A model was developed for the inventory control of the Volkswagen
spare parts distribution in Greece. The model utilizes the
capabilities of a digital computer, and features four systems, the
necessary system files and various routines.
Flexible statistical forecasting techniques are included for
forecasting the distributor parts demand. Computerized procedures...
A feasibility and practicality study was made of an automotive-type
surface vehicle that employed a centralized or unitized means of
control. The control functions consisted of: steering, acceleration,
deceleration, clutch actuation, gear changes, turn signal operation
and horn actuation. These controls were arranged in such a manner
that the driver...
The design and testing of a portable pumping system for use in
the hydraulic excavation of commercial crab pots buried by ocean
sediment was undertaken. The resulting portable system retained the
four major components of the pumping systems presently used by
commercial fishermen: engine, pump, fire hose, and nozzle. Because...
In an attempt to satisfy an existing need for a small gas
sample pump, a proposed design was analyzed and determined to be
feasible and a design for a prototype model was produced. The
design is of a chemically inert, leak-proof, unlubricated, sliding-vane-
type pump. It is designed to pump...
The study investigated the prescription drug
purchasing behaviors of independent retail pharmacies,
and selected pharmacy characteristics which may be related
to purchasing behaviors. The purchasing function
was considered as a major area of concern for independent
pharmacies in attempting to improve operating efficiencies,
particularly in view of increased competition
from...
The design of a more efficient waterjet system for excavation of
commercial crab pots buried in ocean sediment was undertaken. The
work resulted in the design of an improved nozzle with performance
that was shown to be significantly better than that of previously used
nozzles. Greater sand penetration and excavation...
In an effort to fill an existing need two small electric service
vehicles were designed, constructed, and tested. The first
acted as a feasibility study and the second as a design prototype.
The vehicles had low cost and the capability of being fabricated by
their users as two main design...
