(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The problem addressed in this research is the project scheduling problem. Two types of solution methodologies commonly discussed in the literature are optimization procedures and heuristic ranking procedures. Optimization ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)The major objective of this research is the development of attribute acceptance sampling plans involving a dependency on historical results in the decision to accept or reject inspection sampling lots. Two dependent stage ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1971)This research is concerned with attribute sampling inspection procedures in which the decision criterion for each lot dictates one of three dispositions; (1) accept the lot, (2) reject the lot, or (3) conditionally accept ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)An interactive microcomputer-based system which provides economic analysis support through Life cycle costing for the design, development and implementation of manufacturing systems has been designed and a prototype ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)The primary objective of this research is the development of a series of computer simulation models which will demonstrate the feasibility of using simulation techniques to assist management in strategic planning. The ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)This research investigates the use of a multidimensional range statistic as a tool to make statistical decisions concerning the variability of a process. Transformations were developed to permit the joint distribution of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)The primary objective of this research is to provide a user-oriented computer language for multistage optimization. While multistage optimization problems may assume many diversified forms in many areas of application, a ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)The problem of monitoring sheet material manufacturing processes such as plastic film, paper web, aluminum foil, sheet metal and flat glass for anomalies is considered in this research. The objective of this research is ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)In response to ever increasing global competition, American manufacturers are turning to a wide range of options based on technical, organizational and employee involvement (EI) initiatives. The concept of Just in Time ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1973)A model is developed to apply economic aspects of present worth to the process of evaluating and selecting large systems in state government. This effort is comprised of two distinct activities one is theory and the other ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The appropriateness of independence assumptions in queueing theory should be doubted at least in applications such as modem manufacturing or telecommunication systems. Simplifying independence assumptions may lead to a ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)The primary objective of this research is to provide an analytical solution to the problem of optimizing the transition of cannibalized systems under end transients, considering systems with multiple units, each having ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)This dissertation reports on the effects of two levels of increased ambient temperature on the performance of a tracking task and a variety of secondary mental tasks. Eighteen males, ages 18 - 29, were exposed to wet bulb ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)A complex machine scheduling problem is studied in this research. It is formulated using the traditional integer programming (IP) technique. However, this formulation appears computationally intractable when the problem ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)This research provides a model for the simulation of emergency medical systems. The model is a discrete-event type digital simulation utilizing the GASP Programming Language. Emergency incidents are input through an exogenous ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)This study examines the effects of four keyboard designs, including a horizontally split keyboard (Kinesis), a vertically oriented keyboard (Comfort), a keyboard with a contoured wrist rest (Wave), and a traditional IBM ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)The primary purpose of this research was to investigate the role of lead inclusions in leaded brass or free-machining brass on chip temperatures, cutting force, feed force and deformed chip thickness. The experiment was ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)In this dissertation, the problem of optimizing a nonlinear objective function subject to linear and/or nonlinear constraints is considered. When the constraints are nonlinear, it is particularly advantageous to transform ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Application of computer technology has greatly increased the manager's ability to make informed decisions about inanimate resources (e.g., money, materials, equipment, space and time). However, very little has been done ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1971)It was determined from this research that human manual dynamic performance, push, and pull can be predicted from s ta tic strength and anthropometric data. Forty right-handed male college students between 18 and 35 years ...
