  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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)...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

    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...

  • A matrix game approach to linear programming

    Creator:
    Park, Tongkyu
    Abstract:
    It is the hope and expectation of many specialists in the area of linear programming that a major improvement in solution techniques for handling large-scale models with thousands of constraints will be developed in the near future. Although the present state of the art for solving linear programs is still...
