Three Mile Island: The management communication role
(Elsevier, 1986-01)
The accident at the Three Mile Island Unit 2 nuclear reactor was the result of a sequence of events that, in part, can be interpreted to have resulted from ineffective management communication procedures. An analysis of ...
An approach for simulating regional migration patterns
(Elsevier, 1981)
In this paper, GERTS III is presented as a possible approach for simulating regional migration patterns. Fourteen years of aggregate Canadian census data were compiled and a mathematical model was constructed to describe ...
Dual database strategy and implementation
(Elsevier, 1987)
In expanding from an application-oriented hierarchical database model information system to a system integrated with information-oriented relational database model, IBM offers its IMS/DB2 dual database strategy. There are ...
The file allocation problem--A queueing network optimization approach
(Elsevier, 1987)
A set of customers use a connected network of computer installations, each accessing the network from a particular node. These customers share information contained in a set of data files. A typical customer's need is ...
Methods for a network design problem in solar power systems
(Elsevier, 1985)
We consider the problem of minimizing cable connections between a central computer and a field of heliostats in the design of solar power systems. This practical task can be modeled as a p-median problem with additional ...
Computational behavior of a feasible direction method for linear programming
(Elsevier, 1989-06-15)
We discuss a finite method of feasible directions for linear programs. The method begins with a BFS (basic feasible solution) and constructs a profitable direction by combining the updated columns of several nonbasic ...
Manufacturing technology policy and deployment of processing innovations
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Scientific Publishing Company ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1988-12)
This is a report of a study on the evolution of manufacturing technology policy during the deployment of domestic advanced manufacturing systems in thirty-four plants and two panels of data collection separated by one year. ...
Layout of facilities with some fixed points
(Elsevier, 1985)
This paper deals with the location of facilities or "movable" points on a planar area, on which there already exist fixed points. The minimax criterion for optimality is used and distances among points are assumed to be ...
