Повний текст джерелаA substantial portion of resource costs incurred by data centers relate to energy costs, with cooling energy and equipment powering energy accounting for a major fraction. Other major costs incurred by data centers, is due to huge data transmission volume and resultant network bandwidth consumption. In this dissertation, we study problems inspired by the needs to reduce energy consumption and network bandwidth billing costs in data centers.
A significant amount of data center cooling energy is wasted due to thermal imbalance and hot spots. In order to prevent this, the workload should be scheduled in a thermally aware manner based on the overall thermal profile, since machine temperatures depend on local load as well as on neighboring machines' load. We define 'effective load' that captures this spatial cross-interference and analyze different models for: 1) maximizing the profit of scheduled jobs under a cooling energy budget, for which we give ½ − O(ε) approximation algorithms; 2) minimizing the maximum temperature when all jobs have to be scheduled, for which we give a 2-approximation algorithm and a 3-competitive online algorithm for a single rack of machines, where the factors approach 4/3 and 2 respectively as the cross-interference decays.
Servers consume energy while running; hence, shutting down some will reduce the costs. We consider two problems which study this in literature: active time and busy time, the goal being minimizing the total 'on' time of machines. In active time, we have access to a single machine whereas in busy time, number of machines allowed is unlimited. Machines have bounded capacity and jobs have release times, deadlines and lengths. For active time, we show a minimal feasible solution is 3-approximate and give a 2-approximation algorithm via LP rounding. For busy time, we give a 3-approximation algorithm which improves the 4-approximation, and analyze the preemptive problem also.
Data centers need to transmit a huge volume of data daily which results in high network bandwidth costs. Frequently, ISP's charge for Internet use either based on the peak bandwidth usage in any slot in the billing cycle, or according to some percentile cost. We provide an optimal offline algorithm for the percentile problem when jobs can have variable delay. For the online problem of minimizing peak bandwidth, we study small values of delay in a discrete time setting and give much better lower and upper bounds than the best known bound of e that holds when delay allowed is arbitrarily large and time is continuous.

Повний текст джерелаBackground. Nursing assistants, working in long–term care facilities, have consistently been among the top occupational groups experiencing work-related musculoskeletal injuries. These injuries have been attributed the physical demands of lifting and moving the individuals in their care. Great strides in research have identified successful risk reduction strategies such as the implementation safe patient handling and mobility programs. The benefits of these programs have been advocated over the last two decades, but the rate of injuries among nursing assistants continues to be more than double the national average for all other industries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of safe patient handling and mobility policies and procedures, facility resources, and work practices on the trends in injury rates and the associated costs in long-term care facilities.
Methods. Thirty-eight facilities contributed information to the study. Data were gathered on safe patient handling policies, facility resources, work practices, work-related injuries and workers’ compensation costs for 2002 – 2011.
Results. Eighty-four percent of the facilities had patient handling policies or were preparing to implement in the upcoming year. All of the facilities had mechanical lifting devices, employee training and procedures for embedding safe patient handling into daily work practices. Nineteen facilities contributed one to ten years of data, showing injury rates decreased 63% from 2002 – 2011. Eleven facilities provided worker’s compensation information showing medical and indemnity costs decreased 54% from 2006 – 2011. The presence of a policy, was not found to independently influence these factors. The number of days away from work due to work-related injuries was significantly lower in facilities with patient handling policies. Conclusion. The presence of the policy was not found to independently influence injury rates or costs, but the prevalence of safe patient handling policies, mechanical lifting devices and safe work practices suggested that a safety culture may finally be present in long-term care. Despite the impressive reductions in injuries and costs, the continued higher than average rate of injuries among this occupational group may indicate that other factors now play a greater role in work-related injuries.

