Creator:: Brown, Malcolm O.
Abstract:: Micro- and nanotechnologies are promising advancements across many industrial sectors, including alternative energy, chemical processing, and healthcare. In particular, a focus of research has been in manufacturing process development aimed at microdevice cost reduction and quality improvement. Microdevices take advantage of enhanced heat and mass transfer to improve energy and...

Creator:: Cho, Doug Woon
Abstract:: Ship turnaround time at a marine containerport is an important measure of the port's efficiency and attractiveness. Both the speed and quality of load planning affect the length of turnaround time considerably. Past attempts at computerizing the load planning function have been unsatisfactory and have not reflected the port's objective...

Creator:: Stavrakis, George D.
Abstract:: A new method is developed for solving linear optimization problems based on the RPM network modeling technique which represents the primal and the corresponding dual models simultaneously upon a single graph. The network structure is used to eliminate the need for explicit logical variables and to provide a graphic tool...

Creator:: Li, Yu-An
Abstract:: This research was motivated by the use of multi-track feeders in the printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. In a low volume, high mix production environment, setup time is usually considered more important than processing time. Implementation of multi-track feeders not only increases the capacity of the surface mount machines but...

Creator:: Tong, Anh B.
Abstract:: The developmental milestones of Sustainability are consistent with the post-normal versus traditional science, where transdisciplinary and policy/action research are among the important approaches to be added to traditional analysis. This shift requires a new perspective to look at the problem at hand: we are no longer considering a group of...

Creator:: Ryan, John Vincent
Abstract:: A discrete multi-facility plant location algorithm developed by Basheer Khumawala is modified and applied to the location analysis of offices of the State of Oregon Health Facilities Licensing and Certification Section (HFLC). Choice of the algorithm is based upon a literature survey of available computational procedures which compares their relative...

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...

Creator:: Ramalingam, P. Rama, 1941-
Abstract:: Branch-and-Bound algorithms are developed to optimally schedule static single- and multi-stage job-shop productions. The 'corollary' of the study is to experimentally verify the effectiveness of branch-and-bound algorithms to overcome the "curse of dimensionality" due to the combinatorial nature of job-shop scheduling problems. The static scheduling problem contemplated in this dissertation...
