  • An integrated approach to the evaluation of multiattributed alternatives in facility siting studies

    Creator:
    West, Thomas Moore
    Abstract:
    Facility location studies involve the selection of a preferred course of action from an array of multiattributed alternatives. The factors affecting this selection are defined in both quantifiable and qualifiable terms. The former comprises primarily monetary or operational data, and the latter consists of nonmonetary and environmental parameters; where the...

  • Shrimp processing in Oregon : planning, analysis and control

    Creator:
    Cheung, Chi Ming
    Abstract:
    Shrimp gradually has become a significant portion of seafood in Oregon during the last two decades. The attention is attracted to the economic, technology, and efficiency of resource management, harvesting, processing, and marketing. This thesis is a study of the path of Pacific pink shrimp, Pandalus Jordani, from the ocean,...

  • 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 tine 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...

  • An application of one-factor and two-factor information channel models to marketing research problems

    Creator:
    Shirland, Larry Elwyn
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an introduction to Marketing Research concepts, relates Operations Research to Marketing Research and discusses the limitations of each. An Information Theory approach based on Shannon's fundamental theorems and extended by Kunisawa is applied to one-factor and two-factor marketing problems. The objective of one-factor information channel models is...

  • An examination of inverse sequential (serial) learning as a method of skill training in industry : a human factors engineering approach

    Creator:
    Conatser, Berns Burl
    Abstract:
    The necessity for the evaluation of training methods on a between methods basis is suggested. Current methods of training evaluations are considered, and found to be generally deficient for their lack of between technique comparisons. The necessity for an outline of planned comparative analysis of training methods is indicated and...

  • Skill design, evaluation, and implementation of improved Dungeness crab meat extraction methods

    Creator:
    Willis, George Paul
    Abstract:
    The Dungeness crab fishery is the largest and oldest known shellfish fishery of the North Pacific coast of North America. The stability and development of this fishery is seriously hampered by increasing meat extraction costs and labor shortages. Alternative solutions to offset the increasing costs and labor shortages include: 1)...

  • 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)...
