The Relative Importance Of Competencies Needed By Industrial Energy Managers From The Larger Manufacturers In Iowa, Timothy J. Eibes

Graduate Research Papers

The importance of identifying the competencies needed by energy managers is reflected in the seriousness of the energy problem and the impact it has on the industrial setting. The newness and ambiguity of EM, coupled with the increasing importance of the concept, add to the need for identifying the necessary competencies required in managing energy.

Ideally, once these competencies are identified, they should be the focus of those educational curriculums designed to produce energy managers. Currently there are only 25 post-high school institutions in the U.S. that have energy management curriculums (The College Blue Book, 1981). Less than half of …

Integration Of Social Indicators Into Holistic Geobased Models, F. Gregory Hayden

College of Business: Faculty Publications

The current need in social indicator modeling is a general framework for socio-environmental inquiry. This is consistent with John Dewey's advice on social measurement given more than forty years ago. This article will follow Marcus Felson's advice to develop socio-environmental accounts based on "map, clock, and calendar."' This can be accomplished by combining the social fabric matrix with temporal sequencing and geobased data systems.

Designing Cost Effective Pump Suction Systems Using Statistical Correlation Techniques To Estimate Vessel Elevation Costs, Neil J. Bernstein

Theses

In order to minimize total costs (investment plus operating costs) when elevating process equipment to meet hydraulic requirements, it is essential to establish cost effective and energy efficient pump suction systems. During the early stages of design of such systems it is most critical that preliminary costs be determined in a timely manner to avoid job delays. One method of accomplishing this is through the use of a cost estimating relationship for defining the price behavior of alternative pump suction systems. This thesis describes the procedure used to develop a mathematical model to predict the cost of elevating vertical drums. …

Forecasting Construction Product Demand, Robert Singerline

Theses

This is a synopsis of practical and theoretical methods used in forecasting construction product manufacturers' product demand. The practical methodology was accumulated by the author while working as a consultant for the Dodge Construction Information Division of McGraw-Hill. The objective is to review and update the various methods of forecasting with illustrations of current practices that are being used to forecast building product demand. The resulting work will help management in the planning process.

An Application Of Personal Microcomputer To Solve Mid-Sized Goal Programming Problems, Chanhon Joe Lu

Theses

This thesis develops a microcomputer software to solve mid-sized goal programming problems utilizing the revised simplex method.

Goal programming is an extension of linear programming, but is more powerful and flexible than linear programming because of its capability in handling problems with multiple conflicting objectives, instead of dealing with "one dimensional" objective - profit maximization or cost minimization. Accordingly, goal programming is very useful to the complex organizational environments.

With the help of rapid and accurate computation of digital computers, solving a complex program is not a difficult task at all. However, some medium-sized companies cannot afford a mainframe -computer, …

Organizing To Manage Future Information Technologies, John Patrick Paczkowski

Theses

The area of information technology has undergone dramatic changes over the past ten years, and the rate of change is expected to continue to accelerate through the 1980's and beyond. The newly developing information systems are providing organizations with numerous options for enhancing the quality of managerial decision making, speeding communications and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of administrative/office processes. Unfortnately, many organizations are discovering that they are unable to effectively assimilate and utilize the technology effectively. Chief executives are finding that the traditional structures for managing Data Processing, Telecommunications, and office systems are often fragmented, lack the technical expertise …

The Effect Of The Endangered Species Act Of 1973, Robert Palmer Yankle Ii

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

Scrimshaw, as an art form, had just recently risen a few notches above the state of obscurity. There are still millions of Americans who probably know nothing about it. Inextricably linked with the whaling industry for years, the scrimshaw industry has recently undergone a remarkable transition. When whaling ended in the United States, scrimshaw moved ashore and some people found out that there was a great deal of money to be made in the scrimshaw business. but with the passage of the Marine Mammals Protection Act in 1973, scrimshanders found themselves being tightly regulated by the Federal government. This paper …

Principles For Evaluating And Selection Of Alternative Systems, Chung-Ung Lee

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) problem arises in the selection of the most appropriate alternative from a set of very complex alternatives, such as, plans, projects, actions, tactics, strategies, products, etc. MADM methods are based on the multi-dimensionality of decision attributes. The significant advantage of the MADM method is that they avoid the rather arbitrary transformation of decision attribute values into unique monetary units. Moreover, these methods are capable of taking into account intangible attributes. But MADM methods may suffer from the degree of uncertainty, both in decision attribute values and in the weighting vector. The existence of many …

Functional Approximation Approach To Multistate Control Problems, Prasert Shusang

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

An iterative method for solving multistate dynamic control problems is presented. The algorithm differs from most decomposition methods currently used in the deterministic optimization of control systems. The method is described as a functional approximation of the recursive equation in dynamic programming. The basic concept is directly dependent on the Sensitivity Theorem in nonlinear programming. The method, referred to as Functional Approximation approach to multistate Control Problem (FACP) is shown to be efficient in case study for operation of multireservoir system. It results in a marked reduction in computer storage and thus directly increases the power of multistate dynamic programming …

Paired Comparisons And Personal Compensation: A Computer-Aided Approach, H. D. Simpkin

Theses

H.D. Simpkin's Paired Comparisons and Personnel Compensation: A Computer-Aided Approach explores the use of the paired comparison method in employee performance evaluation and salary determination. The study examines the challenges human resource managers face in linking salary increases with performance assessments, emphasizing the limitations of traditional ranking and rating systems. The paired comparison method, which systematically compares employees against each other in pairs, is proposed as a more reliable and objective alternative.

The thesis details a study conducted with laboratory technicians, where supervisors used both conventional ranking methods and a computerized paired comparison system. Statistical analysis demonstrated a high correlation …
