Predictors of Persistent Elbow Tendonitis Among Auto Assembly Workers
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-09)
Introduction : Lateral and medial epicondylitis associated with work activity is a common upper extremity musculoskeletal disorder with a prevalence of 4–30% depending upon the work setting and diagnostic criteria. The ...
Integrated maintenance and production control of a deteriorating production system
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-05)
We consider a make-to-stock production/inventory system consisting of a single deteriorating machine which produces a single item. We formulate the integrated decisions of maintenance and production using a Markov Decision ...
Modelling three-dimensional trajectories by using BÉzier curves with application to hand motion
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007-11)
Optimal capacity in a coordinated supply chain
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-03)
We consider a supply chain in which a retailer faces a stochastic demand, incurs backorder and inventory holding costs and uses a periodic review system to place orders from a manufacturer. The manufacturer must fill the ...
A Cross-Sectional Assessment of the ACGIH TLV for Hand Activity Level
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2005-03)
The ACGIH Worldwide Threshold Limit Value (TLV) for hand activity “considers average hand activity level or “HAL” and peak hand force.” We report cross-sectional data that assess the validity of the TLV with respect to ...
Control of a manufacturing system with random product yield and downward substitutability
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-09)
We consider a manufacturing system where the quality of the end product is uncertain and is graded into one of several quality levels after production. We assume stochastic demand for each quality level, stochastic production ...
Adaptive inventory control models for supply chain management
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-10)
Uncertainties inherent in customer demands make it difficult for supply chains to achieve just-in-time inventory replenishment, resulting in loosing sales opportunities or keeping excessive chain-wide inventories. In this ...
Extreme point characterizations for infinite network flow problems
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-12)
We study capacitated network flow problems with demands defined on a countably infinite collection of nodes having finite degree. This class of network flow models includes, for example, all infinite horizon deterministic ...
Predictors of Upper Extremity Discomfort: A Longitudinal Study of Industrial and Clerical Workers
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2005-03)
Upper extremity discomfort associated with work activity is common with a prevalence of over 50% in many settings. This study followed a cohort of 501 active workers for an average of 5.4 years. Cases were defined as workers ...
