System architecture is driven by numerous upstream influences. Regulations, market forces, cultural biases, and a variety of other influences can significantly affect whether architecture is successful or not. To be successful the architect must include upstream influences in the design. Few if any architectural methods are available to systematically account for upstream influences. A new method, Evaluation by a Single Metric (ESM), is presented. It is based on fundamental design principles. It enhances the system architectural process by organizing upstream influences that drive architecture. The ESM method is concept independent and used before concept focused system architectural methods. Specifically, system boundaries, salient upstream elements. and functional connections thereof are systematically determined. The ESM process provides a concept neutral framework used to evaluate candidate architectural concepts. The ESM method is very general. It can be used for the design of nearly any kind of system or process. The thesis makes extensive use of a diverse set of examples which highlight ESM advantages and flexibility.

Full textA persistent problem for hedge fund researchers presents itself in the form of inconsistent and diverse style classifications within and across database providers. For this paper, single-manager hedge funds from the Hedge Fund Research (HFR) and Hedgefund.Net (HFN) databases were classified on the basis of a common factor, extracted using the factor axis methodology. It was assumed that the returns of all sample hedge funds are attributable to a common factor that is shared across hedge funds within one classification, and a specific factor that is unique to a particular hedge fund. In contrast to earlier research and the application of principal component analysis, factor axis has sought to determine how much of the covariance in the dataset is due to common factors (communality). Factor axis largely ignores the diagonal elements of the covariance matrix and orthogonal factor rotation maximises the covariance between hedge fund return series. In an iterative framework, common factors were extracted until all return series were described by one common and one specific factor. Prior to factor extraction, the series was tested for autoregressive moving-average processes and the residuals of such models were used in further analysis to improve upon squared correlations as initial factor estimates. The methodology was applied to 120 ten-year rolling estimation windows in the July 1990 to June 2010 timeframe. The results indicate that the number of distinct style classifications is reduced in comparison to the arbitrary self-selected classifications of the databases. Single manager hedge funds were grouped in portfolios on the basis of the common factor they share. In contrast to other classification methodologies, these common factor portfolios (CFPs) assume that some unspecified individual component of the hedge fund constituents’ returns is diversified away and that single manager hedge funds should be classified according to their common return components. From the CFPs of single manager hedge funds, pure style indices were created to be entered in a multivariate autoregressive framework. For each style index, a Vector Error Correction model (VECM) was estimated to determine the short-term as well as co-integrating relationship of the hedge fund series with the index level series of a stock, bond and commodity proxy. It was postulated that a) in a well-diversified portfolio, the current level of the hedge fund index is independent of the lagged observations from the other asset indices; and b) if the assumptions of the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) hold, it is expected that the predictive power of the model will be low. The analysis was conducted for the July 2000 - June 2010 period. Impulse response tests and variance decomposition revealed that changes in hedge fund index levels are partially induced by changes in the stock, bond and currency markets. Investors are therefore cautioned not to overemphasise the diversification benefits of hedge fund investments. Commodity trading advisors (CTAs) / managed futures, on the other hand, deliver diversification benefits when integrated with an existing portfolio. The results indicated that single manager hedge funds can be reliably classified using the principal factor axis methodology. Continuously re-balanced pure style index representations of these classifications could be used in further analysis. Extensive multivariate analysis revealed that CTAs and macro hedge funds offer superior diversification benefits in the context of existing portfolios. The empirical results are of interest not only to academic researchers, but also practitioners seeking to replicate the methodologies presented.

