  • 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...

  • An analysis of the unit dose pharmacy system in small hospitals

    Creator:
    Kingsley, Daniel Bruce
    Abstract:
    The traditional and the unit dose pharmacy distribution system were compared to determine which one, in thd opinion of hospital pharmacists and administrators, is best suited to the needs of hospitals of less than 200 beds. The comparison was made by having the pharmacists rate the alternative distribution systems on...

  • 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...

  • Critical path scheduling : tableau method

    Creator:
    Inoue, Michael Shigeru
    Abstract:
    The concept of a Critical Path Scheduling Tableau is introduced as an integrating tool for solving industrial engineering problems involving the application of transitive graphs. The Tableau is a combination of a precedence matrix and a boundary time table which may be used to construct graphical representations for critical path...

  • Analysis of human and equipment performance in critical path scheduling

    Creator:
    Gordon, Richard Allen
    Abstract:
    The utilization of historical data is suggested as an approach to solving some of the difficulties involved in the estimating of activity durations in critical path scheduling. The historical data presented show the effects of various weather conditions upon the performance of human labor and mechanical equipment. When combined with...

  • Critical path budgeting : a synthesis of budgeting and critical path scheduling

    Creator:
    Dervitsiotis, Kostas N.
    Abstract:
    Critical Path Budgeting is introduced as an integrating tool for project planning, coordination, and control. Through a synthesis of budgeting and critical path scheduling, it is possible to treat the time and cost variables of a project explicitly. Thus, one can analyze the behavior of the firm as an approximation...

  • 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...

  • Design, construction, and evaluation of a mechanical queueing simulator

    Creator:
    Moose, Victor Corson
    Abstract:
    A machine capable of demonstrating and solving queueing problems is useful to any systems engineer. This paper describes a successful queueing simulator constructed from readily available materials. The machine is easy to operate, portable, and simple enough to be built in any well equipped machine shop. The educational values of...

  • An evaluation of optimization techniques for production and employment scheduling

    Creator:
    Chiu, Wu-yan
    Abstract:
    A single item is to be produced over a given number of time periods to satisfy the future requirements which are subject to fluctuations. The production rate and work force level for each time period are to be decided in order to minimize the production cost where the costs for...
