Comparison Of Replacement Strategies For Items That Fail, Arvind Jain, K.P. K. Nair

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In this paper, replacement strategies applicable to failing type of items with monotonically increasing failure rate are considered. In particular, multistage as well as single stage strategies are compared with respect to the behaviour of their important characteristics. Considerations in the choice and implementation of the strategies are discussed.

Capital Budgeting/Project Selection By Mathematical Programming: An Annotated Bibliography, Roy B. Larson

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This document is an outgrowth of research undertaken as part of the author's Doctoral studies in the Organizational Sciences. A portion of the work was completed in partial fulfillment of requirements for a readings course in Operations Research, taken in the spring semester, 1969, under Dr. Yoshiro Kuratani. The motivation behind both the course work and the subsequent effort was purely personal: the comprehensive survey of literature relevant to the application of mathematical programming methods in corporate planning, anticipating the preparation of a dissertation in this subject area.

On Electrical Analogy Of Critical Path Method, K. Shankar, K.P. K. Nair

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Critical path method of project planning, scheduling and control has gained considerable importance because of its theoretical novelty and practical value. Essentially, this technique is based on the theory of flow through network. Although the structure of a project network holds analogy with electrical net, the branch characteristics fail to have the analogy. Battersby has solved this problem by introducing two kinds of floats, namely, duration and resource floats in the network. In this paper, complete electrical analogy is established following a somewhat different approach. With this approach current is injected or released at the appropriate nodes. The resulting G, …

A Process With Chain Dependent Growth Rate - Part Ii The Ruin And Ergodic Problems, Julian Keilson, S. Subba Rao

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In [5] the homogeneous process X(t) defined on a finite irreducible Markov chain P(t) was studied. The process was characterized by an overall transition rate v per unit time, and P the matrix of transition probabilities for the chain and a linear growth for X(t) dependent on the chain; viz. d/dt X(t) = v•. The central limit behavior of the process was exhibited in [5]. For the case when the chain had only two states, the ruin and ergodic problems were considered in [4] for the bounded process. The object of this paper is to investigate the ruin and ergodic …

Some Stochastic Systems With Secondary Inputs, Izzet Sahin

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This study investigates the limiting behavior of stochastic processes in systems with two types of inputs of differing statistical nature and linear continuous output. Type 1 input points are modeled as a time-homogeneous Poisson process, while Type 2 input points follow a recurrent process, both with magnitudes that are mutually independent, identically distributed, positive random variables. Conditions for the existence of limiting distributions are established, yielding practical results for queueing theory, storage theory, and insurance risk theory. Using a vector-Markov process, the problem is reduced to solving an integral equation via Wiener-Hopf factorization. Closed-form results for Laplace transforms of limiting …

Fisheries Report No V (5) - Report On Marron In Farm Dams (Cherax Tenuimanus), N M. Morrissy

Fisheries Research Reports

A programme of selling marron (Cherax tenuimanus) to country dwellers for stocking farm dams, has been carried out by the Pemberton Trout Board for the past few years with considerable financial gain. In this case permission to sell the marron was granted by the Department of Fisheries and Fauna so as to encourage the provision of stocks of this large, freshwater crustacean for farmers in the dryer inland areas of the Southwest which are remote from sources of fresh fish and from natural stocks of marron.

The marron, however, have been sold indiscriminately, upon request, without any advice as to …

Evidence On The Validity Of Management Education, Fred Luthans, James W. Walker, Richard M. Hodgetts

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

The authors feel that more attention should be given to the empirical validation of management education. In order to determine what effect a college degree and the academic major have on promotability, 3,202 marketing personnel of a major petroleum corporation were analyzed.

What effect does a college education have on executive success? Does the major area of study make any difference? Does any kind of management education or development yield tangible returns to an employing organization? In other words, have management formal education and development been empirically validated? Many organizations are seriously beginning to ask these questions. The current body …

Reliability With Standbys, S. Subba Rao, R. Natarajan

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The reliability of complex systems is improved by providing redundancy in the design of the systems. When a component fails, it is replaced immediately from a standby, and the failed component is either repaired and put back into operation or discarded. The reliability characteristics of the system depend on the nature of the standby--hot, cold, or warm--and the availability or lack of repair facilities. This paper attempts to review the work done in the area of reliability of standby systems.

A Preliminary Report On The Economic Impact Of Research And Development Budget Decrements, Burton V. Dean, Arnold Reisman, Richard Kominowski, Arun Sanghvi

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a decrement in the level of financing of R&D projects by the federal government upon research organizations and upon the local regional economy. Specifically, we have developed a computer simulation model to investigate the dynamic effects of budget documents on the research organization and the economy in which it is located. A flow chart about to be incorporated in a computer program is presented.
