摘要:

The procedure presented in this paper is a computerized methodology to generate alternate, ergonomically sound layouts of large control panels. The displays and controls are laid out on a vertical and two inclined panels taking various ergonomic design principles into account. Required input data categories, general structure of the methodology, and output reports of LAYGEN are discussed.

摘要:

Hyper-rectilinear distances correspond to thelpdistance function for 0 <p< 1. These distances occur in practice when the travel distances between pairs of points are generally greater than rectilinear distances. In this paper we examine the single facility location problem when hyper-rectilinear distances are present.

摘要:

In this note we show how to generalize Klein's observation that certain production planning problems can be modeled as transportation problems. This represents an application of an old result due to Wagner and described in Ford and Fulkerson's book.

摘要:

Management often has a policy concerning the maximum allowed backorder delay. In effect, this policy tacitly implies a certain backorder cost, which is developed in this paper. This implied cost can be used to ascertain whether the current policy is in the right ballpark. By calculating the implied backorder cost when the allowed delay is set to the smallest value of practical interest (say, one day), management is able to determine the critical backorder cost. An actual value higher than this means that backorders should not be planned.