In the first part, we study the problem of minimizing a separable concave function over a polyhedron. We assume the concave functions are nonnegative nondecreasing on R+, and the polyhedron is in RI' (these assumptions can be relaxed further under suitable technical conditions). We show how to approximate this problem to 1+ E precision in optimal value by a piecewise linear minimization problem so that the number of resulting pieces is polynomial in the input size of the original problem and linear in 1/c. For several concave cost problems, the resulting piecewise linear problem can be reformulated as a classical combinatorial optimization problem. As a result of our bound, a variety of polynomial-time heuristics, approximation algorithms, and exact algorithms for classical combinatorial optimization problems immediately yield polynomial-time heuristics, approximation algorithms, and fully polynomial-time approximation schemes for the corresponding concave cost problems. For example, we obtain a new approximation algorithm for concave cost facility location, and a new heuristic for concave cost multi commodity flow. In the second part, we study several concave cost problems and the corresponding combinatorial optimization problems. We develop an algorithm design technique that yields a strongly polynomial primal-dual algorithm for a concave cost problem whenever such an algorithm exists for the corresponding combinatorial optimization problem.
(cont.) Our technique preserves constant-factor approximation ratios as well as ratios that depend only on certain problem parameters, and exact algorithms yield exact algorithms. For example, we obtain new approximation algorithms for concave cost facility location and concave cost joint replenishment, and a new exact algorithm for concave cost lot-sizing. In the third part, we study a real-time optimization problem arising in the operations of a leading internet retailer. The problem involves the assignment of orders that arrive via the retailer's website to the retailer's warehouses. We model it as a concave cost facility location problem, and employ existing primal-dual algorithms and approximations of concave cost functions to solve it. On past data, we obtain solutions on average within 1.5% of optimality, with running times of less than 100ms per problem.

To calculate the cost of materials involved and generation rates and proportion on HG/U, Surgery by specialty, location of generation and segregated groups. It´s a descriptive exploratory research, a quantitative approach in the form of case study . This place was the SC (surgery center) of Hospital Universitário da USP. Considering the number of surgeries performed in the last four years, we calculated the probabilistic stratified sample with sampling power of 95%. The final sample was made from 1120 surgeries average. During data collection, the subprocesses of RSS-based classification of RDC 306/04 of Anvisa were mapped. The residues were weighted daily for 82 days with the help of 8 collectors considering the point of generation and the gorup of RSS. To measure cost, was described subprocesses of RSS and we identified the executors, drawed flowcharts, rose the quantities and the cost of materials involved, we identified the drivers of NR surgeries and calculated each process. RSS DC represented 6,38% compared with total production of HU-USP. The most representative group was A-infective (50,62%) and the percentage of recycled waste D was 19,26%, which is higher than hospital (10,34%). A representative for the local generation was: operation room (55,93%), REC (4,02%) of not recycable area of support (11,55%). Evaluated the inference that means were HTE buccal maxillary surgery followed by gynecological, highest producers of RSS. The average generation of waste by surgery was 3,72 pounds. The cost of 1 kgrs: the A group: (R$ 1,10), B group: (R$ 5,70), recycled group D (R$ 0,96), D group not recycled (R$ 1,01) and E group (R$ 3,23). Thus, the total average cost per surgery was R$ 8,64. R$ 5,52 which corresponds to operation room. The share of other points of generation: R$ 0,53 REC, R$ 0,48 of ordinary residues, R$ 2,09 / recycled and NOT recycled materials from ordinary area of support. It follows the total weight of the RSS sample that is 8.102,64 kgrs and total cost of R$ 9.679,88 and we mapped the entirely process that generates an annual projection of 36.066,63 kgrs with the average f daily generation 98.812 kgrs daily and an annual cost of R$ 43.087,27 with an average cost of R$ 118,04 per day.

