Establishing Relationships Between Risk Management And Knowledge Transfer, Garrett S. Haltiwanger
Establishing Relationships Between Risk Management And Knowledge Transfer, Garrett S. Haltiwanger
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Risk management (RM) and Knowledge management (KM) have mostly been treated as separate management philosophies. Risk management is a widely taught topic in academia and is practiced in industry. Knowledge management is being taught at increasingly more colleges and many companies are discovering a need for managing knowledge. This dissertation shows that some research has been conducted to apply the principles of knowledge management in establishing risk management plans. To a lesser extent there has been research conducted to apply the philosophies of risk management to identifying knowledge gaps and maintaining corporate knowledge. Both risk management and knowledge management are …
Robust Execution Strategy For Scheduling Under Uncertainity, Na Fu
Robust Execution Strategy For Scheduling Under Uncertainity, Na Fu
Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)
Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problems with minimum and maximum time lags (RCPSP/max) provides a general model for resource scheduling in many real-world problems (such as manufacturing and construction engineering). Due to its practical importance and generality, providing effective algorithms and scalable solutions for RCPSP/max is a topic of growing research. Traditional methods have addressed deterministic models with all parameters known with certainty. In this thesis, we are concerned with RCPSP/max problems in an uncertain environment where durations of activities are stochastic and resource availabilities are subject to unforeseen breakdowns. We propose methods for generating robust execution strategy to protect against …
