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...

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 and experimental evaluation of branch-and-bound algorithms for determining optimum static job-shop production schedules

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...

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...

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...

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...
