Air And Missile Defense Threat Scenario Variation To Reduce Pretest Sensitization, Video Games As A Case Study, Julie Renee Szekerczes
Air And Missile Defense Threat Scenario Variation To Reduce Pretest Sensitization, Video Games As A Case Study, Julie Renee Szekerczes
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study uses fixed and variable video game types to measure pretest sensitization as a proxy for repeated and varied threat test scenarios in system performance testing of air and missile defense systems. The pretest sensitization phenomenon exists when repeated exposure to a test condition influences the participant's response. Research shows air and missile defense development correlates with video games, resulting in similar interfaces and computer operating environments. Department of Defense acquisition test and evaluation results must reflect system performance without prior knowledge of the threat scenarios confounding the results. System performance results inform acquisition decisions, such as further funding …
Smart Manufacturing Readiness Assessment - Analysis Of A Modern Tool From A Sociotechnical Perspective, Todd Lemon
Smart Manufacturing Readiness Assessment - Analysis Of A Modern Tool From A Sociotechnical Perspective, Todd Lemon
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Smart Manufacturing has emerged out of the pervasive buzzwords in publications as a competitive strategy, characterized by the intensive use of digital information and technology throughout the production processes; shop-floor, people, and systems are married by the Internet creating services critical to manufacturing. The work completed and presented here extends the research in the area of Smart Manufacturing (SM) readiness to include a more comprehensive approach to production floor implementation. The overarching goal is to explore SM implementation in attempt to identify underlying latent factors that relate to preparedness from a joint social and technical perspective, striving for a model …
Case Studies On Usage Of Axiomatic Design Methodology In The U.S. Industries, Alireza Alavizadeh
Case Studies On Usage Of Axiomatic Design Methodology In The U.S. Industries, Alireza Alavizadeh
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Axiomatic Design, originally developed by Nam Suh, is a design methodology that attempts to systematize the design practices and to provide a basis on which design can be carried out and optimized according to two main axioms, namely, Independence and Information axioms. Although various scholars in both academia and industry have studied the applicability and effectiveness of this methodology, the extent to which Axiomatic Design has been implemented in industry, particularly in the U.S., is unknown. l1l This study was conducted to identify the extent to which Axiomatic Design is known to the U.S. industries. Other purposes of this study …
Leanness And Agility In Job Shops: A Framework For A Survey Instrument Developed Using The Delphi Method, Zaki Kuruppalil
Leanness And Agility In Job Shops: A Framework For A Survey Instrument Developed Using The Delphi Method, Zaki Kuruppalil
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Manufacturers are facing new challenges as competition has become global. Manufacturing companies arc looking for strategies which would help them gain an edge over their competitors. In the United States, lean manufacturing and agile manufacturing have been gaining importance among industries. Agile manufacturing was developed when the United States Department of Defense (DOD) requested Iacocca Institute at Lehigh University to develop a manufacturing framework that could give US companies an edge over their worldwide competitors whereas lean manufacturing has its roots tied to the Toyota Production System (TPS). This raises the questions: what is the clear difference between the two …
Conceptual Simulation Modeling For Regional Distribution Center Systems, Kitti Setavoraphan
Conceptual Simulation Modeling For Regional Distribution Center Systems, Kitti Setavoraphan
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study focuses on the simulation modeling of warehousing operations commonly seen at general merchandize distribution centers. The key operational processes and modeling requirements related were identified and analyzed through a pattern and knowledge-based approach to capture the structural and behavioral characteristics of general distribution centers to support simulation study for performance evaluation and process improvement. Robust representations and patterns were developed to represent the elements and logic of the simulation models for these processes to facilitate efficient and effective construction of models. The issues of conceptual modeling such as synthesis, abstraction, decomposition, and specialization were addressed.

Combining Systematic Layout Planning And Computer Simulation In The Design Of Manufacturing Facilities, Akintoye M. Akinyoade
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this study, the systematic layout planning (SLP) and computer simulation were combined to improve the layout design of a manufacturing facility using a case study.
Optimizing The Space Transportation Information Network: A Training Model For An Innovative Project At Nasa Glenn Research Center, Jeff Rybak
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Space Transportation Information Network (STIN) was developed to solve the challenge of managing a geographically disparate NASA program. By its nature, this "enterprise information portal" enhances communication, saves time, and retains expertise as a form-driven knowledge management data base. However, for the Revolutionary Turbine Accelerator Project (RTA) led by the NASA Glenn Research Center, a comprehensive STIN training program, designed specifically for RTA, had never been instituted. To help optimize STIN for this population, a training intervention model was designed and developed to clarify the purpose, policy, and technical usability of STIN. As the front-end to the training development …
A Comparative Study On Projected And Actual Manufacturing Times To Identify The Source Of Customer Delinquency, Zaki Kuruppalil
A Comparative Study On Projected And Actual Manufacturing Times To Identify The Source Of Customer Delinquency, Zaki Kuruppalil
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study was an investigation of the projected lead time and the actual lead time for a part manufactured at Tri-Industries Inc., Terre Haute, Indiana. The research was focused on a single part produced in Tri-Industries. The problem was that there is a difference in the projected lead time and the actual lead time of the part under investigation. The actual lead time was longer than projected lead time, which resulted in the company being delinquent in customer delivery. This investigation was conducted to find out the source for customer delinquency for a single part in Tri-Industries. The conclusion was …
