A Cost-Benefit Analysis For The Implementation Of Lean Logistics To Aircraft Structural Repair At The Air Force Material Command's Warner Robins Air Logistics Center/Depot, Richard J. Ruggiero

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

This research conducts a cost-benefit analysis of the implementation of lean logistics to the repair of aircraft structural components at the Air Force Material Command's (AFMC) Warner Robins Air Logistics Center (WR-ALC). A literature review identifies new business practices in the automotive industry, collectively 'termed "lean production," that were translated by the RAND Corporation into a modified Air Force logistics system-- the "lean logistics" model.

Theoretical costs and benefits from the lean logistics model are translated into empirical costs and benefits associated with aircraft structural repair. The cost-benefit analysis results clearly demonstrate that express distribution costs for the sizable aircraft …

Historical Review Of Social Security And Its Effect On Personal Savings, Douglas P. Rose

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

Social Security has left its indelible mark on the American culture, however there still remains considerable debate over the effect it has had in curtailing personal savings for the express purpose of providing for one’s retirement. This study begins with a review of the origins of the modem Social Security system and critiques previous attempts at trying to quantify its impact on personal savings habits. While most previous attempts have aimed to construct a future benefits variable in order to measure this effect, it is presumed in this model that current observations and experiences with Social Security are the most …

Economic- Air Pollution Models: An Econometrics Regression Approach, Muhammed R. Yunus

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

Economic- air pollution models have been developed using an econometrics regression approach for the ambient air concentration levels of total particulate matter (TPM) ,, I960- 1990, sulfur oxide (SOx), 1962-1992, and carbon monoxide (CO), 1970-1992. There are some difficulties in determining the explanatory variables because many variables which affect ambient air levels may also be related to others explanatory variables. Furthermore, the lack of available ambient air concentration level data is another constraint in developing the models. Yet, this study suggests that while gross domestic product per capita has increased over time, ambient air levels of TPM and SOx pollutants …

Part Three traces the changes in the gray market landscape favorable …

Pathways To Change: Case Studies Of Strategic Negotiations, Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld, Robert B. Mckersie, Richard E. Walton

Upjohn Press

The authors identify and analyze the strategies for change and techniques most often used in today's labor negotiations. Nearly gone, they say, is the traditional "arms length" approach used by negotiators in the past. Instead, modern collective bargaining is characterized mainly by divergent strategies the authors characterize as either "forcing" (highly contentious) or "fostering" (highly cooperative). A dozen detailed case studies from a variety of industries are presented that show when, why and how these strategies are used, by whom, and to what result. These cases clearly demonstrate the use of both forcing and fostering strategies, as well as their …

The analysis concludes, however, that unless the state cum federal government finds ways to …
