A model to determine staff levels, cost, and productivity of hospital units
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1987-10)
A methodology is presented with examples of the productivity, the staffing required, the resultant productivity, and costs that can be obtained for hospital units that are subject to random work demands such as laboratory, ...
The relationship of isometric strength to peak dynamic hand forces during submaximal weight lifting
(Elsevier, 1992-01)
Reports have indicated that approximately one third of the US workforce is presently required to exert significant strength as part of their jobs. In addressing the prevention of these types of injuries, the assessment of ...
Modeling and analysis of multi‐stage transfer lines with unreliable machines and finite buffers
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-01)
This paper models and analyzes multi‐stage transfer lines with unreliable machines and finite buffers. The machines have exponential operation, failure, and repair processes. First, a mixed vector–scalar Markov process ...
A Finite Algorithm for Solving Infinite Dimensional Optimization Problems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-01)
We consider the general optimization problem ( P ) of selecting a continuous function x over a σ-compact Hausdorff space T to a metric space A , from a feasible region X of such functions, so as to minimize a functional c ...
A novel modeling approach for express package carrier planning
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-10)
Express package carrier networks have large numbers of heavily-interconnected and tightly-constrained resources, making the planning process difficult. A decision made in one area of the network can impact virtually any ...