Building an aircraft carrier is one of the most complex manufacturing undertakings in the world. Each component must be designed, tested and manufactured to not only Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding's (NGSB) exceptionally high standards, but also to the standards, requirements and approvals of both the Navy and the US Federal Government. As a result of these standards and requirements, lead times for construction materials can exceed two years, while a similar component, purchased for industrial use may have a lead time of 90 days. To add to the complexity, the scheduled delivery date for the carrier is fixed, and compressed so that engineering design and construction must take place concurrently. In essence, the ship is under construction years before the design is complete. As a result of concurrent engineering, a complex procurement process and a limited vendor base, some material is chronically late to the Required-in-Yard (RIY) date, causing deviations from the optimal construction schedule and impacting the cost of the ship. This thesis analyzes the current CVN 78 valve purchasing process to identify opportunities to leverage the product model and existing process infrastructure to improve material delivery to schedule and decrease construction costs for CVN 79. It is the goal of this research to improve the supply chain to support the preferred construction schedule, while reducing cost and risk associated with component acquisition. This thesis begins with an analysis of the current supply chain system within NGSB New Carrier Construction.
(cont.) It then explores the current state of vendor relations between NGSB and the supply base. The cost impact for delaying construction due to delinquent valves is identified and presented. Then specific vendor management strategies are examined. This thesis proposes a framework for improving on-time delivery of the component and lowering overall supply chain cost by (1) pursuing strategic alliances with valve vendors, (2) providing greater visibility of demand earlier in the engineering design cycle and (3) using this visibility to drive procurement timing to improve delivery to scheduled need date. The thesis presents a case study in vendor collaboration and provides recommendations. Finally, it discusses the impact of applying the framework to similar components within the New Carrier Construction Program and the potential application of the framework to NGSB's other active programs and shipbuilding locations.

O aumento da demanda por serviÃos ricos em multimÃdia e a escassez do espectro eletromagnÃtico tÃm motivado a pesquisa de tecnologias capazes de aumentar a capacidade de sistemas sem fio sem requerer espectro adicional. Nesse contexto, comunicaÃÃes Dispositivo-a-Dispositivo (D2D, do inglÃs Device-to-Device) representam uma tecnologia promissora. Ao permitir comunicaÃÃo direta e de baixa potÃncia entre os dispositivos, comunicaÃÃes D2D levam a um maior e mais inteligente reuso dos recursos de rÃdio, permitindo um descongestionamento da rede de transporte de dados. Como resultado, a capacidade total do sistema e especialmente a eficiÃncia espectral sÃo aumentadas; e a proximidade entre os dispositivos permitem transferÃncias de dados com baixo atraso e altas taxas de dados, sem requerer potÃncia extra da bateria dos dispositivos. Entretanto, com o objetivo de tornar real os potenciais ganhos de comunicaÃÃes D2D como uma rede secundÃria da celular (primÃria), algumas questÃes chave precisam ser controladas. Assumindo que os dispositivos se comunicando estÃo cientes um do outro, a condiÃÃo do enlace (canal) deve ser avaliada. Caso seja benÃfica, tÃcnicas de GestÃo de recursos de rÃdio (RRM, do inglÃs Radio Resource Management) sÃo empregadas para que a interferÃncia co-canal causada nos dispositivos celulares seja mitigada. Tais tÃcnicas podem ser resumidas como: agrupamento, seleÃÃo de modo e controle de potÃncia. Nessa dissertaÃÃo, eu foco a minha atenÃÃo para RRM em comunicaÃÃes D2D subjacentes a redes LTE, e para as principais tÃcnicas de RRM para mitigar a interferÃncia co-canal. Objetivando a reduÃÃo da interferÃncia intra-celular e na melhoria da eficiÃncia espectral, eu formulo um problema conjunto de agrupamento e controle de potÃncia. Entretanto, devido à sua complexidade eu proponho mÃtodos sub-Ãtimos para agrupar usuÃrios celulares e D2D com o objetivo de minimizar a interferÃncia intra-celular, levando em conta a ortogonalidade espacial entre os usuÃrios que compartilham o recurso. AlÃm disso, eu analiso mÃtodos para decidir se um candidato D2D deveria se comunicar diretamente ou de modo convencional atravÃs da estaÃÃo rÃdio-base (eNB, do inglÃs Evolved Node B). Os resultados mostram que comunicaÃÃes D2D conseguem melhorar a eficiÃncia espectral do sistema e que a maioria dos ganhos pode ser alcanÃada agrupando de forma adequada os usuÃrios para compartilhar recursos baseando-se em projeÃÃes sucessivas e ortogonais, assim como combinando diferentes mÃtricas de compatibilidade espacial. AlÃm disso, nessa dissertaÃÃo eu argumento que tecnologias D2D podem ser usadas para aumentar ainda mais a eficiÃncia espectral e energÃtica se os parÃmetros chave dos algoritmos de RRM forem adequadamente estendidos para comunicaÃÃes D2D em mÃltiplos saltos. Especificamente, eu proponho um novo algoritmo distribuÃdo de controle de potÃncia baseado em maximizaÃÃo da utilidade que à capaz de equilibrar eficiÃncia espectral e energÃtica, enquanto leva em consideraÃÃo a seleÃÃo de modo e restriÃÃes na alocaÃÃo de recursos inerentes à integraÃÃo do ambiente celular-D2D. Os resultados numÃricos mostram que comunicaÃÃes D2D em mÃltiplos saltos combinadas com o algoritmo de controle de potÃncia proposto sÃo Ãteis nÃo apenas para colher os potenciais ganhos identificados na literatura, mas tambÃm para estender a cobertura de redes celulares.
The increasing demand for fast multimedia services and the scarcity of electromagnetic spectrum has motivated the research of technologies able to increase the capacity of wireless systems without requiring additional spectrum. In this context, Device-to-Device (D2D) communication represents a promising technology. By enabling direct and low-power communication among devices, D2D communication leads to an increased and intelligent spatial reuse of radio resources allowing to offload the data transport network. As a result, the overall system capacity and specially the spectral efficiency is increased; and the proximity between devices allows data transfer with low delays and high rates without requiring extra power from devicesâ batteries. However, in order to realize the potential gains of D2D communications as a secondary network of the cellular (primary) one, some key issues must be tackled. Assuming that the communicating devices are aware of each other, the actual link (channel) conditions must be evaluated. If beneficial, Radio Resource Management (RRM) techniques would be employed so that the co-channel interference caused in cellular devices would be mitigated. Such techniques may be summarized as: grouping, mode selection, and power control. In this thesis, I focus my attention on the RRM for D2D communications underlaying a Long Term Evolution (LTE)-like network, and the main RRM techniques to mitigate the co-channel interference. Aiming at the reduction of the intra-cell interference and at the improvement of spectral efficiency, I formulate a joint grouping and power allocation problem. However, due to its complexity I propose suboptimal methods to group cellular and D2D User Equipments (UEs) with the goal of minimizing intra-cell interference, taking into account spatial orthogonality between the UEs that share the same resources. In addition, I analyze methods to decide if D2D-capable UEs should communicate directly to one another or in the conventional way via the Evolved Node B (eNB). The results show that D2D communications can improve the spectral efficiency of the system and that most of this improvement can be achieved by suitably grouping the UEs for sharing resources based on successive orthogonal projections and matching different spatial compatibility metrics. Moreover, in this thesis I argue that D2D technology can be used to further increase the spectral and energy efficiency if the key D2D RRM algorithms are suitably extended to support network assisted multi-hop D2D communications. Specifically I propose a novel, distributed utility maximizing power control (PC) scheme that is able to balance spectral and energy efficiency while taking into account mode selection and resource allocation constraints that are important in the integrated cellular-D2D environment. The analysis and numerical results indicate that multi-hop D2D communications combined with the proposed PC scheme can be useful not only for harvesting the potential gains previously identified in the literature, but also for extending the coverage of cellular networks.

