Care Team Burnout: Predictors and Potential Intervention

Creator:: Alshaiji, Rawan A M A J
Abstract:: Burnout is a state of physical or emotional exhaustion and disconnectedness induced by continuous stress that affects various aspects of an individual’s life. Physicians experience burnout at a higher rate than other professions due to the highly stressful nature of their work. Consequently, physicians are at a higher risk of...

Impact of RFID Technology on Replenishment Decisions for Multi-Echelon Supply Chains

Creator:: Cavazos Sanchez, Myrna Leticia
Abstract:: Radio frequency identification (RFID) has long been regarded as an automated data collection technology that promises solutions to inefficiencies found in supply chains such as “just-in-case” inventory stock, inventory obsolescence, stockouts, and theft. However, the disappointingly slow return on RFID investment has forced companies to examine and redefine RFID initiatives....

Defining and comparing risks and success measures of the reference design process and traditional new product development processes

Creator:: Larson, Tasha M.
Abstract:: To address aggressive global competition, retain customers and increase revenue, firms are required to pursue New Product Development (NPD) projects. Ventures of this nature are risky and fail often. Numerous factors influence the survival of a project. In this research, 16 factors have been identified and selected as indicators of...

Two-stage flexible flow shop scheduling with blocking constraint and batching machines

Creator:: Panahi, Hadi
Abstract:: In this dissertation, a two stage flexible flow shop scheduling problem is studied, where in stage 1, there are identical batch processors (burnout ovens) and in stage 2, there are identical discrete processors (furnaces). Batch processors perform a pre-heating process on a batch of jobs at a time and discrete...

Designed to fit : tailored technologies for medical practitioners

Creator:: de Brum, Silvina
Abstract:: Although electronic medical records systems (EMR) present promising benefits, they have not yet been widely adopted. A problem facing many EMR are that they are disruptive technologies; their complex hardware and software are not designed to account for the clinicians' characteristics and needs, thus, demanding a steep learning curve and...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

A conceptual and strategy map for lean process transformation

Creator:: Mirdad, Waleed Khalid
Abstract:: Since the introduction of lean manufacturing by Toyota and publication by Womack and Jones, organizations have realized sizeable gains through lean process improvement. The spread of lean practices across organizations and industries – from manufacturing to healthcare and construction – requires adjustments of the lean process and, in the case...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

An economic and environmental assessment model for microchannel device manufacturing

Creator:: Gao, Qi
Abstract:: A key application of microchannel process technology (MPT) is its implementation in heat exchanger devices, since a larger surface contact area can be realized than in conventional approaches, thus achieving high heat transfer efficiency. To justify high volume production of configurations validated as prototypes, and to select from among the...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Use and perceptions among selected Oregon manufacturing companies concerning ergonomic consulting services

Creator:: Linn, Joy L.
Abstract:: This study surveyed a sample population of manufacturing companies in Oregon. Respondents were surveyed concerning their perceptions of ergonomics and their use of ergonomic consulting services from three potential sources of ergonomic consulting services. The sources of ergonomic consulting services were the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OR-OSHA), Workers'...
