On The Uses Of Linear Regression Analysis In The Determination Of Continuous Utility Functions, Michael S. Salvador

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper investigates the characteristics of subjective estimation, specifically with regard to those techniques used in the measurement of utility as a function of some decision alternative. Regression analysis is applied to such bivariate estimates for the purpose of obtaining a generalized representation of the functional relationship expressed by same. Then, because of special properties of the subjective estimates themselves, certain statistics are shown to exist which simultaneously provide global measures of goodness of fit and consensus; furthermore, assuming the use of an iterative data collection process, there is also provided a measure of the rate of convergence of the …

A Study Of A Portion Of The Distributive Education Teacher Preparation Program At Utah State University, J. Grant Brough

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

The major purpose of distributive education is to prepare the student for entry-level employment in distributive occupations. This preparation should help workers become successful and advance in their chosen field of distributive occupations.

No matter how instruction is organized, when it is identified as vocational distributive education, there are no differences in the results desired. Students are to be able to meet employment qualifications with the confidence and the competencies necessary to begin marketing and management careers.

To meet this goal, the student should qualify himself to receive satisfaction and contentment in his work. Sidney P. Marland's deep expression in …

Nonlinear Optimization With Upper And Lower Bounds, Vaughn E. Huckfeldt

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Many nonlinear programming problems containing only upper and lower bounds are currently solved as unconstrained problems using transformation, or penalty methods of optimization. In this thesis it is shown that (1) Goldfarb's conjugate gradient algorithm can be simplified for NLP problems containing only upper and lower bounds, (2) the simplified algorithm requires less computer storage, and fewer multiplications per iteration with no loss in accuracy, and (3) the simplified algorithm is superior to transformation, or penalty methods when tested on published nonlinear test problems. A FORTRAN code for the nonlinear algorithm for upper and lower bounds, including complete documentation, is …

An R & D Management Game, Klaus Truemper, Burton V. Dean

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The principles of R&D project management have been combined with an existing business management game. The paper outlines the critical elements of the game, provides an analysis of results-to-date, and suggests further extensions of the game.

Application Of Operations Research In Research Planning - A Case Study, Eric C. Johnson

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In 1966 Kennecott Copper Corporation and its subsidiary, Chase Brass and Copper Company, launched a long range research effort--the Casting Laboratory-- designed to focus on the area of casting, specifically solidification and liquid metal processing. From the outset, the Casting Laboratory implemented formal activities for the identification and evaluation of research opportunities and activities so that the results could be used for long range planning of Casting Laboratory applied research programs. The author was responsible for these activities during 1967-1970. Drawing on specific activities carried out at the Casting Laboratory during the author's tenure there and activities in which he …

An Efficient One-Dimensional Search Procedure For Barrier Function, Leon S. Lasdon, Richard L. Fox, Margery W. Ratner

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Interior penalty functions are a popular approach for solving non-linear constrained optimization problems. Most current methods for minimizing such functions require a one-dimensional minimization along specified search directions, and this can be quite difficult, since the function approaches +∞ along the boundaries of the feasible set. A special purpose algorithm is described which alleviates this difficulty by using a simpler approximating function which also goes to infinity near the boundary. Numerical results are presented, showing that the number of function evaluations and computation time are reduced by factors of about three and two respectively. The ideas are easily extended to …

Mathematical Modeling Optimization And Simulation Improve Large-Scale Finished Goods Inventory Management, Michael S. Salvador, Muhittin Oral, Arnold Reisman, Burton V. Dean

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This article describes an inventory control study conducted for a large manufacturing company involving the distribution of over 7,000 line items through six major warehouses and nearly 800 authorized distributors across the U.S. The study's success, rare in systems of this scale, addressed challenges including unfamiliarity with research methods, inadequate evaluation of parameters, and lack of practical recommendations. A task force comprising operations research faculty, graduate students, and company managers collaborated to optimize inventory control while maintaining a predetermined service level. The study focused on evaluating holding, setup, and shortage costs, with a particular emphasis on shortage costs. Extensive computer …