Full textValet av tillståndsmodell, dvs. hur tillståndet hanteras i en applikation, är en viktig del av applikationsutveckling. I det här examensarbetet undersöker vi hur körtidens prestanda påverkas när man hanterar ett delat tillstånd med hjälp av en relativ tillståndsmodell jämfört med att använda en global tillståndsmodell, i en komponentbaserad ensideapplikation. För att jämföra de två tillståndsmodellerna gjordes två implementationer av en enkel applikation med samma funktionalitet, men som hanterar applikationstillstånd på två olika sätt. Två experiment som vardera fokuserar på en enda dimension av applikationsstrukturen gjordes för att jämföra skriptprestanda för implementeringarna under tillståndsuppdateringen. Resultaten visade att tillståndsmodellerna påverkar skriptprestandan, men att det var beroende på applikationens struktur. I experiment 1 visade den globala tillståndsmodellen en mycket större prestandaminskning jämfört med den relativa tillståndsmodellen när många komponenter var beroende av tillståndet. Observationer av ”reconciliation”-processerna visade att orsaken till prestandaskillnaderna berodde på icke-optimiserade synkrona DOM-mutationer introducerade av komponenterna som använde det globala tillståndshanteringsramverket. I experiment 2 visade den relativa tillståndsmodellen emellertid en sämre prestandaminskning för en djup komponentstruktur än den globala tillståndsmodellen, men jämfört med föregående det experimentet var skillnaden liten. Sammantaget tyder resultaten från den här studien på att körningsprestanda kan vara en faktor att beakta när man väljer tillståndsmodell för en applikation. Applikationsstrukturen, inklusive applikationens komplexitet, påverkar emellertid vilken tillståndsmodell som är att föredra och i vilken utsträckning den påverkar skriptprestandan och därmed realtidsprestandan.

