Ad-Hoc Automated Teller Machine Failure Forecast And Field Service Optimization, Michelle L. F. Cheong, Ping Shung Koo, B. Chandra Babu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

As part of its overall effort to maintain good customer service while managing operational efficiency and reducing cost, a bank in Singapore has embarked on using data and decision analytics methodologies to perform better ad-hoc ATM failure forecasting and plan the field service engineers to repair the machines. We propose using a combined Data and Decision Analytics Framework which helps the analyst to first understand the business problem by collecting, preparing and exploring data to gain business insights, before proposing what objectives and solutions can and should be done to solve the problem. This paper reports the work in analyzing …

In this thesis, we investigate the performance of Cultural Algorithms when dealing with the increasing dimensionality of optimization problems. The research is based on previous cultural algorithm approaches with the Cultural Algorithms Toolkit, CAT 2.0, which supports a variety of co-evolutionary features at both the knowledge and population levels. In this project, the system was applied to the solution of 60 randomly generated problems that ranged from 2-dimensional to 5-dimensional problem spaces. …
