摘要:

This paper reviews several Soviet papers and comments on the approach to evaluate the economic effectiveness of group technology. General and specific examples are quoted. An exercise is described and commented upon. Some principles are discussed and contrasted with similar factors in the West. A detailed bibliography is appended,

摘要:

Production planning mid smoothing models have been analysed in the operational research literature for some time. Application of these models in industry is growing, mid they have proved to be economically beneficial. Still, we find there exist many questions concerning the length of time over which production should lx) planned: (1) Does an optimal planning horizon exist? (2) If it does, is it of reasonable length as to be useful to the practitioner? (3) What factors affect the length of the planning horizon?

摘要:

This paper presents a benefit/cost analysis for different alternatives considered as remedial actions to reduce potential health hazards associated with radioactive uranium tailings remaining at a dismantled mill in Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A. The analysis was carried out in two phases. Phase one considered: (1) the health hazards associated with each of the alternatives over various future time periods; (2) parametric benefit/cost analyses using various monetary values of human life and real estate; and (3) discount and inflation rates. The analysis was undertaken with and without including opportunity costs. Phase two focused on non-quantifiable constraints that had not been covered in the first phase, and eliminated nil but three of the alternatives.

摘要:

The paper introduces mi overall scheduling problem. One crucial aspect is identified; this is the production of an aggregate schedule which is to be fed into the detailed scheduling package currently employed. The problem is seen to be that of achieving a balance between a smooth work-load on the factory floor and matching production with promised delivery dates.

摘要:

Not long ago, industrial engineers moved to acquire more insight into the area of economic considerations in quality control. Contributions in this area fell into four basic categories: procedures for the economic selection of a quality level, procedures for the design of optimal sampling plans, procedures for the design of a sequence of sampling plans and procedures for process control.
