  • Equipment replacement prioritization measures : simulation and testing for a vehicle fleet

    Creator:
    Kriett, Phillip Oliver
    Abstract:
    Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Fleet Services manages a fleet that in 2008 included approximately 5,000 pieces of active equipment worth $340–$390 million. Every biennium, a fixed budget is available to replace a certain amount of this equipment. This research evaluated various measures for establishing equipment replacement priorities. A model...

  • Priority asset utilization in parallel replacement analysis

    Creator:
    Wagner, Tristan John
    Abstract:
    Two policies for allocating individual assets from a pool of assets to incoming requests were contrasted within the context of replacement analysis. Assets within a pool are considered similar in the service they provide, but may differ in age and cumulative usage. The two policies considered for allocating assets to...

  • Impact of asset usage preferences on parallel replacement decisions

    Creator:
    Wagner, Tristan John
    Abstract:
    Data from a state department of transportation fleet shows that the usage of a typical asset decreases as it ages. One possible explanation for decreasing asset usage with age is operator preference for using the newest available asset. In this research the long-term cost and replacement implications of such a...

  • Utilizing wireless-based data collection units for automated vehicle movement data collection

    Creator:
    Saeedi, Amirali
    Abstract:
    There are many different types of automatic data collection technologies that have been used in transportation system applications such as pneumatic tubes, radar, video cameras, inductive loops detectors, wireless toll tags, and global positioning systems (GPS). Nevertheless, there are still multiple examples of important and helpful transportation system data that...

  • Container fleet-sizing for part transportation and storage in the supply chain

    Creator:
    Park, SeJoon
    Abstract:
    This research addresses fleet-sizing for reusable containers that are used for protection, transportation, and storage of parts between a component plant and assembly plant. These reusable containers are often expensive and occupy a large amount of storage space when empty and full. Having a large container fleet comes with higher...

  • Multi-Sensor Data Fusion for Specific Energy Estimation in a Surface Grinding Process

    Creator:
    Desabathina, Sai Srinivas
    Abstract:
    Specific energy, defined as the energy consumed by per unit volumetric removal rate, is one of the key metrics used for evaluating the environmental performance of a machining process. Grinding is a traditional machining process, characterized by high specific energy and poor environmental performance. Growing global concerns about climate change...

  • Assessing the Maturity of Industrial Engineering as an Engineering Discipline

    Creator:
    Murphy, Thomas W.
    Abstract:
    Industrial Engineering is a broad discipline, with a wide range of definitions for the field and the knowledge areas that make up its parts. A conceptual gap exists between the definition of the field of Industrial Engineering and the definitions of each of these parts. To facilitate advancement of the...

  • Reliable Integrated Planning: Applications in Hub Network Design and Airline Ground Crew Task Assignment

    Creator:
    Barahimi, Pouya
    Abstract:
    In general, making optimal decisions is a never ending challenge that decision makers face. A comprehensive model that integrates decisions at all three levels of decision making (i.e., strategic, tactical, and operational) can help the decision maker to find solutions that best serve the organization's performance. However, as organizations expand...

  • A computer-assisted qualitative data analysis framework for the engineering management domain

    Creator:
    Saeedi, Amirali
    Abstract:
    Qualitative data analysis (QDA) is a time consuming and, potentially unreliable research activity. In qualitative research, a number of tasks must be repeated for every new research case, even if each case is closely related or is in the same area of study. Existing QDA applications provide users with a...
