Discretionary Priority Processes, Maximilian Etschmaier

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Single server queuing systems are considered where two populations with different priority indices emanate from infinite sources and request service. The service times are independent random variables drawn from two different distributions. The actual service time requirement is only known upon completion of the service. The discipline followed is such that a low priority customer is preempted upon arrival of a high priority customer only if the elapsed service time is less than z. If the elapsed service time is more than z, the high priority customer waits until the completion of the service. Optimal values of z are obtained …

Inventory Control Of A Multiproduct System With Interacting Procurement Cost, B. D. Sivazlian

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The characteristics of a multiproduct, multiwarehouse periodic review inventory system in which interdependency between commodities and/or warehouses is introduced through set-up costs, are investigated for probabilistic demand. For a two-commodity system, the one and two period problems are analyzed. By specifying the structure of the inventory policy, the statistical properties of the system can be studied and optimal decision rules arrived at. For the stationary problem, the fundamental equation dealt with is similar to the basic renewal equation, though one is dealing rather with vector random variables. Concepts in mapping, differential and variational calculus are used in working out the …

Sales And Restocking Policies In A Single Item Inventory System, Richard V. Evans

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

A single product inventory system with linear costs is considered when customers are of two different types. Penalty costs for lost sales differ for the two types of customers and, therefore, optimal system control requires different shortage probabilities for the two classes. In one case, high penalty customers independently arrive while at the other extreme it is assumed that there is only one such customer. Single critical number policies are optimal in the simple situations. If the priority type customers become active and register displeasure by changing their demand pattern when their demands are not satisfied, simple convexity or Polya …

An Algol Program To Solve The Linear Programming Problem : Using The Revised Simplex Method, Bruce A. Powell

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

An Algol computer. program to solve the linear programming problem is given. The program is based upon an updated version of the Algol procedure of Clasen and has been run on the Case-Univac 1107 computer. The program has been found to be efficient on a large number of problems.

Minnesota General Management Simulation Model, John M. Braasch

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper presents the basic, underlying mathematical model of the Minnesota General Management Simulation. The paper, "Minnesota General Management Simulation," which describes this simulation, and includes the Participant Instructions and Administrative Instructions, is reproduced in the Appendix. Also included in the Appendix is a listing of the FORTRAN program of the simulation. Thus, this paper is also the most complete documentation of the simulation available. On the other hand, the heavy usage of the simulation at the School of Business Administration, University of Minnesota, has caused and may cause changes in both the model and the data-handling section, especially in …

A Comparative Study Of The 5- And 3-Meal Plans In Six Convalescent Hospitals In San Bernardino County, Donna J. Meek

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A study comparing the 3- and 5-meal plans of food service, as used in long-stay geriatric units in San Bernardino County, have been compared. Three homes utilizing the 5-meal plan and three utilizing the 3-meal plan, to serve as controls, were chosen. A random sample of ten patients from each home was observed for three days to find the daily average nutrients in the foods served, eaten, and wasted. Also, interviews to compare factual information and attitudes were utilized for sample patients and personnel. The nutritional data was analyzed on the computer.

The results indicated that those on the 5-meal …

Optimizing Models Of After Tax Earnings Incorporating Depletion Allowances, Daniel Teichroew, Kevin Rice, Gordon P. Wright, William G. Lesso

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Optimization problems in the extractive industries differ from that in other industries in that these industries are permitted to claim a tax allowance for depletion of natural resources. This depletion allowance must be calculated for each mining property separately, based on a relatively complex formula specified in the Internal Revenue Code. The problem of optimizing after-tax earnings for a firm with more than one mine is formulated under the following conditions: constant unit price, linear cost function, no annual change in inventory level and a fixed tax rate. The pre-tax and after-tax earnings functions under these assumptions are piecewise linear. …

Patient Satisfaction With Nursing Care During Labor And Delivery, Afton G. Pratt

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Within the scope of the questionnaire designed for this study, it was proposed to determine the satisfactions and dissatisfactions of obstetrical patients at a selected hospital. The study was concerned with patients' perception of nursing care through labor and delivery. Thirty postpartal clinic patients were interviewed in the hospital, using the interview guide which was constructed by the nurse researcher. Groups of questions in the interview guide corresponded to five categories. These five categories comprised the analysis sheet. The findings of the study are given for each of the following categories: One-A--Congeniality of Nurse to Mother. Friendliness of the admitting …

Inventory Depletion Management With Stochastic Field Life Functions, William P. Pierskalla

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Most inventory depletion analysis has been concerned with the case of a deterministic field life function. Since it is rarely the case that the exact field life function of a stock of items would be known, it is more reasonable to treat the case where the field life of an item is a random variable X(S) which depends only on the age, S, of the item upon issuance. In this stochastic case, it is shown that the policy of issuing the oldest item first (FIFO) is optimal provided E[X(S)] = aS + b where a > 0, b > 0, i.e., where …

Optimal Issuing Policies In Inventory Management -- Ii, William P. Pierskalla

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

We are concerned with further generalizations of the inventory depletion model where the inventory deteriorates in time as it remains on the shelf. Once put in use, an item from the inventory of n items has a nonnegative field life, L(s), which is a function of the age, s, of the item upon issuance to the field. The objective is to determine the order of issue that maximizes the total field life of the stockpile. Optimal policies of the form LIFO, last in first out, or FIFO, first in first out, are sought. Earlier writers have considered a static model …

Finite-Source Priority Queues, N. K. Jaiswal, K. Thiruvengadam

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The effect of assuming priorities in multiple finite-source queuing models is studied in which k ≥ 2 types of units emanate from independent sources, at least one of which is finite. Results are derived for k = 2, assuming preemptive resume, repeat and head-of-the-line priority disciplines. Extensions for k > 2 are pointed out.

A Linear Model Approach To Time And Cost Analysis, William (Bill) H. Williams

Publications and Research

Systems analyses frequently require estimates of the average time that it takes to perform repetitive tasks. These time estimates may be easy to obtain; for example, if one man is performing a single operation, then a simple division of his total working time by the frequency of the task repetition, gives an estimate of the average performance time. However, in many instances, work consolidation requires that individuals be called upon to perform several different operations. For example, crews may be sent into the field to carry out a number of different tasks, for which the relative rate of occurrence may …
