Criteria For Effective Appraisal Of Junior Executives, Albert I. Pierce

Anderson School of Management Theses & Dissertations

One of the more important challenges facing responsible and conscientious managerial practitioners today is the identification and application of the criteria needed for effective appraisal of junior executives. The primary objective of this investigation of contemporary managerial practices relating to the appraisal of junior executives was to identify valid and reliable qualitative criteria. Focus and direction was provided by the hypothesis that there are available valid and reliable sets of qualitative criteria for effective appraisal of junior executives. The framework established for the conduct of this investigation included an attempt to define the management function and a concept of the …

Sheep Programmes For Esperance Settlers With Limited Finance, R J. Doyle, G. D. Oliver

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

FARMING in the Esperance region has now passed through the phase of experimentation into the phase of consolidation.

But not all new settlers are prosperous.

On occasions, a lifetime ambition to own and operate a farm has ended in failure because the settler has been forced through economic circumstances to give up his block.

Too often this follows the unequal struggle of trying to develop a block with too little capital.

A Study Of The Queueing Systems M/G/1 And Gi/M/1, U. Narayan Bhat

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This report examines single-server queueing systems, focusing on M/G/1 (Poisson arrivals with general service times) and GI/M/1 (general independent arrivals with negative exponential service times). Traditional approaches, often relying on transforms to analyze distributions, have been criticized for obscuring key behavioral details. The report explores more recent advancements and research in queueing systems. The author presents a simplified method for studying queueing systems that minimizes the use of transforms while maintaining analytical rigor, making it well-suited for teaching and practical applications. The report extends its applicability to systems with group arrivals and services, using Kendall’s notation to denote queue configurations.

Mathematical Programming With Monotonic Constraint Functions, William P. Pierskalla

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The mathematical programming problem -- find a non-negative n-vector x which maximizes f(x) subject to the constraints g^i(x) ≥ 0, i = 1,...,m -- is investigated where f(x) is assumed to be concave or strictly quasi-concave and the g^i(x) are monotonic increasing functions. It is shown that under certain conditions on g^i(x), the Kuhn-Tucker-Lagrange conditions are necessary and sufficient for the optimality of x*. It is also shown that the g^i(x) are an interesting class of functions since, among other properties, they are closed under non-negative addition, under the addition of any scalar, and under multiplication of non-negative members of …

A Model For Evaluating Costs Of Implementing Community Projects, Burton V. Dean, Samuel J. Mantel Jr.

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

As a contribution to the difficult problem of estimating costs and benefits for community projects, a model is developed which estimates the expected costs of implementation of projects that face community group opposition. The essential elements in the model are the careful enumeration of the opposition groups in a community and a classification and measurement of factors that are important in determining the magnitude and extent of opposition. The model includes the costs and risks of community project implementation, the relative importance of factors and groups, and the decision criteria used by the groups. A method of solution, examples, and …

Scheduling Vehicles In A Transportation Network, Roy Macdonald-Taylor

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The problem of scheduling vehicles in a transportation network consisting of the straight line with the two main stations at each and intermediate stations in between was investigated. The proposed high speed ground transport system in the northeast corridor between Boston and Washington was used as an example. The tool used was simulation on a computer and the basic approach was to develop scheduling decision rules, develop criteria to measure the effectiveness of the rules, apply the rules and evaluate the resultant schedules in terms of the measures of effectiveness. Some general and particular case conclusions are drawn.

Business Games, Programmed Players, And Individual Decision-Making Profiles, John M. Braasch

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The area of investigation of this study was that of the use of a business decision simulation to determine profiles of decision-making skill and style of students in business administration. The objective of this research was to determine relationships between the educational background and training of business administration students, and their proficiency in decision-making, together with their basic modes of decision-making. The research program involved the use of a new computer-programmed general management business decision simulation which simulates an interacting, multi-firm industry which was designed primarily for teaching and research purposes. The technique used in this study revolved around the …

Two-Class Priority System With Setup Times, Peter Mevert

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper analyzes a single-server queuing system with two classes of customers. Service is provided on a first-come, first-served basis within each class, with three priority disciplines considered: preemptive head-of-line, alternating between classes, and standard first-come, first-served. A setup or orientation time is incurred whenever the server switches from one class to another. Customer arrivals follow a Poisson process, while service and setup times are governed by arbitrary distributions. Using modifications of the virtual waiting time method, the study derives Laplace transforms and expected values for the steady-state waiting time distributions under the three priority disciplines. Special cases are also …
