Sensitivity Analysis of Subjective Ergonomic Assessment Tools: Impact of Input Information Accuracy on Output (Final Scores) Generation
(2008-09-09)
Subjective ergonomic assessment tools are widely used by practitioners to detect existing or potentially hazardous conditions. Their output scores are used to design, implement, and evaluate measurements and controls in ...
The Optimum Upper Screening Limit and Optimum Mean Fill Level to Maximize Expected Net Profit in the Canning Problem for Finite Continuous Distributions
(2008-09-09)
The “canning problem” occurs when a process has a minimum specification such that any product produced below that minimum incurs a scrap/rework cost and any product over the minimum incurs a “give-away” cost. The objective ...
The Effects of Behavior-based Safety Techniques on Behavior Variation, Targeted and Non-Targeted Safe Behaviors, and Productivity and Quality in Manufacturing Facilities
(2009-02-23)
In the field of occupational safety and health, worker behavior is often associated
with the immediate cause of workplace accidents and injuries. As a result an
understanding of worker behavior is a major area of concern ...
Bottleneck Detection and Mitigation in Serial Production Systems
(2009-02-23)
A variety of analytical models have been proposed to model and analyze serial manufacturing systems. Most analytical models, however, make simplifying assumptions in order to remain mathematically tractable. These analytical ...
Knapsack problems with setup
(2008-09-09)
This research studies three integer programming models which can be applied to order acceptance in make-to-order manufacturing or regional project selection in multiple periods. All three models are the variations of the ...
Transmission Expansion Planning to Alleviate Congestion in Deregulated Power Markets
(2008-09-09)
Transmission expansion planning is a challenging task that affects all aspects of the power generation system in different ways. Since the deregulation of the power industry, the competition between power generators has ...
PBGA Reliability of Lead Free Solder Balls Assembled with Tin Lead Solder Paste for Harsh Environment Electronics
(2008-09-09)
The demand for high-temperature electronics is growing rapidly in the automotive industry. This stems directly from the fact that these electronics are being transferred from their passive environments to under-the-hood ...
