  • 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...

  • 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....

  • The steps taken to design, select, and manufacture a shoe press for a small shoe manufacturing company

    Creator:
    Albassam, Mishal
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project was to research, design and build a shoe press for a local company called Soft Star Shoes. Soft Star Shoes were looking for different ways to replace their barging process, which is the process of attaching the rubber sole of the shoe to the upper...

  • The photoelastic coating method applied to the stress analysis of wood

    Creator:
    Fritz, Dennis William
    Abstract:
    The merits of the photoelastic coating technique as applied to wood were evaluated. Comparative tests were made on 12 nominal two-by-four Douglas Fir boards. The object of these tests was to determine the limitations of this technique, such as accuracy and complexity of experimental procedure. Correlation of the experimental results...

  • Evaluation of scheduling rules for single- and dual-dock automated storage

    Creator:
    Wang, Wen-tsao
    Abstract:
    Automated Storage and Retrieval (AS/R) Systems have had a considerable impact on manufacturing and distribution processes. The configuration of AS/R systems vary considerably, depending on the particular application. The effect of different retrieval scheduling rules is analyzed and compared for three different unit-load AS/R systems operating under dual-command cycle. The...

  • A microcomputer-based information management and production planning system : an application in discrete parts manufacturing

    Creator:
    Pendakur, Ramesh
    Abstract:
    The focus of this research is to design and develop a microcomputer-based information management and production planning system for a discrete parts manufacturing facility. The information management module is based on relational database concepts. This information is used by the scheduling module to generate initial production schedules based on manufacturing...

  • Multiobjective decision making in industrial energy and environmental planning

    Creator:
    Kang, Hee Jung
    Abstract:
    Multiobjective Decision Making (MODM) has been suggested for the solution of complicated decision problems. Decision analysis in numerous areas, including industrial energy and environmental planning, necessarily requires consideration of multiple conflicting objectives. MODM has been successfully applied to a number of these problems of this type. Moreover, it has the...

  • 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...
