  • An integrated assembly tolerance analysis system

    Creator:
    Qian, Xiaonong
    Abstract:
    Tolerance analysis and synthesis plays a vital role in the success of a product design because it directly affects product quality and manufacturing cost. It also affects manufacturing process selection and planning. This research provides a review of several commonly used assembly tolerance analysis models and evaluation of their limitations....

  • Object oriented simulation tools for discrete-continuous, stochastic-deterministic simulation models

    Creator:
    Fisher, Joseph A.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis an introduction to simulation and object oriented programming discusses the need for the creation of several classes which directly support object oriented simulation. The author places no restrictions on the type of simulations that can be conducted and simulation practitioners will find that the classes provided lay...

  • An object-oriented simulation system for softwood sawmills

    Creator:
    Zhang, Guangchao
    Abstract:
    S3 (Softwood Sawmill Simulator) is a sawmill simulation system for modeling the operations of Pacific Northwest softwood lumber mills. S3 consists of three main parts. The first part is the framework for construction of the sawmill layout. The second part focuses on individual machine centers, their process and down times,...

  • A power comparison of mutual fund timing and selectivity models under varying portfolio and market conditions

    Creator:
    Azimi-Zonooz, Aydeen
    Abstract:
    The goal of this study is to test the accuracy of various mutual fund timing and selectivity models under a range of portfolio managerial skills and varying market conditions. Portfolio returns in a variety of skill environments are generated using a simulation procedure. The generated portfolio returns are based on...

  • Design and implementation of a production scheduling system for continuous manufacturing environment

    Creator:
    Rai, Nivruti
    Abstract:
    Scheduling a continuous manufacturing flow shop environment with several machines, stochastic arrival of demands, different product requirements and limited resources is a complex task. This research develops a methodology for scheduling products in glass fiber industry. The system consists of two components. An optimizing linear program determines the optimal solution...

  • Cockpit task management errors : an ASRS incident report study

    Creator:
    Madhavan, Devadasan
    Abstract:
    The flightcrew of a modern airliner operates in a multi-tasking environment with several tasks competing for the same attentional resources at the same time. Too many tasks vying for the crew's attention concurrently imposes a heavy workload on the flightcrew. This results in the satisfactory execution of some tasks at...

  • An expert system for softwood lumber grading

    Creator:
    Zeng, Yimin
    Abstract:
    The focus of this research is to develop a prototype expert system for softwood lumber grading. The grading rules used in the knowledge base of the system are based on Western Lumber Grading Rules 88 published by the Western Wood Products Association. The system includes 27 grades in Dimension, Select/Finish,...
