Crossings Of Curves By A One-Dimensional Brownian Motion Process, Douglas Yates Rowland

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The following result is proved: For any given continuous function and any T > 0, the set of points between zero and T where the sample path of a standard separable Brownian motion process intersects the graph of the function is almost surely either a perfect set or a set which is perfect if the origin is removed. Sufficient conditions are given for that set to be perfect and sufficient conditions are given for it to be perfect if the origin is removed.

A Design Methodology For Automated Inspection, Donald Henrik Kylin

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

A class of industrial inspection problems, important because it often causes production bottlenecks, is posed as a pattern recognition problem. A typical member of this class is the inspection of surface quality in flat-rolled steel. Varying inspection requirements, the limitations of manual visual inspection, and the production potential of modern plants motivate research into automatic inspection. Operations research methodologies are applied to three outstanding problems in applied pattern recognition in the context of the automatic inspection system design problem. The design methodology for the inspection system, as proposed in block diagram form, is based on the solutions to these three …

Evaluation Of Shortage Costs - Part Ii: Loss Of Goodwill - Application Of Semi-Markov Processes, Muhittin Oral, S. Subba Rao

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In a previous report (Technical Memoranda No. 248) we formulated the problem of evaluating inventory shortage costs from a new perspective. In a single cycle which consisted of a no-stock out and a stock-out period, we identified and evaluated immediate shortage costs using results from queuing theory. A second part of the shortage costs is due to loss of customer goodwill and this has to be considered over a number of cycles. In the present report, we propose a method of evaluating the loss of customer goodwill. We show that the (Q,S,R) policy gives rise to a (R+S+2) - state …

Analysis Of The Reserve Book System At The Health Center Library, Keki R. Dadachanji, Phiroz P. Darukhanavala, Shailesh J. Mehta, Pradip H. Shroff

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This study examines the Reserve Book System at the Health Center Library, part of the Cleveland Health Sciences Library. Initiated by a survey highlighting congestion at the Circulation desk, the study evaluates the current Reserve book policy and proposes improvements. Using Operations Research techniques, including the DELPHI method and computer simulation, the team developed a Scoring Model to assess alternative policies. Key recommendations include optimizing the number of reserve copies, reducing the number of books on reserve, and maintaining a single server at the Circulation desk. The study emphasizes the practical application of these models for future policy evaluation and …

Revised Economic Projections For Sea World -- Florida, Economics Research Associates

Harrison "Buzz" Price Papers

In 1972, Sea World was proceeding with plans to develop a water-oriented theme park on property located within five miles of Disney World on Interstate 4 in Orange County, Florida. It was Sea World’s intention to capitalize on the expected large influx of tourists brought to the area by Disney World. Sea World’s concept is to bring together the best elements of its San Diego and Ohio parks with a distinct identity and a level of quality similar to that of Disney World. The capital expenditure of the park was estimated at approximately $12 million. Economics Research Associates was retained …

Entrepreneurship And Economic Development: A Critique Of The Theory, Rhoda E. Howard-Hassmann

Political Science Faculty Publications

This thesis is a criticism of the "entrepreneurial school" of economic development, which contends that a major cause of underdevelopment in the Third World is the poor "entrepreneurial spirit" in these areas. The entrepreneurial spirit consists of certain values and behaviour which it is presumed existed in the West at the time of its development. To test the validity of this theory empirical evidence on entrepreneurs is examined; this evidence includes historical data on the West, especially the United States and France, and twenty-one area studies of entrepreneurs in the Third World. The evidence suggests that there is little difference …

Testing A Planning And Control Model In Nonprofit Organizations, Charles A. Reimnitz

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

This study utilizes a planning and control model abstracted from the conceptual framework of general management knowledge to test the relative efficiency of administrators in three educational service organizations. The hypothesis that subordinates' perceptions of administrators' relative proficiency will be a function of the administrators' education, training, experience, and conscious use of management techniques appears to be substantiated.

Analysis And Forecasting Of Anesthesia Manpower In Cuyahoga County, Ohio, J. S. Gravenstein, Augustine O. Esogbue, Arnold Reisman, Burton V. Dean, Vijaykumar V. Aggarwal, Vasant B. Kaujalgi, Peter M. Lewy

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This report discusses the major aspects of a recent study which was concerned with the supply and demand projections for anesthesia manpower in Cuyahoga County in Ohio for a ten year planning horizon (1970-1980); the identification of the constraints which contribute to the gap between current and 'ideal' manpower levels of anesthesiology; the development of an approach to the recruitment and training of anesthesiology manpower and the generation of information which would be useful in developing approaches to the improvement of anesthesia manpower utilization. The latter aspect of the study extends a previous effort by the authors which employed an …

Binding Inequalities In Benders' Partitioning Algorithm, Harvey M. Salkin

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The mixed integer program is transformed to its equivalent integer program which has a vast number of "z inequality" constraints. A brief description of Benders' partitioning algorithm for the mixed integer program, which is suggested by the transformation, is then given. It is shown that unless a bounding constraint is explicitly introduced, a z inequality (hyperplane) that does not intersect an optimal solution to the integer program which appears in the algorithm cannot be dropped. Furthermore, if the bounding constraint is used in place of keeping not binding inequalities, the algorithm may converge at a slower rate. A small plant …

A Matrix Model Of The Public Social Welfare System For The Aged In The U.S.: A Research Proposal, Roger A. Lohmann

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

The creation or adaptation of planning tools will in all probability be an integral feature of the future development of social planning practice. One tool that offers a great deal of potential utility if it can be adapted to the constraints of the social planning milieu is matrix analysis utilizing input-output matrices. The specific focus of the proposed study is on the public welfare system of theaged in the United States. The fundamental hypothesis of the proposed matrix model proposed here is that the general overall characteristic most representative of the system of public social welfare for the aged is …

Consider the linear complementarity problem given by system (1): w = Mx + q (1) w ≥ 0, x ≥ 0 (2) } (I) x'w = 0 (3) where w, x and q are vectors of dimension n and M is a matrix of order n x n. Any (x,w) satisfying conditions (1) and (2) is a feasible solution to system (1). Any (x,w) satisfying (1), (2) and (3) is a complementary feasible solution to system (1). The main results derived in this work are given below. 1) Let MZ - class (i.e. off diagonal elements non-positive). Then Lemke's algorithm …
