abstract:: Effects of stochastic variations of parameters in the planning and design of a particleboard production system are studied. The solution obtained from a linear deterministic optimization model is compared against both the solution derived from the traditional stochastic programming techniques and the distribution of optimal objective function values obtained from...

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...
