All-Integer Integer Programming Algorithms Applied To Tableaux With Rational Coefficients, Harvey M. Salkin, Shailesh J. Mehta, Pradip H. Shroff

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

It is shown that an initial all integer tableau is not necessary to the convergence of primal all-integer integer programming algorithms. It is well known that an analogous result holds for Gomory's dual all integer method, where only the cost row is required to be integer. We also show that the cost row need not be integer for the convergence of Gomory's dual all integer method.

Service Time Partitioning To Minimize Mean Flow Time, R. Chandrasekaran, Hamilton Emmons, S. Subba Rao

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This study investigates strategies for managing variable patient arrival rates in hospital outpatient clinics, particularly during peak times when waiting rooms overflow. A potential solution, inspired by scheduling theory, is partitioning patients by service time, with a focus on minimizing mean flow time (the total wait and service time). Using a stochastic scheduling model, the study explores a "quick service counter" approach where customers with shorter processing times are served by dedicated servers, preserving seniority to ensure fairness. Service times are assumed observable in advance, as in scenarios like supermarket checkout or preliminary hospital screening. The model simplifies complex queueing …

Heavy Traffic Analysis For Discrete Time Queues, S. Subba Rao

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

We say that a queue is in heavy traffic if the traffic intensity p is very close to unity. Heavy traffic studies of M/G/1 and G/G/1 are fairly well known when the arrival and service time distributions are continuous. The behavior of discrete time queues in heavy traffic which seems to have not been treated earlier, is the subject of this report.

Improved Delivery Of Library Materials: The Cleveland Experience, J.P. Herling, M.G. Fancher Beeler, Arnold Reisman, Burton V. Dean

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper describes a project designed to improve services to library users by solving, through the application of operations research methods, a complex problem of delivery of library materials in an urban, multi-system library service region. Unique features, methodology, results and limitations are discussed in non-technical language.

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This report discusses the progress to date of the initial phase of the obstetrical anesthesia manpower planning study in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, being performed under the sponsorship of the Maternal and Child Health Service, Health Services and Mental Health Administration, Department of Health, Education and Welfare. This study is organized into five major sections. First, the organization of the problem and of the research team is described, the steps employed during this phase to achieve the project's objectives are listed, the scope of the information base is defined, and the relevant literature is discussed. Second, definitions of the types of …

New Tools For Decision Making, Arnold Reisman, Robert Reich

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The complex nature of certain problems encountered in industry, government, and private institutions has produced a demand for procedures to aid management in improving the decision-making process. These procedures should weigh the relative trade-offs between alternatives and produce a course of action that will benefit the organization as a whole and not simply a unit thereof at the possible expense of other units. The development, during the last quarter of a century, of certain mathematical and/or statistical techniques along with the computational and data bank capabilities of present-day computers has further demonstrated the applicability of "NEW TOOLS FOR DECISION MAKING" …

The Effect Of A Training Program On Job Satisfaction Among Hospital Dietary Supportive Personnel, Alice E. Calkins

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Steadily rising labor costs are forcing health-care institutions to give increased attention to meeting manpower needs. Dietary service management is recognizing the need for employees to be satisfied with their work, as well as the difficulty of providing adequate training for each employee. A study of the effect of a training program on job satisfaction should provide information relevant to more effective planning for the training and development of human resources within the hospital dietary service.

The purpose of this research was to determine the level of job satisfaction among hospital dietary supportive personnel; relate it to such factors as …

S.I.M.O.N. : Stochastic Inventory Model Of Newsboy, Ronald E. Mitchell, Jr.

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper examines a stochastic inventory model, commonly referred to as the "newsboy problem," which addresses inventory management for perishable or short-lived goods. The model considers several key characteristics, including single-unit purchases and sales, instantaneous order receipt, short product lifespan, the inability to fulfill late orders, and fixed holding and setup costs irrespective of quantity. Salvaging unsold goods at the end of the period is also a factor. The paper presents single-period, two-period, and multiperiod models, each accompanied by examples and guidance on leveraging a computer program for calculations. The proposed system, SIMON (Stochastic Inventory Model of Newsboy), provides computational …

Order-Preserving Allocation Of Jobs To Two Machines, Shailesh J. Mehta, R. Chandrasekaran, Hamilton Emmons

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing the mean flow time of jobs to be processed on two machines. The jobs have a predetermined order, perhaps reflecting the order of arrival, and each job has a known processing time. We wish to assign the jobs to machines so as to minimize the mean flow time, with the constraint that the original order must be preserved within the subset of jobs assigned to each machine. An efficient algorithm based on dynamic programming is developed.
