  • Resource planning of a high technology company under risk and uncertainty

    Creator:
    Jain, Pravin J.
    Abstract:
    A multi-phase methodology is proposed as an aid to resource planning and management activities in a high technology company faced with an uncertain marketing future. An attempt is made to incorporate both quantifiable and non-quantifiable factors. The problem analysis phase of the proposed methodology employs Resource Planning and Management (RPM)...

  • Resource planning and management (RPM) of a multi-period, multi-product

    Creator:
    Mercer, William G.
    Abstract:
    Resource Planning and Management (RPM) techniques have been applied in this study of a product-mix and production scheduling linear programming problem of a cooperating food processor. Resource Planning and Management is a graphical portrayal of the interactions between related resources and activities within a system. In this study linear RPM...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...