Full textSince the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 and the Global Financial Crisis of 2007, members of the Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN) have sought to strengthen ASEAN’s regional economies through a digital trade project known as the ASEAN Single Window (ASW). The purpose of this case study was to explore the business strategies that multinational organizational leaders used to overcome business barriers while implementing ASEAN partnership contracts and ASW region-wide projects. This study may be unique in that, at the time of this research, there was no published study in which researchers had explored a single window for a vast, multination geographical region. Data collection was done via in-depth interviews with ASW executives, studying online ASW-related conferences, and examining relevant strategic documents. A 6-phase thematic analysis process based on methodological triangulation corroborated the data and addressed construct validity through data familiarization, generating initial coding, categorizing codes and searching for themes, breaking codes into subcategories, data reduction and defining and naming themes, and report generation. The 4 strategic themes that emerged were business models and processes, public–private partnerships, project management methodologies, and overlapping themes. The findings offer insights into ways to overcome the ASW’s constraints and barriers. These strategic themes developed into a list of critical success factors and a summary list of principle business strategies and best practices. The implication for social change is a regionally collaborative trading environment providing potential economic options that not only impede the deterioration of the regional social fabric but support new opportunities such as trade liberalization and economic stability.

Commercial flight operations have seen the consistent reduction of flight crew from five to two over the past several decades. As technology improves and airplanes become increasingly capable of flying themselves, this trend of crew reduction can be expected to continue. Single pilot operations in commercial air transport presents a range of benefits and challenges, some of which are explored in this thesis. While there has been some discussion of the concept of having a single pilot operate a complex aircraft, including an announcement by a regional jet manufacturer of their intent to realize the concept in the first half of the next decade, it is seen that there is a need to define architectures and compare them in different operational contexts. This examination of architectures is conducted by identifying high level concepts or architectural decisions mentioned in the literature reviewed thus far, and creating an architectural space containing the possible constrained combinations of architectural divisions. The architectural space is represented as a safety versus cost trade space, wherein different architectural combinations are compared against present day operations. An attempt is also made to identify possible off nominal situations and the ability of the different architectures to deal with them. Safety is studied primarily as a function of pilot workload, which is identified by studying the movement of flight operations processes from the first officer, who is eliminated. Cost in this context is regarded as a combination of acquisition costs and operating costs. The former is quantified by identifying likely changes in system complexity, while the latter is a combination of crew and new infrastructure costs. Moving to SPO requires taking into account the operating context. The analysis indicates that different classes of aircraft - widebodies, narrowbodies, and regional jets - have different levels of benefits and costs in moving to SPO. Capabilities of automation needs to improve drastically before the second human in the flight deck can be replaced, and this is borne out by the dominance of human centered concepts in the trade space. The analysis also indicates that regional aircraft may be prime candidates to move to SPO first, as most regional architectures generate positive savings.

Full textSingle mothers are commonly characterized as low-income welfare recipients. In 2010, close to 30% of single mother households were below the poverty line (U.S. Census Bureau, 2010a) conversely leaving 70% of single mothers above the poverty line. Being a married working mother is challenging and comes with the need of several supports. With the growing divorce rate and the introduction of women choosing to become single mothers, the numbers of single working mothers are growing rapidly. In order to be a successful single mother certain factors need to be accounted for. This study focused on single mothers who are in high profile professional positions and looked at what supports it took; both internally and externally, to sustain their situations. Some highly regarded, prestigious positions that fell into this category include, but are not limited to, school administrators, writers/authors, successful entrepreneurs, attorneys, doctors, professors, upper level managers/supervisors, and executive directors. Also, this study looked at character traits of the identified mothers to see if there was an inner predisposition that positions them to be able to thrive in difficult situations. The findings suggest that in order for single mothers to succeed they need to establish a strong support network, have a flexible career and demonstrate strong leadership skills ranging from a Lazier Fair approach to a transformative one with a strong mentoring influence and affinity.
The results from this study indicate that this population identified as resilient, passionate, and focused about their professional and personal lives. These single mothers are motivated by a high level of passion for both their work, and parenting their children, including providing a comfortable lifestyle and rich involvement in their children’s lives. Their use of support varied and formed a naturally occurring continuum spanning from “no support”, to “support is essential”. This population reported their relational style either increased or decreased in their willingness to seek out and accept assistance from others. In leadership style, this group of single mother professionals scored extremely high in having tendencies towards Transformational leadership and surprisingly, even higher in having tendencies towards Laissez-faire leadership.

