A Method To Improve The Sustainment Of Systems Based On Probability And Consequences, Michael Ashton Gaintner
A Method To Improve The Sustainment Of Systems Based On Probability And Consequences, Michael Ashton Gaintner
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The FROST Method is presented which improves the efficiency of long-term sustainment of hardware systems. The FROST Method makes sustainment and scheduling decisions based on the minimization of the expected value of current and future costs. This differs from current methods which tend to base decisions not on the expected value of costs, but on the expected inventory demand found through projections using data which is often inaccurate.
Distributions are used to account for randomness and inaccuracy in inputs such as failure rates and vendor-claimed dates for end of production. A Monte Carlo technique is then used to convert these …

Development Of A New Evolutionary Algorithm Based On Adaptive Echolocation Applied To A Multi Objective Version Of The Redundancy Allocation Problem, Karla Rocio Gutierrez
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
The intention of this research is to develop a new algorithm that it is mainly focus in the principle of echolocation or also called biosonar. This principle is active in many animals such as: birds, shrews, dolphins and bats, these last ones are going to be a fundamental part of our study. These animals use it as radar in order to find food, obstacles or just to locate objects.
These animals use ultrasound beams with a certain degree of angle and multiple receivers; such as the two ears that are located slightly apart, so at the time of the returning …
