Some Aspects Of Queueing Theory And Its Applications, U. Narayan Bhat

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper examines the state of queueing theory research, inspired by Saaty’s 1966 critique of the field’s lack of practical application despite substantial theoretical advancements. Acknowledging the limited progression in applied queueing solutions since Morse’s foundational work in 1958, the discussion attributes this gap to insufficient communication between theoretical researchers and applied scientists. The study organizes its review into three critical problem areas: behavioral, statistical, and optimization aspects of queueing systems. Each area is explored with historical context, highlighting trends, contributions, and deficiencies in the literature. Exceptions where optimization and simulation approaches have advanced practical applications are noted. The paper …

An Inventory Problem With Obsolescence, William P. Pierskalla

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

A stochastic single product convex cost inventory problem is considered in which there is a probability, πj, that the product will become obsolete in the future period j. In an interesting paper Barankin and Denny essentially formulate the model but do not describe some of its interesting and relevant ramifications. This paper is written not only to bring out some of these ramifications but also to describe some computational results using this model. The computational results show that if obsolescence is a distinct possibility in the near future, it is quite important that the probabilities of obsolescence be incorporated into …

The Multidimensional Assignment Problem, William P. Pierskalla

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The multidimensional assignment problem is a higher dimensional version of the standard (two-dimensional) assignment problem in the literature. The higher dimensions can be thought of as time or space dimensions or both. An algorithm is proposed for the solution of the multi-index assignment problem. The algorithm is based on a tree search technique of the branch-and-bound variety. It uses dual subproblems to provide easily computed bounds for the primal assignment problem.

The Emerging Importance Of Mental Health Programs In Industry And The Implications Of Related Legislative Action, Jack D. Rex

Anderson School of Management Theses & Dissertations

At the close of the nineteenth century, the accepted common law defenses of Contributory Negligence, Assumption of Risk, and Negligent Acts of Fellow Servants were interpreted by the courts as being too harsh on the claims of inured workers. As a consequence, the principle of common law declaring the employer responsible for the injury or death of employees resulting form a negligent act on his part became the accepted recourse. By 1910, many state legislatures had adopted the principle that employees do not assume the risk of their employment, thus setting the stage for the enactment of Workmen’s Compensation laws …

An Annotated Bibliography On The Management Of Research And Development, Jon L. Bushnell, Chandrasekhar Das, Alfred R. Michenzi, Allan L. Service

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The Bibliography was prepared as a part of the Case Western Reserve University Program of Research on Research Management. The Program is a joint effort of the School of Management and the Division of Special Interdisciplinary Studies and is supported by the Department of Defense as a part of Project Themis. In this work, emphasis has been placed on currently useful methods of R & D management, particularly cost-effectiveness and systems analysis. Other methods have also been considered, but the Bibliography is not designed to be comprehensive. It was decided, however, that since the Program is a continuing one, a …

Analysis Of A Multistage Inventory Task -- Comments On A Paper Of Amnon Rapoport, William P. Pierskalla

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In an interesting paper in Behavioral Science, Volume 12 (1967) Professor Amnon Rapoport reported on his tests of the dynamic decision making capabilities of a group of students. He found that the students did not perform well relative to the normative results predicted by two quantitative inventory models he had chosen. It is the purpose of this paper to point out that the wrong normative models were chosen and that if the appropriate inventory model is picked, the students actually performed reasonably well.

Optimality Of Full-Funding Strategies In R & D Allocation Problems, T. S. Chidambaram

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

$C is to be allocated among n "approaches" such that the expected probability of successful completion of at least one of the n approaches is maximized. The ith approach involves a cost ci which is a random variable with probability density function $\i_ and has a probability P_i(c_i) of success. Faced with this uncertainty in cost, the R & D manager can either: a) Choose a large number of approaches to support but allocate to them small amount of money or b) Choose a small number of approaches to support but allocate to them large amount of money. This allocation …

West Midlands Development : Sources Of Credit For Farmers, J T. Stoate

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

RAPIDLY increasing costs associated with land development and farm improvement have placed heavy financial burdens on farmers.

At the very least such burdens must often slow the rate of development, increase family hardship and lower farm profitability.

Many farmers however, are unaware of the sources of loan money which could help them overcome their problems.

This article outlines some of the credit sources available.
