Evaluation and derivation of process plans in turning
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 1996-05)
The objective of this paper is to formalize process planning selection to minimise the total processing time and the total number of processing steps. The study is performed by defining the processes and part description ...
Integrating facility location and production planning decisions
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2010-03)
We consider a metric uncapacitated facility location problem where we must assign each customer to a facility and meet the demand of the customer in future time periods through production and inventory decisions at the ...
Call Center Staffing with Simulation and Cutting Plane Methods
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-03)
We present an iterative cutting plane method for minimizing staffing costs in a service system subject to satisfying acceptable service level requirements over multiple time periods. We assume that the service level cannot ...
Interfacial adhesion and toughening mechanisms in an alloy of polycarbonate/polyethylene
(Elsevier, 1992)
Interfacial adhesion and toughening mechanisms in an alloy of polycarbonate/polyethylene (PC/PE) are investigated using transmission electron microscopy. In contrast to the general speculation, it is found that the PE ...
Planning and scheduling approaches to operate a particular FMS
(Elsevier, 1992-09-25)
This paper contains a detailed description of a thirteen machine COMAU FMS for a company in Torino, Italy. The monthly and daily problems that need to be addressed and the approaches that are suggested to operate this ...

Achievement and Aspiration
(Sage Publications, 1981)
In contrast to previous work, our study considers both meaning and mediation factors in the achievement-aspiration relationship. In a sample of graduate students ("academic-career aspirants"), we examine sex differences ...
Simultaneous multidimensional unfolding and cluster analysis: An investigation of strategic groups
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1991-04)
This paper develops a maximum likelihood based methodology for simultaneously performing multidimensional unfolding and cluster analysis on two-way dominance or profile data. This new procedure utilizes mixtures of ...
Modeling and compensation of geometric errors in simultaneous cutting using a multi-spindle machine tool
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-01-18)
A volumetric error compensation method for a machining center that has multiple cutting tools operating simultaneously has been developed. Due to axis sharing, the geometric errors of multi-spindle, concurrent cutting ...
Accommodating the effects of brand unfamiliarity in the multidimensional scaling of preference data
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1992-01)
This paper presents a multidimensional scaling (MDS) methodology (vector model) for the spatial analysis of preference data that explicitly models the effects of unfamiliarity on evoked preferences. Our objective is to ...
