Construction risks allocation : optimal risk allocation decision support model

Creator:: Alsalman, Ali Abdullah
Abstract:: It has been suggested that projects in the construction industry are subject to risks more than other industries. However, there is often little parity in allocation of risks in the construction industry. Usually, project participants allocate risks by aversion where owners tend to shift risks to the primary contractor, who...

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...

Study of multi-criteria decision-making : development of a decision model to determine when to conduct nighttime construction road work

Creator:: Park, Sang-Bin
Abstract:: Many Departments of Transportation (DOTs) have done construction and maintenance work at night in order to minimize the disruption of daytime traffic, but nighttime operations produce a new set of concerns such as safety, public relations, productivity, and work quality. In addition, decision-making for using nighttime operations has been subjective...

An economic and environmental assessment model for microchannel device manufacturing

Creator:: Gao, Qi
Abstract:: A key application of microchannel process technology (MPT) is its implementation in heat exchanger devices, since a larger surface contact area can be realized than in conventional approaches, thus achieving high heat transfer efficiency. To justify high volume production of configurations validated as prototypes, and to select from among the...

Assisting decision making in component design for sustainable manufacturing

Creator:: Eastlick, Dane D.
Abstract:: Current life cycle assessment tools are often deficient in assisting design for sustainable manufacturing efforts. Integrating an improved assessment method into a decision support framework will provide a means for designers and engineers to better understand the impacts of their decisions. A unit process modeling-based sustainability assessment method is presented...

A decision support system for integrating fishing and fish processing

Creator:: Bjarnason, Einar Thor
Abstract:: Production planning in fish processing is heavily dependent on the raw material supply. Because of the uncertainties associated with the quantity of catch and its composition, planning for production is a difficult task. Until recently the fish processing plants in Iceland also had to accept the entire loads of fishing...
