Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Whenever customers must queue for a service, waiting time and server utilization problems can result . In a labor intensive industry, the healthcare industry, these problems and their solution are important for they can effect a patient's welfare. A computer simulation model of an actual outpatient clinic function was developed to assist hospital management in developing selection parameters which are used to prioritize scheduled customers (based on their arrival time) and their service so as to reduce the waiting time of on-time customers. The model is an event-oriented simulator with scheduled and unscheduled arrivals. Scheduled arrivals are classified early, an-time, …

Sheep Mulesing And Animal Lib, Nancy Heneson

International Journal for the Study of Animal Problems

The practice of mulesing sheep to prevent blowfly strike has recently come under fire from the Animal Liberation movement in Australia. Although it is only one of the many issues which Animal Lib has raised in its campaign to reform various sectors of the livestock industry, it is particularly illustrative of the kinds of conflicts in world view which arise when animal rights activists turn the spotlight on the farming establishment. Spokesmen for the livestock industries are quick to stress the emotional and sometimes sensational portrayal by Animal Libbers of time-honored animal management practices, as well as the sinister role …

Mechanical, Electrical And Anesthetic Stunning Methods For Livestock, Temple Grandin

International Journal for the Study of Animal Problems

A good stunning method must render an animal unable to experience pain and sensation prior to hoisting and slaughter. The three basic types of stunning methods which are classified as being humane (i.e., pain less) in the United States, Europe and other foreign countries are captive bolt (penetrating and nonpenetrating), electrical, and CO₂ (carbon dioxide) gas anesthesia.

The physiological mechanisms of stress are the same before and after the onset of unconsciousness. The release of epinephrine as a result of stress inducers has an effect on the quality of the meat and it is therefore desirable to use a …

Book Review: Dimensions In Urban History: Historical And Social Science Perspectives On Middle-Size American Cities By J. Rogers Hollingsworth And Ellen Jane Hollingsworth, Roger F. Riefler

College of Business: Faculty Publications

The urbanization-city development process in American history has been the focus of numerous scholarly investigations. Economic historians in particular, bringing the perspective and methods of economics to bear, have made significant contributions to this burgeoning literature. In Dimensions in Urban History the Hollingsworths propose a broader, more ambitious undertaking: the application of the wide panopoly of social science concepts and theory to understand better the historical process of urban development. As such this book lays claim to a wide potential readership.

The text is divided into a brief introduction and four chapters. The introduction and first chapter form the core …

Designs And Specifications For Livestock Handling Equipment In Slaughter Plants, Temple Grandin

International Journal for the Study of Animal Problems

Properly designed, maintained and operated livestock handling facilities are more humane and more efficient in ensuring a steady uninterrupted flow of livestock to the slaughter line, and will usually pay for themselves by reducing bruises, injuries and lost work time. Down time or lost work time in a large slaughter plant is expensive since a five minute delay can cost over $500 in lost meat production. Another benefit of good systems is increased safety for the employees; many serious accidents have occurred when agitated cattle turn and trample a handler.

Although specific recommendations vary for different species, certain general principles …

A Survey Of Selected Employers And Placement Counselors To Determine Sociocultural Factors In The Work Adjustment Of Navajo Students In Box Elder County, Utah, Dolores M. Keller

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The primary goal of vocational education is to prepare the student to successfully enter the world of work. While the present educational structure seems to work well for most Anglo-American students, there is evidence that the system is not effective with minority students. For example , in the case of Navajo students in government-sponsored technical schools, the dropout rate (60 percent) suggests that for Native American students there are serious problems in the educational process which need to be investigated and understood.

Because of the sharply different cultural background of the Navajo student a formidable barrier frequently exists between student …

Multi-Echelon Inventory System In Health-Care Delivery Organizations, Shahriar Javad

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

It is the aim of this work to develop optimal decision rules for consumable supplies' inventory control policies for multi-facility, multi-department Health-Care Delivery Organizations. Analytical techniques of operations research have been widely used in industrial inventory control. Health-care inventory control can benefit from this knowledge. The analogies, however, are not perfect and their limits must be recognized. The theory must be enriched by considerations specific to the health-care industry. Therefore, the optimum policies must respond to: (1) The realities of a multi-echelon inventory system; (2) The urgency requirements of a health-care delivery system. The relevant literature corresponding to the aforementioned …