Full textThe Single Audit Act (SAA) of 1984, as amended in 1996, encourages sound financial management by those who receive federal funds. Single audits are designed to help the federal government protect and safeguard federal funds by exercising proper oversight of non-federal entities’ expenditures of federal grant monies. Consistent with the provisions of the SAA, auditors function as chief agents of federal control to enhance accountability between the federal government and the nonfederal recipients of federal grant awards. Auditors’ reporting of single audit findings provides the opportunity to take actions that hold recipients of federal grant awards accountable for spending of federal funds. The study consisted of an examination of auditors’ perceptions, based on lived experiences, of how the reporting of single audit findings affects non-federal entities’ ability to receive federal grant awards subsequent to the issuance of single audit reports in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Circular A-133 and Uniform Guidance. The researcher used qualitative research method and Moustakas’ transcendental phenomenology research design to purposefully select a sample of 20 certified public accountants with at least 3 years of experience in single audits from the population of licensed certified public accountants who performed single audits in the state of New Mexico and were approved by the New Mexico State Auditor Office as independent public accountants for governmental entities in New Mexico. The researcher used the modified Van Kaam analysis method to analyze data collected in the interviews of research participants. This study sought to understand how auditors experience the effectiveness of the SAA as an accountability mechanism for the federal government to oversee expenditures of federal grant awards by non-federal grantees and found that federal grant making agencies do not affect consequences to non-compliant recipients of federal grant awards in response to reported single audit findings.

Full textHintergrund: Fortschritte in der Diagnostik und Therapie von Krebserkrankungen haben in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu einer steigenden Inzidenz von Hirnmetastasen geführt. Die chirurgische Entfernung singulärer und multipler Hirnmetastasen stellt neben Strahlentherapie, Radiochirurgie und Chemotherapie eine zentrale Therapieoption dar. Um die Wertigkeit der chirurgischen Behandlung von singulären Hirnmetastasen mit/ohne Ganzhirnbestrahlung (WBRT) und den Einfluss der Neuronavigation zu untersuchen, wurden 104 Patienten retrospektiv bezüglich ihres postoperativen «Outcomes» untersucht. Patienten und Methoden: Zwischen Januar 1994 und Dezember 1999 wurden 150 Patienten mit Hirnmetastasen in der Klinik für Neurochirurgie der Technischen Universität Dresden operiert. Das «Outcome » von 104 Patienten konnte bezüglich der verschiedenen Behandlungsstrategien und Überlebenszeit ausgewertet werden (69 Patienten mit singulären und 35 Patienten mit multiplen Läsionen). Ergebnisse: Die meisten Metastasen stammen von Lungen- und Mammakarzinomen. Nach operativer Behandlung verbesserte sich der Karnofsky-Index um durchschnittlich 10. Das Ausmaß der extrazerebralen Tumormasse stellte die Haupteinflussgröße für die Überlebenszeit dar. Ein Lebensalter unter 70 Jahren war mit einer verlängerten Überlebenszeit verbunden (mittlere Überlebenszeit, MÜZ: 4,5 Monate vs. 7 Monate). Patienten mit solitären Metastasen hatten eine MÜZ von 16 Monaten, während Patienten mit singulären Läsionen, abhängig vom Ausmaß des extrazerebralen Tumorwachstums, eine MÜZ von 7 bzw. 4 Monaten aufweisen. Eine zusätzliche postoperative WBRT mit 30 Gy zeigte eine Verbesserung der MÜZ bei Patienten mit singulären Hirnmetastasen (OP + WBRT: MÜZ 13 Monate; OP allein: MÜZ 8 Monate). Gleichzeitig war die Rate der zerebralen Tumorrezidive in der Nicht-WBRT Gruppe deutlich höher. Die postoperative Überlebenszeit wurde durch Verwendung der Neuronavigation nicht signifikant verbessert. In 80% der Patienten limitierte das extrazerebrale Tumorwachstum die Überlebenszeit. Fazit: Bei Patienten mit singulären und multiplen Metastasen stellt die initiale chirurgische Tumorentfernung eine Therapiealternative insbesondere bei großen Tumoren (> 3 cm) dar. Eine postoperative WBRT scheint die ÜLZ der Patienten mit singulären Hirnmetastasen durch Begrenzung des Auftretens von Rezidivtumoren zu verlängern. Die Neuronavigation erlaubt eine gezielte Zugangsplanung. Multiple Prozesse können einzeitig operiert werden, ohne dass die postoperative stationäre Verweildauer verlängert wird. Hingegen wird eine radikale Tumorentfernung durch Verwendung der Neuronavigation nicht gewährleistet

