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...

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:: Rao, Dodla Nageswara
Abstract:: Line balancing is concerned with the optimal assignment of work elements to individual operators in an assembly line 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...

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...

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...

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...

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:: 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...
