Stockage And Transfer Rules For Multilocation Inventory Control, Chandrasekhar Das Sep 1971

Stockage And Transfer Rules For Multilocation Inventory Control, Chandrasekhar Das

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

A multilocation stochastic inventory problem is dealt with in this dissertation. It is assumed that stock is supplied from a central source and there exists a provision for transfer of stock over the locations. The stockage and transfer decisions are assumed to be centralized. The redistribution is made on the basis of stock review at predetermined points in time between every two consecutive procurement opportunities. Under certain regularity conditions, the optimality of a simple class of transfer rules is established for the two-location system. The optimal stockage rule is also characterized for this system on the supposition that interim transfers …


Optimal Scheduling Of One-Shot Projects, Thomas L. Morin Sep 1971

Optimal Scheduling Of One-Shot Projects, Thomas L. Morin

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This study addresses itself to the scheduling and sequencing aspects of some major capital expenditure planning problems. Specifically, several models for the scheduling and sequencing of systems of durable, high-cost ("one-shot") projects, which in the aggregate are subject to a number of continuous-time demand requirements, are formulated and analyzed. Project selection, sequencing and timing decisions which constitute minimum-cost strategies are determined for various identifiable cases via mathematical programming. In particular, the special structure of this class of continuous time combinatorial decision problems is exploited, leading to the development of several efficient dynamic programming algorithms for the solution of deterministic multi-dimensional …

A Preliminary Report: Economic Effects Of Female Discrimination, Burton V. Dean, Burton V. Dean, David E. Sands Aug 1971

A Preliminary Report: Economic Effects Of Female Discrimination, Burton V. Dean, Burton V. Dean, David E. Sands

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

1964 was the year of passage of the Civil Rights Act Title VII of which addressed itself to the question of discrimination in employment because of sex. Since then, however, many companies have taken advantage of the lack of federal prosecution under this law. In the past few years, a few cases have been tried under this law but no appreciable headway was made in the fight against discrimination. This paper is a discussion of one of the methods by which the practice and effect of discrimination against women in hiring, firing, layoff rehiring and unequal pay can be proved. …


Application Of Pert In Plant Construction Scheduling In The Ohio Brass Company, Burton V. Dean, Samuel Jackson Mathis, Vaughn E. Huckfeldt Aug 1971

Application Of Pert In Plant Construction Scheduling In The Ohio Brass Company, Burton V. Dean, Samuel Jackson Mathis, Vaughn E. Huckfeldt

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The use of PERT on the Ohio Brass Project was successful in establishing a controlled review of all of the important tasks in the project and resulted in new awareness by the ITA project managers of the benefits obtained from good project control. This is illustrated by the desire to expand similar project control efforts on all future ITA projects. The objectives established by UAI iii assisting ITA in the use of modern project management techniques and in the use of existing time- sharing computer services will have been highly educational to ITA, and very satisfactorily completed: This project will …


Algorithms For Discounted Stochastic Games: A Comparison Of Efficiency, Vijaykumar V. Aggarwal Aug 1971

Algorithms For Discounted Stochastic Games: A Comparison Of Efficiency, Vijaykumar V. Aggarwal

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

There are two algorithms for the solution of two person zero sum stochastic games with a finite number of states or positions and where future payoffs are discounted. The first algorithm is on somewhat similar lines as that of Hoffman and Karp for the undiscounted case, and the second one is recently developed by Rao, Chandrasekaran and Nair. This paper presents computer programs for the two algorithms and computational experiments for comparing the efficiency of the algorithms. The results show that the second algorithm requires fewer iterations and moreover, the computation time for each iteration in this is significantly lower. …


A Dual All-Integer Algorithm (In Revised Simplex Form) For The Set Covering Problem, Harvey M. Salkin, Ronald D. Koncal Aug 1971

A Dual All-Integer Algorithm (In Revised Simplex Form) For The Set Covering Problem, Harvey M. Salkin, Ronald D. Koncal

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In an earlier work ("A Pseudo Dual All-Integer Algorithm for the Set Covering Problem", Department of Operations Research Tech. Memo. No. 204, CWRU, Nov. 1970) the authors developed a composite dual simplex-Gomory all integer algorithm for the (inequality or equality) set covering problem (i.e., minimize cx subject to Ex >= e or Ex = e, xj = 0 or 1; where E is an m by n zero-one matrix, e is a column of ones, and c is a nonnegative integral row). Essentially the algorithm performs dual simplex iterations whenever unit pivots are available and it adjoins Gomory all integer …


Scheduling Stochastic Networks With Gert, Vijaykumar V. Aggarwal Aug 1971

Scheduling Stochastic Networks With Gert, Vijaykumar V. Aggarwal

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Concepts of stochastic network have been defined and GERT analysis has been presented for them. Various Systems which present complex logical elements, uncertain activities, multi-sources and multiple terminals and for which very often only intuitive judgement had to be applied, can be easily formulated in a concise and compact network form. Methods of computation for various performance measures have been given and they can help in decision-making.


Nonserial Dynamic Programming - A Guided Tour, Augustine O. Esogbue, Barry Randall Marks Aug 1971

Nonserial Dynamic Programming - A Guided Tour, Augustine O. Esogbue, Barry Randall Marks

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Interest in nonserial dynamic programming is deeply rooted in real life applications. Since the initial efforts in the early 60's however, a number of scattered treatment of this interesting field of dynamic programming has emerged. This paper traces the development of nonserial dynamic programming from the basic theory underlying dynamic programming to the latest applications of nonserial dynamic programming. The works of such major contributors as Nemhauser, Wilde, Beightler, Bertele and Brioschi are critically examined and recent relevant computational advances are discussed. The paper is concluded with a few examples of various applications of nonserial dynamic programming together with some …


A Report On An Exploratory Development Project Evaluation Experiment, Burton V. Dean, Samuel Jackson Mathis, S. Srinivasan Aug 1971

A Report On An Exploratory Development Project Evaluation Experiment, Burton V. Dean, Samuel Jackson Mathis, S. Srinivasan

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper describes the methods and results of an exploratory development project evaluation (EDPE) experiment aimed at developing a method for quantitatively evaluating research and development (R&D) projects. Conducted at the U.S. Army Material Command, the experiment utilized a modified DELPHI Method, employing iterative feedback among a panel of judges to reach consensus on critical factors affecting R&D projects. The panel assessed factor weights, project-factor values, and overall project scores over four sessions. Linear regression models were developed using weighted scores, with additional statistical tests performed to evaluate panel agreement, bias, and model predictive capability. Key findings include the sufficiency …
