Dynamic Programming And Fuzzy Allocation Processes, Augustine O. Esogbue, Vengalathur Ramesh

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The modeling and computational aspects of certain allocation processes are studied through a new concept in systems theory --- fuzzy decision making. The use of these concepts will generally provide models of better proximity to the systems modelled than the traditional deterministic and stochastic approaches. Some concepts of fuzzy systems theory are first introduced. Fuzzy dynamic programming models with their corresponding flow charts are then provided for an allocation problem arising in R&D systems. The computational problems in fuzzy algorithms are discussed. An extensive bibliography on fuzzy decision theory is included.

A Special Linear Program, R. Chandrasekaran

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This study addresses an optimization problem within a water resources system, focusing on the allocation of firm power. Demands for power occur in fixed ratios throughout the year, with total annual demand being substantial. The challenge lies in determining the total amount of power to supply for the year while ensuring it is distributed proportionally across months. At the beginning of a contractual period, a utility company must be promised a specified amount of power, delivered according to seasonal ratios (e.g., higher demand in winter). This paper formulates the problem in detail, providing a framework for optimizing the allocation of …

A Pseudo Dual All-Integer Algorithm For The Set Covering Problem, Harvey M. Salkin, Ronald D. Koncal

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

A modified linear programming method for the inequality or equality set covering problem (i.e., minimize cx subject to Ex ≥ b or Ex = b, where E is a zero-one matrix, b is a column of ones, and c is a nonnegative integral row) is presented. The "almost unimodular" property of the (zero-one) constraint matrix suggested an algorithm in which one performs (dual) simplex interactions whenever unit pivots are available and adjoin Gomory all-integer cuts when they are not. Finiteness, time reducing criteria, the elimination of roundoff errors, and applications to enumerative schemes are discussed. Preliminary computational experience, being very …

Some Considerations Of A Queueing Model For Research And Development Project Flow, S. Subba Rao

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The purpose of the present note is to consider the stochastic flow of projects in a Research and Development Organization. The flow of projects can be modeled as a stochastic network of queues. But the questions as to the details remain to be answered apart from the difficult and important question of how to analyze such systems. One has to concede that in the simplest case of time-homogeneous Poisson inputs exponential services and unlimited waiting space in between stations, the problem is solvable. But any relaxation of these conditions leads to new difficulties. Some of the problems raised in this …

On The Evaluation Of Shortage Costs For Inventory Control, Muhittin Oral, Michael S. Salvador, Arnold Reisman, Burton V. Dean

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper summarizes work performed in evaluating shortage costs associated with stockouts for each of a manufacturer's seven thousand catalogued line items. A modified version of a decision tree model proposed by Yu Chang is employed in a determination of estimated unit shortage costs for a stratified random sample of items. The results are then extended to all items on the basis of an excellent correlation between the evaluated unit shortage costs and unit gross profits of the items in the sample.

Optimal Location Of A Single Service Center Of Certain Types, K.P. K. Nair

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Considering communities to be interconnected by road network, Hakimi provided a graph theoretic method for finding the optimal location of a single service center, such as hospital or police station, minimizing largest distance from the service center. The same problem is considered in this paper when the region to be served is represented by a convex polygon with finite number of corner points and the distance between any pair of points in the polygon is taken to be the straight path between the two points. This problem is shown to be exact in certain cases though in some other cases …

The Psychological Needs Of Hospital Dietary Supportive Personnel, Ralph Morales Jr.

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Achieving objectives in hospital food service systems is made more critical by the increasing rate of labor turnover. One of the major emphases that seems to offer promise for solving certain current manpower problems is a better understanding of the factors which may contribute to turnover. A quantitative approach to the identification of human needs in the work environment should provide information relevant to more effective planning and utilization of human resources.

The purpose of this research was to determine if by examining the psychological needs of hospital dietary supportive personnel, information could be derived for more objective management of …

Non Iterative Algorithm Form Solving Special Types Of Transportation Problems, Benjamin Lev

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Many transportation problems are such that, when origins and destinations are suitably indexed, the cost matrix contains elements along the main diagonal, a band above it, and a band below it, while the other elements of the cost matrix are infinite. A procedure has been developed which yields optimal solution to such tridiagonal problems in n steps for a n-origin, n-destination problem. A second model has been solved for a tridiagonal and a coupling column of the cost matrix. A third model, a four-diagonal one, has been partially solved. We suggested and showed a method to solve any other model …

Labor Time Analysis By Work Function Activity In Production Of Vegetarian Entrees, Maynard W. Lebrun

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The specific objectives of this research were to (1) develop a method for determining labor time and labor cost of cooks by work functions in the production of selected vegetarian entrees, and (2) determine the percentage relationship of cooks' labor to food cost in selected classifications of entrees.

Application of the continuous time study methodology as developed in this research was restricted to the observation of entree cooks in a 408 bed non-profit university hospital. Observation of work function activities during the first week of a four week cycle menu for three consecutive cycles was classified under three major categories: …

Investment Decisions Under Conditions Of Inflation: An Extension Of Theory, Arnold Reisman, Juri Pill

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper extends existing quantitative methods for the economic evaluation of alternative investment proposals to the area of decision-making under conditions of non-negligible inflation. It includes a rigorous and consistent set of definitions and a generalized model which may be used in decisions involving several countries with different rates of inflation.

On The Resource Allocation Problem With S-Shaped Utility Functions, Fabio M. Vicentini

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

A given amount "a" of a resource is allocated among n activities. A return Fi(xi) is obtained as a result of using xi units of the resource in activity "i". The problem is to find an allocation which maximizes the total return, that is, max Σ Fi(xi) s.t. Σ xi = a, xi ≥ 0 . In this paper we examine this well known problem under the assumption that the Fi's are "s-shaped" functions. In an economic context this assumption means that small allocations lead to essentially zero returns while large ones have a saturation effect, the "law of diminishing …

Stochastic Variations Of Commonly Used Discounted Cash Flow Formulae, Arnold Reisman, Arza K. Rao

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper addresses challenges in applying discounted cash flow analysis as presented in standard texts on Engineering Economy, Capital Allocation Theory, Finance, Managerial Economics, and Economic Analysis. While traditional research texts assume deterministic values for independent variables and parameters, real-world applications often face uncertainty in determining these values. The paper proposes stochastic formulations to account for such uncertainty, detailing equations for various combinations and permutations of distributions. The findings aim to bridge the gap between theoretical models and the complexities of real-world financial decision-making.
