Scheduling repetitive projects using the economic scheduling path procedure

Creator:: Sprenger, Donald Lee
Abstract:: Economic Scheduling Path (ESP) is an extension to the Critical Path Method. It was developed by Professors Riggs and Inoue of Oregon State University to effectively optimize resource utilization in repeated projects. This paper summarizes the Economic Scheduling Path terminology, ladder network representations, algorithms, and progress charts as originally presented...

A practical way to include merge bias in calculating total project duration of a PERT network

Creator:: Rawal, Subhash Chander
Abstract:: Uncertainty of the magnitude of merge bias in PERT networks has long been of concern to the users of this technique. A simple rule to determine the magnitude has since posed a problem. The purpose of this thesis was to develop empirical rules to correct the time estimates of cumulative...

A quantitative index for evaluation of plant layout alternatives

Creator:: Pond, James Woodrow Jr.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to develop a workable plant layout evaluation technique incorporating adequate definitive measures of intangible plant layout considerations. A summary and critique is given of existing evaluation methods. A quantitative evaluation index (QEI) is proposed to remedy the described deficiencies. The proposed index can be...

Decision procedures for capital rationing under conditions of risk

Creator:: Nebergall, David William
Abstract:: The problem of deciding exactly how to allocate a limited amount of capital resources among competing investment alternatives in order to provide the greatest economic benefit to the business enterprise has been a subject of interest for nearly a century. Many decision models and methods for evaluation and comparison of...

Industrial adjustments in American Managerial techniques for developing countries

Creator:: Andrade, Hernan Miguel
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is twofold; first, to describe and analyze the most significant problems encountered by managers of manufacturing plants in developing countries. American managerial techniques are taken as basis of comparison. Second, to suggest approaches and points of view which can be useful to managers and students...

Analysis of single-channel maintenance costs

Creator:: Paul, Alexander
Abstract:: This thesis is a study of certain costs relevant to the repair of process line equipment. A specific production configuration is studied through computer simulation and statistics. The significance of the simulated costs are investigated and related to practical production problems. Costs relevant to the "permanent repair" of production equipment...

Measurement and management implications of intergenerational differences in resistance to change

Creator:: Mohr, Carl Eric
Abstract:: This study deals with intergenerational differences in the industrial environment. Rapid changes in our social and technological society suggest the characteristics of dogmatism and trust as possible indicators of differences between practicing professionals and upper division university students. Each subject's reaction to change was measured through administration of Rokeach's Dogmatism...

Industrial engineering in America as a guide for industrial engineering education in Kore

Creator:: Ro, In Kyu
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to investigate the direction of future Korean industrial engineering education and to suggest how U.S. experiences can guide Korean developments. The leading indicator concept, correlation coefficients are utilized. The following statistical relationships were developed and the following educational and practical industrial engineering trends in...

A branch and bound algorithm applied to field office location

Creator:: Lovro, Daryl Stanley
Abstract:: This thesis develops a model for locating field offices for the Motor Vehicles Division of Oregon. The locations are determined by minimizing the total cost to the Public. This is reasonable because the Public finances the operation and the opening of the offices through tax dollars, and it bears the...

A hospital cost model

Creator:: May, Mathew George
Abstract:: This thesis develops a cost model for short-term, non-federal, general hospitals through a regression analysis of data from a sample of D. S. hospitals. The analysis examines the impact various factors have on hospital costs as measured by the cost per patient. The results contradict the beliefs of other researchers...
