Container fleet-sizing for part transportation and storage in the supply chain

Creator:: Park, SeJoon
Abstract:: This research addresses fleet-sizing for reusable containers that are used for protection, transportation, and storage of parts between a component plant and assembly plant. These reusable containers are often expensive and occupy a large amount of storage space when empty and full. Having a large container fleet comes with higher...

A quadratic programming algorithm for deriving efficient farm plans in a risk setting

Creator:: Bauer, Leonard
Abstract:: The main focus was on developing an algorithm and supporting computer programs for use by extension personel to counsel farm managers on problems of enterprise choice. Investigation was initiated from the complete certainty viewpoint of linear programming. Upon introducing uncertainty, ramifications of changing expected income, variance and the correlation coefficient...

An efficient specification and solution method of the even-aged rotation and thinning problem

Creator:: Paredes-Veloso, Gonzalo L.
Abstract:: The problem of determining an optimal sequence of decisions in even-aged stand management is analyzed and solved with an alternative to the traditional dynamic programming network. The new method is derived independently from two different approaches to the problem: Network optimization and generalized LaGrange multipliers. Both derivations are presented. It...

A stochastic analysis of erosion and economic impacts associated with timber harvests and forest roads

Creator:: McNutt, James Allen
Abstract:: A complex and sometimes serious problem facing modern day forest managers is that of estimating and analyzing potential on-site impacts which result from forest activities. A major type of adverse impact is man-Initiated forest erosion. This consequence can be substantially magnified when forest harvest and road activities are implemented in...

The potential contribution of a diameter class matrix model to predict growth of mixed tropical forests

Creator:: Ebaa-Atyi, Richard
Abstract:: The study presents two main parts: first, a review of tropical silviculture and forest management systems and, second, the investigation of a growth and yield model which has some potential for application in the tropical region. The presentation of tropical silviculture includes: (1) an overview of the biological characteristics of...

Sensitivity analysis of the Catchment Modeling Framework (CMF) and use in evaluating two agricultural management scenarios

Creator:: Metta, John W. P.
Abstract:: Abstract Watershed-scale fate/transport modeling of contaminants is a tool that scientists and land managers can use to assess pesticide contamination to stream systems. The Catchment Modeling Framework (CMF) is a catchment-scale fate/transport modeling tool. It was developed to help scientists and land managers assess the effects of possible land-use decisions...

Grid search based production switching heuristic for aggregate production planning

Creator:: Nam, Sang-jin
Abstract:: The Production Switching Heuristic (PSH) developed by Mellichamp and Love (1978) has been suggested as a more realistic, practical and intuitively appealing approach to aggregate production planning (APP). In this research, PSH has been modified to present a more sophisticated open grid search procedure for solving the APP problem. The...

A comparison of prediction models for cover type transitions and their effects on harvest schedules in coastal Oregon

Creator:: Eng, Helge
Abstract:: There is considerable uncertainty associated with stand establishment in coastal Oregon. Several species can gain control of the site depending on stand conditions as well as management practices. In this study, three cover type transition models were developed using data from the Siuslaw National Forest to predict stand establishment patterns...

A mathematical modeling framework for scheduling and managing multiple concurrent tasks

Creator:: Shakeri, Shakib
Abstract:: Occurrence of human error in highly complex systems, such as a cockpit, can be disastrous and/or overwhelmingly costly. Mismanagement of multiple concurrent tasks has been observed by researchers to be a type of repetitive human error in previous studies of accidents and incidents. This error may occur in the form...

Three studies on the role of uncertainty in the valuation and management of renewable natural resources

Creator:: Burnes, Ellen Irene
Abstract:: These three papers address uncertainty in the management and valuation of renewable natural resources. The first paper develops a model to integrate both stock and price uncertainty to obtain optimal resource levels. The model is an extension of Reed (1974) and shows by proof and by example that when prices...
