  • A mathematical analysis and critique of activity-based costing using mixed integer programming

    Creator:
    Hamler-Dupras, Kevin
    Abstract:
    The acquisition and elimination of products and the resources needed to create them constitutes an important part of the business decision-making process. Activity-based costing (ABC) supports this process by providing a tool for evaluating the relative profitability of various products. It accomplishes this by allocating costs to products based on...

  • Development of a discrete-event, object-oriented framework for network-centric simulation modeling using Java

    Creator:
    Colvin, Kurt
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of this research is to develop a network-centric simulation modeling framework that can be used to build simulation models through the use of Internet-based resources. An object-oriented programming approach was used to build a Java-based modeling framework focused on modeling a semiconductor fabrication system. This research is...

  • Evaluation of scheduling heuristics for non-identical parallel processors

    Creator:
    Kuo, Chun-Ho
    Abstract:
    An evaluation of scheduling heuristics for non-identical parallel processors was performed. There has been limited research that has focused on scheduling of parallel processors. This research generalizes the results from prior work in this area and examines complex scheduling rules in terms of flow time, tardiness, and proportion of tardy...

  • Manufacturing Process Design and Electrically-Assisted Embossing of a Microchannel Solar Receiver

    Creator:
    McNeff, Patrick S.
    Abstract:
    Manufacturing process design (MPD) represents a design-oriented approach to manufacturing engineering. In this dissertation, Haynes 230 (H230), a solid solution-strengthened Ni-based superalloy, was chosen to meet the material requirements of a microchannel solar receiver (MSR) needed to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of solar thermal power generation. An...

  • About good work

    Creator:
    Lee, Wei-Tau
    Abstract:
    This research is an effort to explore the nature of good work, a concept that describes work that is beneficial to the physical, psychological, and social dimensions of its stakeholders, including and especially the worker. This effort is divided into four distinct parts. First, the construct of good work is...

  • Distribution center performance assessment

    Creator:
    Kuo, Chun-Ho, 1969-
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research is to assess the performance measurement systems currently used in today's distribution centers. A comprehensive investigation of distribution centers' performance measurement system is completed. Three major research phases are included in this study. An overview of distribution centers, including background, components, functions, and material handling...

    Creator:
    Alshaiji, Rawan
    Abstract:
    Medical professionals experience higher rates of burnout than other professions due to the highly stressful nature of their environment. In 2018, 94 percent of physicians reported experiencing burnout – characterized by emotional fatigue, and feelings of depersonalization and low personal accomplishment – at some point in their careers. As emotional...

  • Using Conceptual Change to Improve Lean Implementation Quality

    Creator:
    Mirdad, Waleed K.
    Abstract:
    Change initiatives have a 70 percent failure rate, but effective change is necessary if a company is to remain competitive. Current organizational change research around lean process improvement links unsatisfactory implementation results to organizational behaviors, but does not assess how individual cognitive characteristics affect successful lean implementation. Although a range...

  • Automated feature extraction for orientation and slicing in microlamination

    Creator:
    Ariastuti, Retna
    Abstract:
    The research is about developing a computerized design system for microtechnology-based energy, and chemical systems (MECS). MECS devices are a part of microfabrication, which primarily focuses on taking advantage of the extremely high rates of heat and mass transfer available in microstructures. It typically consists of intricate arrays of components...
