Project Program Evaluation Technique For Real Property Maintenance Activities., Richard Walter Graumann

Masters Theses

"Managers of Real Property Maintenance Activities often only consider workmanship and customer satisfaction when evaluating the overall effectiveness of their contracted maintenance and construction projects. For multi-functional organizations where top management is responsible for the execution of several hundred concurrent, unrelated, unique, and widely dispersed projects, these subjective factors are not adequate to conduct a meaningful evaluation.

Top management must continually assess not only the progress of contracted work, but also the engineering design and contract administration functions. Published material has given little attention to the need for aggregating project data in a multi-project environment to provide management with the …

A Strategic Planning Model For Implementing Community Development Block Grant Programs., John M. Lang

Masters Theses

"As problems of metropolitan areas have multiplied, the federal government has been drawn into an ever-increasing intimate funding association with city governments. Although federal funding for ii urban problems may have been considered a panacea by some, most local government agencies have now discovered that their problem has shifted in emphasis from where to find funds to that of meeting federal standards and requirements of application in order to get the funds.

The impact of federal programs on local government management is evident in the recently enacted federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. Title I of the act …

An Organizational Structure For A Highway Agency., Frank L. Carroll

Masters Theses

"Highway agencies in the past have been organized to give primary consideration to economic factors. Th e National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 changed this concept by requiring all states to reevaluate their highway organizations in order to ensure that social and environmental factors, as well as economic factors, are considered.

Various state highway organizations are analyzed to determine the way in which consideration is given to the social, economic and environmental effects of design, and a model organizational structure for a highway agency is developed.

Because considerable difference exists in the ways in which the states have approached the …

An Experimental Model For Predicting The Commodity Futures Market., C. E. Roy Francis

Masters Theses

"Trading of· commodity futures contracts is one of the purest forms of speculation available today. Inherent is the risk of substantial losses. In an effort to reduce these risks, this research was undertaken.

As a result, a computer program was developed to forecast the prices of commodity future contracts on a daily basis. The program employs the Monte Carlo Technique of simulation and provides expected values for the next trading day.

During the development and testing of the prediction model. various trading techniques were also tested. A trading technique utilizing the difference between the forecasted price and the actual price …

The Availability And Development Of An Automated Accounting System For Small Businesses., Margy Rice Beckmeyer

Masters Theses

"A good accounting system is a very essential part of the successful operation of a small business but is often lacking. Therefore, the objective of this research is to furnish a general automated accounting system suitable for use by the small business firm.

To determine the feasibility, a statistical survey was made to evaluate the availability of automated accounting systems now available to small business. The results of the survey suggest that computer systems are presently available to small business firms at economical prices, but to minimize cost the small firm may need to supply its own accounting program.

The …

The Development Of A Selection Model For Coal Conversion Processes., Karen Aldridge Dollar

Masters Theses

"Present research endeavors involving coal conversion technology have encompassed comparisons of the processes on the basis of economics or efficiency. These comparisons lack completeness because many intangible factors pertinent to the evaluations of the processes have been ignored.

A model has been developed to aid in the selection of the optimum coal conversion process for a given situation. The model includes a method for the evaluation of quantifiable factors which affect the decision-making procedure, and also includes methods by which the non-quantifiable factors which are important to the situation may be evaluated. This is a more complete form of decision-making …
