Strategies For Implementing Systems Studies, Arnold Reisman, Cornelis A. De Kluyver Jan 1973

Strategies For Implementing Systems Studies, Arnold Reisman, Cornelis A. De Kluyver

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper explores the philosophical foundations and critical factors underlying the successful implementation of systems studies. It emphasizes that the likelihood of success increases when careful attention is given to implementation requirements across all phases, from inception to completion. Key factors identified include the relationship between client and sponsor, organizational settings, task force structure, planning for implementation, communication of methodology and results, and technical aspects such as data collection and evaluation. The paper highlights the importance of transferring study ownership to management and engaging them throughout the process to ensure understanding and acceptance. A framework is proposed to assess and …

A Measurement Model For Planning And Budgeting For The Jewish Community Federation Of Cleveland, Allan L. Service, Arnold Reisman

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This report presents the findings of a three-year study applying operations research and systems analysis techniques to the planning and budgeting challenges faced by the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland. The introductory chapter outlines the research context, historical background, and key personnel involved. Subsequent chapters detail the development of a conceptual model that defines system goals and establishes performance indicators for the Federation's agencies. A supporting information system for collecting service statistics is discussed, including subjective sampling methods when objective data is unavailable. The report further explores information processing procedures and the presentation of output data. Finally, the study evaluates …

Order-Preserving Allocation Of Jobs To Two Machines, Shailesh J. Mehta, R. Chandrasekaran, Hamilton Emmons Jan 1973

Order-Preserving Allocation Of Jobs To Two Machines, Shailesh J. Mehta, R. Chandrasekaran, Hamilton Emmons

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing the mean flow time of jobs to be processed on two machines. The jobs have a predetermined order, perhaps reflecting the order of arrival, and each job has a known processing time. We wish to assign the jobs to machines so as to minimize the mean flow time, with the constraint that the original order must be preserved within the subset of jobs assigned to each machine. An efficient algorithm based on dynamic programming is developed.

The Evaluation Of Outputs Of Health, Education And/Or Welfare Programs In Local Agencies, Arnold Reisman Jan 1973

The Evaluation Of Outputs Of Health, Education And/Or Welfare Programs In Local Agencies, Arnold Reisman

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The scope of Industrial Engineering has expanded from measurement of and design of manual work in industrial settings to man-machine interactions and on to man-man interactions in processes which are both within and external to industrial sectors. This paper discusses the methods used in evaluation of outputs of highly professional services offered in disparate agencies, both public and pri­vate, serving health, education, and/or welfare needs of clients in the Cleveland, Ohio area as well as uses of such evaluations in program evaluation and resource allocation. [Publsihed circa 1973-1974.]

Anesthesiology Manpower Planning Study Phase Iii - Progress Report I, Arnold Reisman, F. J. Staub, Burton V. Dean, J.S. Gravenstein, Vijaykumar V. Aggarwal, Vasant B. Kaujalgi, Cornelis A. De Kluyver

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This interim report discusses the major aspects of recent results obtained in the Anesthesiology Manpower Planning Study. The report is intended to serve as a summary of work performed and as the basis of a comprehensive review of results obtained and methodology developed to date in Phase III of the study. The report is organized around the four major tasks of Phase III. First, the extension of the task analysis performed during Phase I deals with revisions made in the anesthesia task list, the inclusion of the concepts of condition-dependence and backup; and the development of a new set of …
