A Computerized Branch And Bound Algorithm For Solving The Assembly Line Balancing Problem, Sanjeev Karande

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The objective of this research is to develop a portable computer program to compute an optimal solution for single model deterministic assembly line balancing problems via a branch and bound algorithm. The branch and bound procedure will employ the good heuristic solutions for "pruning" the resulting decision trees. Such pruning should make normally inefficient branch and bound methods both practical and efficient for a high proportion of assembly line balancing problems.

A Regionalized Goal Oriented Model For Dynamic Analysis Of World Trade, Bidhu Bhusan Mohanty

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In the present day world, the national economies are interdependent. A world trade model, designed as a two-level hierarchical system, has been developed to be used as a tool to analyze this mutual interdependence and to aid in the formulation of long-term economic policies. For practical reasons, the world has been divided into a number of regions and the goods to be traded into categories. The world market has been represented by a world pool, and each region is assumed to exchange the goods with the pool only. To determine the volume of trade, the model uses the principle of …

R&D System Planning And Technology Transfer Methods In An Industrialized Developing Country, Woo-Young Lee

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This thesis provides a framework in R&D system management consisting of computer-based analytical models for use in technology transfer and R&D planning of a developing country's military weapons systems development. The models involve integer nonlinear programming (INLP) and interactive goal programming (IGP) approaches. Also, the thesis utilizes: (1) A component sharing R&D network to identify probabilistic interdependencies among systems components and technical approaches. (2) A weapon effectiveness indices/weighted unit value (WEI/WUV) method to evaluate potential benefits of weapons systems, if funded. (3) Network planning techniques to assess probabilities of technical success and to integrate technology forecasting, technology catch-up, and time-cost …

The Association Of Individual Characteristics With Success And Failure Of U.S. Army Recruiters, Frederick David Coleman

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This study addresses the relationships between individual biographical/demographic characteristics and the prediction of success and failure of U.S. Army Recruiters. The quantitative process employed is discriminant analysis. Ten variables are studied to determine their relative importance in the classification of potential Recruiters as being successful for at least three years. Civilian education is found to be the most important and time-in-service (the number of years served in the Army) the least important. The results are formulated into a Success Prediction Algorithm (SPA), which can be included as part of the Recruiter selection process. SPA can provide an indication of an …

Historical Perspective On Net Present Value And Equivalent Annual Cost, Thomas W. Jones, J. David Smith

Accounting Historians Journal

Net present value and equivalent annual cost are two discounted cash flow criteria for comparing investment proposals. Why have accountants taken to net present value? Why do engineers readily use equivalent annual cost? This paper investigates the historical development of these principles to provide an explanation of why this is so.

Fisheries Report No 51 - 'Taiyo Maru 71" Demersal Trawling Cruise In Western Australian Coastal Waters South Of 21 S, July-September, 1979, D. I. Heald, M. H. Walker

Fisheries Research Reports

A Japanese demersal trawler, 'Taiyo Maru 771' was given special permission to conduct exploratory trawling in the period 73.7.79-16.9.79 off the Western Australian coast between 21°S Latitude and 35°30'S Latitude, an area which partly overlapped the fishing grounds for the western rock Lobster. The vessel was required to complete a catch, fishing effort and species composition log book issued by the Commonweath Department of Primary Industry. Two Western Australian Department of Fisheries and Wildlife observers on board monitored fishing operations for the entire duration of the cause and undertook research.

Details of each trawl conducted are given and discussed. Catch …

Final Examinations Of The Institute Of Chartered Accountants In England And Wales, 1882-1981, John Freear

Accounting Historians Journal

Abstract: This study considers the final examinations of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, from 1882-1981. Discussion of the likely purposes of the examinations, and of possible ways of assessing their efficiency, is followed by a review of the final examination structures from 1882 onwards. Finally, material on the achieved pass rates is presented. The structural changes illustrate some shift in emphasis from bookkeeping and law towards managerial accounting and economics, taxation, and systems and data processing. Pass rates have declined from around 60 percent to around 40 percent over the period, though not evenly.

Hartshorne teaches history at Cleveland State University.
