Analytic Models for When and How to Expedite in Make-to-Order Systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-11)
Expediting is defined as using overtime or subcontracting to supplement regular production. This is usually done when the number of backorders has grown to be unacceptably large. In this paper, we consider analytic models ...
Base-stock control for single-product tandem make-to-stock systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-01)
In this paper, we consider a multiple-stage tandem production/inventory system producing a single product. Processing time at each stage is assumed to have a general stationary processing time distribution. The cost of ...
A Pareto Model for OLAP View Size Estimation
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-04)
On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) aims at gaining useful information quickly from large amounts of data residing in a data warehouse. To improve the quickness of response to queries, pre-aggregation is a useful strategy. ...
System Design and Implementation of a National Image Registry for Orthopaedic Oncology Image Management, Research and Teaching
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-12)
Orthopaedic oncology is highly dependent on imaging studies to diagnose and treat patients. However, many types of bone tumors are rare creating a lack of teaching and research cases. We have developed a system to locally ...
Some Problems in Stochastic Control Theory Related to Inventory Management and Coarsening.
(2014)
In this dissertation, we study two stochastic control problems arising from inventory management and coarsening.
First, we study a stochastic production/inventory system with a finite production capacity and random demand. ...
Expected move request waiting times in single-device, polling-based material handling systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-01)
We present an analytical approach to approximate the expected waiting times of move requests (customers) served by a single handling device (server) that operates according to the First-Encountered-First-Served (FEFS) rule, ...
A reexamination of the distance-based facility layout problem
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-07)
In this paper we qualitatively and numerically compare basic modeling approaches to the distance-based facility layout problem and the types of result obtained from them. In the process we observe that when the facility ...
Current Advances in Mechanical Design and Production
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-09)
Scheduling operations on parallel machine tools
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-05)
We introduce unique scheduling problems that arise for multiple spindle machine tools. The ability of these machines to perform simultaneous operations on more than one part creates constraints that are not found in the ...
Noise smoothing for VR equipment in quaternions
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-07)
Smooth motion generation is an important issue in the computer animation and virtual reality (VR) area. In general, the motion of a rigid body consists of translation and orientation. The former is described by a space ...
