The Development Of A Material Management Program For Hankins & Johan, Inc., R. M. Johann

Master's Theses

This research paper was conducted in an effort to develop a better material management program for Hankins and Johann, Inc. Some simple models such as the two bin system, and more sophisticated models, such as manufacturing resources planning (MRP II), were investigated. Although it became apparent that the sophisticated models were currently not necessarily applicable to the Hankins and Johann situation, the research of these models helped to uncover the primary goal of all such models: To maximize the economic use of available resources in the day to day operation of a company. To move Hankins and Johann in this …

Looking At Lupins - Lupin Management In The South Eastern Wheatbelt, W. L. Smart, M. M. Ralph, J. M. Liddle, R.. D. Ramm, C. J. Robinson, E. W. Armstrong

Grain and other field crops research reports

In the past couple of years research into lupins has increased substantially particularly in the fields of weed control, seeding rates, and control of diseases such as brown leaf spot and pleiochaeta root rot. This report is a summary of the lupin trials in the Lake Grace advisory area as well as a guide to better lupin farming.

Auditing Standards Division. Forecasts And Projections Audit Issues Task Force

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

The Forecasts and Projections Audit Issues Task Force developed this proposed statement of position (SOP) in response to questions raised by practitioners about some of the procedural and reporting guidance contained in the AICPA Guide for Prospective Financial Statements. This SOP included some of these questions and the recommended responses. Specifically, the SOP provides additional guidance in these areas: 1. Reporting on financial forecasts that include a projected sale of an entity's real estate investment; 2. Sales prices assumed in a projection of the sale of an entity's real estate investment; 3. Reporting on information accompanying a financial forecast in …

Quality Control Of An Unreliable Random Fms: With Bernoulli & Csp Sampling, Charles S. Tapiero, Lie-Fern Hsu

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper provides a set of recursive equations for computing the AOQ's (average outgoing quality) of an unreliable random FMS (flexible manufacturing system). The FMS is described using Whitt's approximation to a network of GI/G/S queues. Relationships between the operating and quality manufacturing characteristics of the FMS are found. Numerical examples are provided and the impact of outgoing quality variability on location of inspection in an FMS is discussed. This latter topic is left for further research however.

An Improved Counterexample To The Rudimentary Primal Algorithm, Robert Haas, Kamlesh Mathur, Harvey M. Salkin

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The rudimentary primal algorithm (RPA) is a simple and convenient algorithm to solve all-integer integer programs; its considerably more complex alternative is the "simplified primal algorithm" (SPA) of Young [3] and Glover [1]. The RPA has not been demonstrated to converge, however; Mathis [3] and Salkin [4] have in fact presented counterexamples for which it cycles indefinitely with period six. The counterexamples depend critically, though, on a rigid choice of the "optimal" pivot columns; Mathis' example converges if alternative columns are selected, and we observe here that Salkin's converges quickly too. The issue thus remained open whether the RPA might …

An Efficient Resource Directive Algorithm For Multicommodity Network Flow Problems, Chandrashekhar Madhukar Khot

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Resource directive algorithms for multicommodity network flow problems are decomposition schemes that work by transforming the problem into one of finding the best possible allocation of capacities to the competing commodities. The transformed problem has a piecewise linear convex master program, with single commodity network flow subproblems, which can be solved fast. Resource directive algorithms presented in the literature have attempted to exploit the convexity of the objective. However, the best resource directive algorithm available, the subgradient algorithm, remains heuristic in nature. On the other hand, optimizing algorithms are usually computationally effective variants of the revised simplex algorithm; are roughly …

A General Model And Taxonomy For Countertrade Analysis, Arnold Reisman, Gang Li, Duu-Cheng Fuh

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper discusses the countertrade transaction in general enough terms to subsume all of its known formats. It presents a general model for evaluating transactions under each of the various forms of countertrade and a schema for classifying same. Both the model and the taxonomy encompass transactions ranging from pure barter to free trade.

Design Of Agricultural Integrations: A Problem Of Coordinating Multilevel Production Optimization And Profit Distribution, Asher Tsafrir, Hovav Talpaz, Arnold Reisman

Unification Of Single Objective Mathematical Programming Problems, Gregory Pollock, Arnold Reisman

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper attempts to unify a broad, though not exhaustive, arena of mathematical programming. The approach involves the development of a general mathematical problem formulation, which is shown to reduce, in a deductive manner, to each of the major subfields of mathematical programming. Furthermore, a taxonomy is provided for classifying each of the special cases. Lastly, the premier algorithms for solving each of the cases are indicated and referenced.

Preventive Maintenance Scheduling In An M/M/1 System, Abdelaziz Araar, Henry C. Co

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper investigates the preventive maintenance scheduling problem in an M/M/1 system. The trade-off between the cost of breakdown, the cost of waiting, and the cost of maintenance are examined. A number of insightful propositions are established and the boundary conditions of the optimal frequency of maintenance analyzed.

Sequencing In Flexible Manufacturing Systems And Other Short Queue-Length Systems, Henry C. Co, T.J. Jaw, Shih-Ken Chen

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

There is a proliferation of applied probability models in the literature on flexible manufacturing systems. Many of these models make the LIFO, FIFO assumptions, but in actuality, there are a host of other sequencing rules that can be, and are applied. We investigate the impact of the sequencing rules in an effort to validate the robustness of these applied probability models.