Full textStrategic sourcing has long been utilized by organizations to maximize budget and supply chain efficiency, usually through leveraged buying, but also through the formation of strategic partnerships with suppliers. When considering leveraged buys, the strategic sourcing process begins with a spend analysis, and the data obtained during the analysis is used by stakeholders to begin defining requirements. Traditional spend analysis restricts the data used in the spend analysis process to basic transactional information, and does not considered corporate social responsibility objectives as part of the strategic sourcing process. This research modifies an existing spend analysis process framework, and applies the framework in a case study that uses additional data points to identify opportunities to allow an organization to simultaneously achieve both strategic purchasing and social responsibility objectives. The study also examines strategic healthcare purchasing in a single source environment, and combines best practices developed using decentralized purchasing strategies by healthcare facilities and successful buyer-supplier relationships from multiple industries to create a process map for hospital systems transitioning to strategic centralized purchasing models. Systems engineering frameworks, process modeling, regression analysis, and cross functional process maps are used in this study’s analysis. (Abstract shortened by ProQuest.)

Full textThe importance of entrepreneurship has been widely acknowledged by many scholars, however, there is an argument that entrepreneurship tends to pose a unique dilemma with management accounting – a part of management control in organizations. The purpose of this paper is to find a solution for the apparent conflict between management accounting and entrepreneurship through a single case study of Litium – a new economy firm operating in information technology industry. The study of Litium reveals that a simple and solid management accounting is an effective way in order to keep management accounting in harmony with entrepreneurial spirit. This finding goes in line with the suggestion of loosely coupled management control in new economy firms by Lukka and Granlund (2003).
The paper reviews various relevant literatures so as to build a collected framework about management accounting in new economy firms. The framework then provides a guideline for empirical findings and analysis part. We acknowledged that the studies of Lukka and Granlund (2003), Granlund and Taipaleenmaki (2005), Lovstal (2001) and Morris, Allen, Schindehutte, and Avila (2006) are very useful for studying management accounting in new economy firms where entrepreneurship is highly emphasized. In addition, life-cycle perspective is also valuable to understand thoroughly the practice of management accounting in new economy firms. In accordance with the topic and the purpose of our case study, we recognized that qualitative research method is most suitable. Moreover, the interview – one type of qualitative methods – was chosen as a main tool for colleting data in our study since it can provide the authors with important insights into a situation and use-ful shortcuts to the prior history of the situation

Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics operates a centralized equipment cleaning and preparation suite at a vaccine production facility in Marburg, Germany. The ~100 pieces of multi-use stainless steel, glass, and plastic equipment prepared at this centralized pretreatment suite all need to be disassembled, cleaned, reassembled, sterilized, shipped, and tracked. This highly complex cycle is problematic because of the coordination cost, possibility of assembly errors, and lack of operational flexibility. Additionally, the multi-use assemblies were designed as long as 20 years ago, and newer, more reliable alternatives exist. The goal of this project is to evaluate the hypothesis that replacing multi-use assemblies with single-use assemblies will reduce production risk and costs of goods sold of vaccines by reducing operational complexity. To understand the impact of adopting single-use assemblies, the one-time cost of switching (e.g. regulatory filings, validation studies, operational costs) are weighted against the potential for operational savings and risk reduction or transfer to vendors. The current-state variable costs and risks are evaluated with a cost model that accounts for variable equipment cost, operator cost, autoclave cost, and washer costs. Future state variable costs are determined through a request for proposal ("RFP") process with vendors. Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics had previously conducted failure mode and effect analyses ("FMEA's"), and the critical and potentially critical risks affected by adopting single-use assemblies were reassessed. It is possible to reduce the complexity of pretreatment operations with single-use assemblies. Adopting the four of the assemblies studied in this project would reduce the number of components processed in a year by 40% and the number of unique components by 10%. Many critical or potentially critical risks, such as labeling, assembly, sterilization, transportation, and storage of assemblies will be transferred to third-party vendors. Because these vendors specialize in the production of single-use assemblies, they can invest in more costly capital equipment and processes such as higher class clean rooms and gamma sterilization. Some single-use assemblies will have a lower variable operating cost, while others will increase operating costs. Thus, new assemblies fall into three categories in a decision making framework: 1) Reduced risk and cost, 2) Pay for risk reduction, and 3) Continue with current state. Assemblies in categories 1 and 2 should be modernized from multi-use to single-use, while assemblies in category 3 should remain multi-use.

