  • Analysis of human and equipment performance in critical path scheduling

    Creator:
    Gordon, Richard Allen
    Abstract:
    The utilization of historical data is suggested as an approach to solving some of the difficulties involved in the estimating of activity durations in critical path scheduling. The historical data presented show the effects of various weather conditions upon the performance of human labor and mechanical equipment. When combined with...

  • A practical way to include merge bias in calculating total project duration of a PERT network

    Creator:
    Rawal, Subhash Chander
    Abstract:
    Uncertainty of the magnitude of merge bias in PERT networks has long been of concern to the users of this technique. A simple rule to determine the magnitude has since posed a problem. The purpose of this thesis was to develop empirical rules to correct the time estimates of cumulative...

  • Critical path scheduling : tableau method

    Creator:
    Inoue, Michael Shigeru
    Abstract:
    The concept of a Critical Path Scheduling Tableau is introduced as an integrating tool for solving industrial engineering problems involving the application of transitive graphs. The Tableau is a combination of a precedence matrix and a boundary time table which may be used to construct graphical representations for critical path...

  • Multi-factor information theory models and their industrial applications

    Creator:
    Shirland, Larry Elwyn
    Abstract:
    This dissertation treats information theory and its applications to the general area of decision making. Specifically, three areas are covered; (1) information theory applied to Bayesian analysis, (2) estimation using multi-factor information channel models, and (3) information theory applied to Markov chain analysis. A major portion of this dissertation concerns...

  • A comparison of methods for finding Hamiltonian circuits in graphs

    Creator:
    DeCurtins, Jeffrey Lee
    Abstract:
    This paper compares three classes of algorithms for finding Hamiltonian circuits in graphs. Two of the classes are exhaustive search procedures and this study finds them to have an exponential dependence on the size of the graph. The third class of algorithms, based on Warnsdorff's rule, is found to be...

  • Design of efficient constant weight codes

    Creator:
    Tallini, Luca
    Abstract:
    In a constant weight code, each code word contains a constant number of 1's. If this number is equal to half the length of the code word then the code is called balanced. These codes find many applications in computer and communication systems noise reduction in VLSI systems, fault masking...
