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...

of sediment in steep terrain of the Pacific Northwest.
Poorly vegetated debris deposits and scars resulting from landslides
remove land from the productive timber base, and are subject to
continuing erosion. To examine the impact of these events on...
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...
This study deals with intergenerational differences in the
industrial environment. Rapid changes in our social and technological
society suggest the characteristics of dogmatism and trust as possible
indicators of differences between practicing professionals and upper
division university students.
Each subject's reaction to change was measured through administration
of Rokeach's Dogmatism...
A market survey of aluminum users' purchasing
