Manpower Efficiency In Automobile Franchises, James R. Berry

Theses

The efficient utilization of manpower is one of the primary concerns of the management of automobile dealerships in controlling expanses and increasing, profits, The purpose of this paper is (1) to present an analysis of manpower efficiency, in general, in automotive dealerships within the limits of General Motors Corporation, and (2) to examine and appraise manpower efficiency in small town dealership. Because salary and wages represent about one-half of the total expense in a dealership, it is important that dealers take the time and effort needed to increase the productivity of their employees, In other words, manpower efficiency must be …

Some Laboratory Experiments To Test The Unity Of Command Principle, James Miller Wilson

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This study reports on three separate laboratory experiments designed to test the validity of the principle of unity of command. This principle of classical organization theory had its popular beginning with Henri Fayol and is based on common sense and experience, but has apparently never been scientifically tested using objective measures of performance. The null hypothesis was stated as follows: "There is no significant difference in the performance or morale of individuals who work under conditions of unity of command and individuals who work under conditions of disunity of command".

Subjects in each experiment performed tasks under controlled conditions in …

Toward A R&D Laboratory Evaluation Methodology, Edward S. Esbeck, Nandakumar M. Balwally, S. Srinivasan, Arnold Reisman, Burton V. Dean, S. Subba Rao

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The objective of this study is to develop a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of R&D laboratories. The methods are applied to: (1) determining the input and output variables and (2) weighting and measuring the subjective variables. The results of the study indicate that laboratory effectiveness can be meaningfully quantified and hence evaluated. Further experimentation will be aimed at specific application to the Department of Defense’s Project REFLEX laboratory evaluation.

Algorithms For Stochastic Games: A Comparison Of Efficiency, Arvind Jain

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

There are two convergent algorithms for the solution of two person zero sum nonterminating stochastic games. The first one is developed by Hoffman and Karp and the second one is recently developed by Nair, Rao and Chandrasekaran. 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. Further, the results show that the ratio of the computation of time of the first algorithms to that of the second …

A Faster Algorithm For Nonterminating Stochastic Games, K.P. K. Nair, S. Subba Rao, R. Chandrasekaran

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In this paper a two person zero sum nonterminating stochastic game with a finite number of positions or states is considered. The movement of the game from state to state is jointly controlled by the two players depending on their choices of strategies from a finite number of alternatives in each state available to each player, respectively. Considering an infinite number of transitions, Hoffman and Karp have provided a convergent algorithm for the solution of this game. This paper presents a new convergent algorithm for the solution of the above game. The proof of convergence shows also the existence of …

Demonstrating Compliance With Anti Discrimination In Employment Laws: Applications Of I.E./O.R., Arnold Reisman, Burton V. Dean, David E. Sands, Joseph A. Svestka

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 make it illegal to discriminate against women in all aspects of employment, any state statutes to the contrary notwithstanding. In recent months, several cases were tried and many are currently pending. This paper discusses work performed in preparation for expert witness testimony for two cases, both of which were decided in Federal Court, one of which is before a higher court on appeal. Methods of engineering economics, actuarial science, industrial engineering, computer simulation, and statistical analysis are utilized to prove that discrimination existed …

A Corporate Production Planning And Inventory Control Policy, C. Pekmezciler

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

A company which produces a large number of different products is taken as an example where the production of each item is made alternately in lots on the same facility. Depending on their demand forecast and inventory levels lot sizes determined and produced for order or inventory. Description of the production facilities, production, products groups, their inventory and demand pattern in the past is given and discussed. Problems generally faced in overall planning and scheduling of this kind of a company are identified. A dynamic programming approach for aggregate production capacity decision for the case when aggregate production, inventory and …

An Efficient Algorithm For Minimizing Barrier And Penalty Functions, Leon S. Lasdon

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Constrained minimization is often done via interior penalty functions. Such functions can be very difficult to minimize using existing algorithms. In this paper, a new algorithm is described which is specially constructed to deal with such functions. It generates search directions by linearizing the objective and constraints about the current (interior) point, substituting these linearizations into the penalty function, and minimizing the result. Properties of the algorithm are derived, an efficient method for solving the direction finding problem is suggested, and computational results are presented. Preliminary results are also given on an extension to quasi-barrier and exterior penalty functions.

Stochastic Cash Flow Formulae Under Conditions Of Inflation, Arnold Reisman, Arza K. Rao

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper presents time-dependent deterministic and stochastic variations of common discounted cash flow formulae with explicit consideration given to inflation. The cash flows, the rates of discount or of compounding, and the rate of inflation are allowed to vary with time in a deterministic as well as random fashion in equations for the Compound Amount of a Single Payment, Present Worth of a Single Payment, Amount of an Annuity, Periodic Deposits to Accumulate a Future Amount, Present Worth of an Annuity, Capital Recovery, and the Present Worth of a Deferred Annuity.
