  • An integrated approach to the evaluation of multiattributed alternatives in facility siting studies

    Creator:
    West, Thomas Moore
    Abstract:
    Facility location studies involve the selection of a preferred course of action from an array of multiattributed alternatives. The factors affecting this selection are defined in both quantifiable and qualifiable terms. The former comprises primarily monetary or operational data, and the latter consists of nonmonetary and environmental parameters; where the...

  • Manpower pattern prediction for multi-project situations

    Creator:
    Olsen, Eldon D.
    Abstract:
    The use of logistic-type growth curves in the prediction of future engineering manpower utilization patterns is a viable technique. When a work environment consists of a large number of repetitive type project the use of regression analysis and Weibull curve shapes gives a reliable forecast of the time-phased utilization of...

  • Timber harvest layout by mathematical and Heuristic programming

    Creator:
    Dykstra, Dennis P.
    Abstract:
    Although some of the most difficult problems in forest management occur as a result of timber harvest operations, present methodology in harvest planning emphasizes guidelines which rely heavily upon the experience of the individual forest manager for their correct application. This study was undertaken in an effort to develop a...

  • Systems tableau : an integrated approach to systems theory

    Creator:
    Inoue, Michael Shigeru
    Abstract:
    Systems Tableau is suggested as a convenient tool for the integration of the three phases of systems theory: the synthesis of a model from the analysis of a system; the evaluation of the model; and the decision-making process for the design and control of the resulting system. From a basic...

  • An investigation of the influence of choice structure on decision making behavior

    Creator:
    Dervitsiotis, Kostas N.
    Abstract:
    The behavior of individuals in decision making under risk was investigated using choice structures of greater complexity than the types examined in previous studies. The experiment performed consisted of two phases. In Phase I a basic utility function for money was derived for each subject using lotteries with two equally...

  • The impact of technology on the mental content of work in industrial operations

    Creator:
    Van Gigch, John P.
    Abstract:
    Industrial operations are becoming more mechanized and automated. The increasing complexity of work affects the proportion of physical to mental effort which workers spend in the performance of their jobs. Traditional work measurement techniques which are primarily designed to measure the individual's physical load have to be complemented with other...
