Framework and Method for Designing Complementarist Interventions to Systemically Address Management Challenges in Small Organizations

Creator:: Moore, Bradley
Abstract:: Small organizations may face several management challenges, such as developing non-centralized management structures, knowledge retention in rapid turnover environments, complex operations, and diverse stakeholder requirements. Many methodologies exist to address such management challenges, including viable system model, knowledge management, and Toyota production system, or lean manufacturing. Each of these methodologies...

Work Overloads Approximation on a Moving Assembly Line Workstation using Markov Chain

Creator:: Khandke, Shardul
Abstract:: Moving mixed-model assembly lines are used by many companies to assemble multiple model types of a particular product. A moving assembly line consists of a material movement system that moves jobs at a constant velocity across a series of workstations. The variation in the work content of jobs at workstations...

Residential water conservation and energy efficiency impacts through effective scheduling and opportunities for regional expansion : a case study of a gas tankless water heater with recirculation loop

Creator:: Johnson, Erica M.
Abstract:: This study focused on the potential water and energy savings from implementing a revised schedule of a recirculation pump connected to a condensing gas tankless water heater located in a study home in Portland, Oregon. The existing recirculation pump activation schedule was studied for its impact on the overall water...

A comparison of single runs versus multistart for simulated annealing and threshold accepting

Creator:: Crews, Matthew
Abstract:: Simulated Annealing and Threshold Accepting are two stochastic search algorithms that have been successfully used on a variety of complex and difficult problem sets. Due to their stochastic nature they are not guaranteed to produce the same result for each run. This means that these techniques actually produce a distribution...

A tool to support conceptual change : identifying methods to ensure employee satisfaction along Lean implementation

Creator:: Grijalva, Paola E.
Abstract:: To address several challenges faced in healthcare, the Triple Aim (3A) was targeted by institutions to improve health outcomes and patient experience while reducing the costs of health. Process improvement techniques in manufacturing, such as Lean systems, were applied as tools to achieve the 3A framework. Unfortunately, the high level...

Utilizing smart manufacturing information in a job shop to support job selection and processing speed decisions

Creator:: Houck, Christopher
Abstract:: Creating schedules for the job shop manufacturing system is an extremely difficult task. Although researchers have devoted a lot of attention to generating optimal solutions, these solutions are static, thus they do not update as random events occur that disrupt the system. As smart manufacturing has grown, researchers have been...

Perceived Effectiveness of Highway Work Zone Intrusion Mitigation Technologies: A State DOT Perspective

Creator:: Kadalli, Manjunath Veeresh
Abstract:: Highway work zones are extremely dangerous environments due to the presence of workers near high-speed traveling vehicles. This dynamic environment results in a disproportionate number of accidents that cause injury and casualty to both drivers and workers due primarily to vehicular intrusions into work zones. Several emerging work zone intrusion...

A Theoretical Framework to Capture Stakeholders' Perspectives for the Design of Collaborative Communication Structures for Specialized Organizations

Creator:: Chongvilaiwan, Tanida
Abstract:: Small business energy analysts often specialize in one aspect of the business. This specialized focus is done by necessity due to scarcity of resources and to maintain a proprietary market niche. However, this specialized focus results in a growth inhibitor due to their lack of ability to address all the...

Using RUBI to partition agents in air traffic problems with hard constraints and reward shaping

Creator:: Curran, William
Abstract:: Air traffic flow management over the U.S. airpsace is a difficult problem. Current management approaches lead to hundreds of thousands of hours of delay, costing billions of dollars annually. Weather and airport conditions may instigate this delay, but routing decisions balancing delay with congestion contribute significantly to the propagation of...

Bi-criteria Scheduling in an Assembly Flow Shop with Limited Buffer Storage and Shift Production

Creator:: Aryal, Ayush R.
Abstract:: In this research, the comparative performance of permutation and non-permutation schedules is investigated in an assembly flow shop (AFS) with shift production, where a limited buffer storage is available between two machines. Most of the traditional scheduling problems consider continuous production, i.e., production occurs for 24 hours (3 * 8-hour...
