(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992-01-01)During a model formulation process, the control is used to dynamically apply various strategies to the appropriate sources of knowledge for the proper parts of problem. The importance of the control aspect has been emphasized ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) requires electric utility companies with annual sales exceeding 500 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to report specific types of load research data to the Federal ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Constrained network problems arise from the addition of general linear constraints to ordinary network problems. The resulting problem loses the special structure that has allowed the development of very efficient solution ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)A model of electronic brainstorming communication structure is developed and tested. This model integrates and extends the Issue Based Information System (IBIS) and Interactive Process Analysis (IPA) theories. A computer ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)Within industry, attention is being focused on effectively managing functional integration as a source for competitive advantage. Research suggests that the level of integration between different functions is positively ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Generalization rules are a powerful and versatile tool to represent knowledge at a high level of abstraction--as opposed to conventional data base systems which use data to represent specific facts. A generalization rule ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Cellular Manufacturing (CM) is a manufacturing method that groups processes, people, and machines into workcells to produce a specific family of parts. This study concerns the very fundamental problem in designing CM ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)The use of dialectic in strategic management has been extensively debated. It was first proposed by Mason (1968), who soon after (Mason, 1969) argued its superiority over devil's advocacy and expert advice. Cosier first ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Successful decisions largely depend on correct interpretation of data. Today, our ability to collect and present data outstrips our ability to interpret it. This situation has been called "information input overload" (Miller ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Cognitive conflicts arise because the members view the problem from different perspectives, even when they have similar interests in achieving the goal. Disagreement within a group may occur due to: (a) differing judgment ...
-
The effects of problem structure and dialogue type on the performance of the man/machine interface (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)This research project is intended to provide guidance for software designers who must decide on a dialogue style for interactive problem solving support for new or infrequent users. In addition, it examines the relative ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)The ability of foreign competitors to exploit efficiencies in productive processes has stimulated reexamination of manufacturing philosophies among American producers. As a result, several U.S. organizations have successfully ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Cellular Manufacturing (CM) is an increasingly popular method of manufacturing in which machines are physically grouped together into production cells such that a family of parts is produced entirely in one cell. This ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)The multiple supplier inventory grouping problem concerns the minimization of total logistics cost for a firm that has many suppliers. Each supplier may provide multiple items, subject to capacity limitations. Logistics ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The bicriterion and singly constrained shortest path problems constitute important variations of the classical shortest path problem. In many real world applications of the shortest path problem, two "cost" parameters can ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)One of major decisions which firms must face is to determine when and how much to produce in what sequence. The existing practice is to go through stages of lot sizing, capacity planning and scheduling sequentially to ...