Full textThis study seeks to determine the payer source for single, elderly women in nursing homes. By determining the payer source for single, elderly women, the next generation of women can prepare for high nursing home costs by saving earlier or investing in long-term care insurance. Studies have shown the primary payer sources for nursing home costs are Medicare and Medicaid. This study hypothesized single women, when compared to married women, would utilize Medicaid and welfare to pay for nursing home costs. Secondary data from the 2004 National Nursing Home Survey was extracted and analyzed for the aforementioned hypotheses. The analysis determined the primary payer sources for elderly women in nursing homes were self-pay and Medicaid. Marital status did not have an impact on the payer sources for single, elderly women in nursing homes when compared to married women.

mer Kirca September 2011, 102 pages In this thesis, we study the single machine scheduling problem. Our general aim is to schedule a set of jobs to the machine with a goal to minimize tardiness value. The problem is studied for two objectives: minimizing total tardiness value and minimizing total weighted tardiness value. Solving optimally this problem is difficult, because both of the total tardiness problem and total weighted tardiness problem are NP-hard problems. Therefore, we construct a heuristic procedure for this problem. Our heuristic procedure is divided to two parts: construction part and improvement part. The construction heuristic is based on grouping the jobs, solving these groups and then fixing some particular number of jobs. Moreover, we used three type improvement heuristics. These are sliding forward method, sliding backward method and pairwise interchange method. Computational results are reported for problem size = 20, 40, 50 and 100 at total tardiness problem and for problem size = 20 and 40 at total weighted tardiness problem. Experiments are designed in order to investigate the effect of three factors which are problem size, tardiness factor and relative range of due dates on computational difficulties of the problems. Computational results show that the heuristic proposed in this thesis is robust to changes at these factors.

Full textFör att möta efterfrågan på framtida byggkrav och för att förbättra produktiviteten och konkurrenskraften finns det ett behov av att modernisera och revidera nuvarande tillvägagångssätt inom träsmåhusindustrin. I flera andra sektorer arbetas det intensivt med att anpassa sig till den förväntade fjärde industriella revolutionen. Tillverkningsindustrin har redan påbörjat sin omvandling med koncept som smart manufacturing och Industry 4.0. Hittills har smart manufacturing inte diskuterats i någon större utsträckning för träsmåhusindustrin, även om det kan vara ett sätt för denna industri att förbättra produktiviteten och konkurrenskraften. Forskningen som presenteras i denna avhandling syftar till ökad kunskap om vad smart manufacturing innebär för träsmåhusindustrin. Detta kräver undersökning av vad smart trähustillverkning är, vilka utmaningar som kan vara förknippade med det och hur smart trähustillverkning kan realiseras. Kärnan i denna uppsats är begreppsframställningen av smart trähustillverkning—när det realiserats förväntas det bidra till att förbättra konkurrenskraften för träsmåhusindustrin. Resultaten som presenteras här är baserat på tre forskningsstudier. Två studier var fallstudier inom träsmåhusindustrin. Den tredje studien var en traditionell litteraturstudie. Resultaten avslöjade två definitioner och 26 komponenter av smart träshustillverkning. Sammanfattningsvis betonar smart trähustillverkning digital transformation med fokus på digitalt informationsflöde, hur man lägger till information, sammanställning av information och informationsfördelning mellan system / program och avdelningar. Några av utmaningarna associerade med smart trähustillverkning är t.ex. kultur, kompetens och manuell överföring av information mellan system. Resultaten indikerar likheter mellan smart träshustillverkning inom vissa komponenter av industriellt husbyggande och Industry 4.0, dessa komponenter skulle kunna möjliggöra realiseringen av smart trähustillverkning.
