An examination of inverse sequential (serial) learning as a method of skill training in industry : a human factors engineering approach

Creator:: Conatser, Berns Burl
Abstract:: The necessity for the evaluation of training methods on a between methods basis is suggested. Current methods of training evaluations are considered, and found to be generally deficient for their lack of between technique comparisons. The necessity for an outline of planned comparative analysis of training methods is indicated and...

The development of a methodology to study the effects of process dynamics and costs on operator behavior

Creator:: Saedi, Mohammad Vahid
Abstract:: A computer simulation was developed as a technique for studying the effects of the process dynamics on the operator's sampling and control behavior. This methodology was used to study the effects of the process input memory variation in the presence of different observation noise levels. It was concluded that the...

An investigation of the effects of information displays on human forecasting performance

Creator:: Tirakitti, Sunthorn
Abstract:: With increasing frequency man is required to operate as a controller of complex processes. Although his ability to operate quickly varying processes has been extensively studied, his ability to control slowly varying processes has been largely neglected. Often his performance in such tasks is dependent upon his ability to forecast...

A Bayesian model for the determination of optimal sampling intervals

Creator:: Paradis, Garry Lynn
Abstract:: There are a nearly unlimited number of situations in which the status of time-varying processes must be updated. The monitoring of these processes usually occurs at periodic intervals. Whether the monitoring is performed by man or machine, a decision must be made regarding the frequency of these activities, that is,...

The effect of job interruptions on human learning

Creator:: Al-haboubi, Muhammad H.
Abstract:: It is a widely accepted premise of industrial management that an interruption in the performance of a task will be accompanied by a decrease in operator skill level upon resuming performance of the task. Moreover, it has been generally assumed that this loss of skill is related to several factors...

A methodology for the economic evaluation of centralized versus decentralized automated component insertion

Creator:: Randhawa, Sabah
Abstract:: Productivity gains in the manufacturing sector have generally been credited to investments in production facilities that supplemented or replaced manual labor. Insertion of circuit boards is a key activity in the electronics industry. Improvements in productivity of circuit board manufacture may be achieved by replacing manual component insertion with automatic...

Increased throughput by aisle zoning in end-of-aisle order picking AS/R systems

Creator:: Khan, Mohammad Younas
Abstract:: A simulation study of end-of-aisle order picking AS/R systems is made with special emphasis on improving the system throughput by introducing a zone near the home (Input/Output) location on each side of the aisle, for storing partially picked pallets. The study considered class-based-turnover assignment policies, one with a zone and...

A containership load planning heuristic for a transtainer based container port

Creator:: Martin, Gifford L.
Abstract:: A heuristic is developed to plan loads for containerized cargo ships. It is designed to serve a port which uses gantry cranes (transtainers) and trucks to handle containers. The model recognizes constraints on ship stability, placing containers in a bay with the proper length, placing refrigerated cargo near electrical outlets,...

A Bayesian analysis for economic design of single sampling plans for a sequence of lots

Creator:: Taracena, Fernando L.
Abstract:: A dynamic approach to the Bayesian theory of sampling inspection by attributes for the single sampling case is presented. A model is developed which assumes a sequence of lots of equal known size and lots generated by a process operating in a random manner. The model also assumes constant associated...

Evaluation of the limit number effects for reduced inspection in ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 using a Markov model

Creator:: Grinde, Roger B.
Abstract:: ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 is a widely used attributes acceptance sampling system. A necessary aspect of a scheme, from both a theoretical and psychological viewpoint, is the switching between normal, tightened, and reduced inspection as a function of quality history. In the latest revision of the standard the switching rules were altered...
