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...

Minimum cost scheduling of resource constrained jobs on parallel machines under control of interchangeable processors

Creator:: Ng, George Kwok Wing
Abstract:: A special case of a parallel multiprocessor scheduling (MP) problem is investigated. A set of jobs with a known process time and a.resource requirement is scheduled on machines controlled by processors,and the total changeover cost between jobs is to be minimized. Each processor may control up to two machines and...

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)...

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 line 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...

Application of pattern recognition to a human behavior problem

Creator:: Chang, Chia-hao
Abstract:: Pattern recognition techniques and their application to a consumer behavior study are presented. The Local Majority Method (LOMAME) utilizes a set of prototypes and corrective factors which undergo a training cycle before being utilized as pattern classifiers. Its advantages over the Minimum-Distance Method and the Fix and Hodges Method are...

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...

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...

Determination of optimal supply points in centralized distribution systems

Creator:: Matsuda, Yoichi
Abstract:: The determination of the number and locations of optimal supply points in centralized distribution systems is considered from both theoretical and institutional aspects. The Euclidean distance problems that typify the theoretical school of location search are discussed and seven different solution techniques are investigated: the Torricelli, linear programming, exhaustive search,...
