The Multi-Dimensional Assignment And Quadratic Assignment Problems, William P. Pierskalla

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The multi-dimensional assignment problem is a higher dimensional version of the standard (two-dimensional) assignment problem in the literature. The higher dimensions can be though of as time or space dimensions or both. An algorithm is proposed for the solution of the multi-index assignment problem. The algorithm is based on a tree search technique of the branch and bound variety. It uses dual subproblems to provide easily computed bounds for the primal assignment problem. The same algorithm with appropriate modifications is used to find an optimal solution to the multi-dimensional quadratic assignment problem.

Ladder Variables In Queueing Theory, N.U. Prabhu

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In the present survey, we follow the treatment given by Feller (1966). In Sections 2 and 3, we develop the basic results concerning the ladder processes arising from a general one-dimensional random walk. In Section 4, we apply these results to the waiting time in a single-server queue, with details worked out for the two cases where (i) the arrivals are Poisson, and (ii) service times are exponentially distributed. In Section 5, these two systems are again considered, and the concepts of Sections 2 and 3 are used to investigate the number of customers present in each system at certain …

Tax Reform: 1966-67, Research Department

Economic and Financial Review

This article examines tax reforms in Nigeria which was undertaken to restructure indirect and direct (individual and company). The article observed that the reform was undertaken because of the low current revenue which led to a shortfall in the calendar year budget equivalent of £178.8 million by 10.8 per cent. The drop in revenue was caused by a fall in demand for dutiable imports. Although current revenue fell, current expenditure rose by 13.0 per cent to £88.6 million, due mainly to a rise of about 67 per cent in public debt servicing and unplanned expenditures related to the political situation …

Long Range Corporate Planning Model For Major Capital Investments, William G. Lesso

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

A model of major capital investments is developed for a firm with several existing production facilities and a number of alternatives for investment in new facilities. The model extends previous capital investment models by using discounted after tax earnings as the objective function, by determining the benefits of an alternative through optimum allocation of demand among facilities for each period and by permitting the use of retained earnings and borrowings (which are limited by past investments and earnings). The algorithm provides an optimal solution for much larger problems than could be handled with present day computer equipment using non-linear integer …

On A Basic Research Cost Effectiveness - Resource Allocation Model, Burton V. Dean, Samuel J. Mantel Jr.

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper develops a preliminary model for use in allocating funds for mission oriented basic research in a government agency. Three submodels are developed - (1) a cost model for estimating the costs of basic research tasks, (2) a linkage model for relating the performance of basic research and subsequent utilization of basic research results in systems and component development, and (3) a value model for estimating the effectiveness of basic research tasks. A cost-effectiveness relationship is developed for use in relating the cost and benefits of basic research programs and tasks. Research allocation models are developed for use under …

A Management Control System For Estimating Research And Development Manpower Requirements, Burton V. Dean, Stuart H. Mann, Burton D. Corwin

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The problem of estimating research manpower requirements is viewed as a flow of funds model. The transitional flow of funds from the operating divisions to the research cost centers is modelled using transfer coefficients that are determined from a statistical analysis of historical data. Transfer coefficients are multiplied by estimated predictions in planned divisional research budgets to yield estimated expenditures in specific research areas. The transfer coefficient model is tested and implementation procedures are presented.

Survey Of The Use Of Consumer Credit By Members Of The Utah State University Staff, Neelkantha Manohar Kibe

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A study was made of the use of credit by a randomly selected sample of the Utah State University staff personnel during 1964 and 1965. The information was obtained by means of a questionnaire.

The major objective of the study was to examine the relationship between income and consumer debt with specific reference to reasons underlying the demand for consumer credit, the relationships between amount of consumer credit and variables such as family income, family size, age of family head and amount of liquid assets, and the nature of the demand function for consumer credit.

Analysis of the information supplied …

The Development Of A Sound Filmstrip Entitled Office Occupations In Utah, Richard Lynn Burbidge

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

A 1965 status study of vocational Education in Utah sought the opinions of state educators and the genera l citizenry. Two major conclusions from that study follow:

The present day school system is not adequately meeting the needs of young people. It serves well the 20 percent who may complete college and some others, but it is woefully short of meeting the needs of nearly 80 percent of the young people of this country. This conclusion is supported by the responses of school directors throughout the country, school district superintendents in Utah, and the school board members and parents in …

A Suggested Integrated Course Of Study For A Secretarial Studies Program At Bonneville High School, Brenda A. Wilde

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

Speeches are given and articles are written about the changing dimensions of the world of work. As knowledge increases and improvements are made in the field of business, jobs vary accordingly. Since change is inevitable and desirable, business education courses need to prepare students for tomorrow.

Rose states that:

Business education subject matter is neither static nor parochial . Electronics have accelerated the world's business and is creating a near revolution in our vocational business education classroom.

This near revolution mentioned by Rowe has caused me to ask, "Are my students going out into the business world knowing what is …

Inventory Of Economic Understanding Of Sky View High School Graduates, 1966, J. Karl Worthington

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

All societies are faced with the problems of what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce goods and services. To each of the many facets of each of these questions are many alternatives. The different economic systems in the world allow different segments or parts of the system's population to select the answers to economic questions from the alternatives to the economic questions all systems face. The quality of the decisions made is of vital importance to the progress of the particular economic system.

Evaluation Of Common Stock Warrants As An Investment, Arthur J. Bailey

Theses and Dissertations

The common stock warrant, a security traded on most stock exchanges, is little known to the investing public. This is an evaluation of the common stock warrant as an investment. This study briefly describes corporate securities and the role of the common stock warrant. The reasons corporations issue common stock warrants, as well as stocks and bonds, are appraised.

The reservations and restrictions, applicable to common stock warrants, by the Securities and Exchange Commission are considered. The study discusses how each common stock warrant issue confers upon the holder the privilege of exchanging them for the common stock of a …

An Introductory Survey Of Integer Linear Programming, Milton E.F. Schoeman

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Researchers have concentrated great effort in recent years in the area of integer linear programming. This survey paper is intended as an introduction to some of this work with emphasis on its application to the project selection problem. The techniques outlined may be classified into three groups: (1) cutting plane methods; (2) partial enumerative or combinatoric methods; (3) efficient (suboptimal) heuristic methods. General descriptions of methods in each of these classifications are given along with an indication of their relative computational efficiency. Finally, some insight is given towards the future direction of efforts in this area, which would also provide …

Project Selection Under Cost And Payoff Value Uncertainties, Burton V. Dean, T.S. Chidambaram, R.R. Palanki

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper considers a stochastic version of the project selection model (Model T in Dean and Hauser, "Advanced Material Systems Planning", IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, March 1967), where $C has to be allocated among n technical approaches so that the probability of at least one approach being successfully completed is maximized. The cost of the ith approach, ci, is a random variable with distribution function, while the probability of success is, in general, a function P^(ct) of the cost. A dynamic programming formulation has been given to solve this problem assuming that the budget allocated to one approach cannot …