Improving the efficiency within a distribution center by reducing waste and optimizing process flow can result in significant cost savings regarding distribution center operation. One area with a large potential for improvement is outbound order packaging. Shipping costs are calculated based on package weight or volume, whichever results in a higher cost. With a finite number of box sizes stocked and available in the distribution center to package orders, some orders will inevitably be shipped in a box that is larger than needed to accommodate the SKUs inside. However, if a custom sized box could be made for every order, then the average box volume per order, and in turn the shipping cost, is reduced. This thesis details an integration plan and impact analysis for adding custom box-making technology to a current packing process flow. It compares the cost, sustainability, and throughput benefits to other solutions such as introducing padded envelopes as a packing option or creating algorithms to assist packers in choosing the most economical stock box while packaging an order.

Повний текст джерелаEste trabalho avalia o desempenho do sistema de custeio em vigor numa grande empresa portuguesa. O sistema atual, em que os custos indiretos de produção são alocados aos objetos de custo com base num único fator de alocação, é avaliado por comparação com um sistema mais sofisticado, onde os custos indiretos são agregados por diferentes tipo de custo e afetos aos objetos de custo por múltiplos fatores de alocação. Este trabalho revelou que, quando a análise é feita ao nível do produto/ família de produtos, o sistema de custeio em vigor introduz distorções de custo não desprezíveis. O uso de um fator de alocação único, baseado no volume de horas consumido, quando aplicado a um portfolio de produtos muito diferentes, em estágios muito diferentes do ciclo de vida, ou seja, com necessidades muito diferentes de investimento e suporte, conduz a distorções significativas no cálculo de custo e, por consequência, de lucro. As conclusões deste trabalho sobre a forma como a estrutura de alocação de custos impacta na rentabilidade dos produtos servirão de base a uma remodelação do sistema de custeio. As primeiras alterações, em avaliação para serem introduzidas em 2020, são a valorização dos custos associados a máquinas e a imputação do custo de engenharia.
This study assesses the performance of the costing system in place in a large Portuguese company. The current cost system, which allocates indirect manufacturing costs to cost objects via a single cost driver, is evaluated by comparison to a more sophisticated system that uses multiple cost pools and several cost drivers. This study shows that when the analysis is done at the product/ product family level, the current costing system introduces non-negligible cost distortions. The use of a single cost allocation base (incurred labor hours), applied to a very different product portfolio, in very different stages of the life cycle, i.e. with very different investment and support needs, leads to significant distortions in the product cost calculation and, therefore, in product profitability. The conclusions of this study regarding how the cost allocation structure impacts product profitability will be the basis for a cost system redesign. The first changes under evaluation to be introduced in 2020 are the valuation of machine costs and the assignment of engineering costs.

This report creates a financial view of billets at Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic (FRCMA). FRCMA is the largest Intermediate Maintenance Facility in the U.S. Navy. FRCMA provides maintenance and repair support to aviation squadrons, and is staffed by military, civilian, and contract employees. This report conducts an analysis of direct and indirect costs to build a wage comparison between a military, contractor, and civilian wage employee. This analysis uses a single pay grade comparison. All available direct and indirect costs are aggregated, and these costs are traced as accurately as possible to each billet. An analysis of various accounting methods for cost tracing and allocation is conducted, along with the methods for tracing and allocating indirect and direct costs to each comparative pay category. A focus on labor costs and overhead allocation is included, along with an analysis of appropriation categories.

Повний текст джерелаData centers (DC) are being built around the world to provide various cloud computing services. One of the fundamental challenges of existing DC is to design a network that interconnects massive number of nodes (servers)1 while reducing DC' cost and energy consumption. Several solutions have been proposed (e.g. FatTree, DCell and BCube), but they either scale too fast (i.e., double exponentially) or too slow. Effcient DC topologies should incorporate high scalability, low latency, low Average Path Length (APL), high Aggregated Bottleneck Throughput (ABT) and low cost and energy consumption. Therefore, in this dissertation, different solutions have been proposed to overcome these problems. First, we propose a novel DC topology called LCT (Linked Cluster Topology) as a new solution for building scalable and cost effective DC networking infrastructures. The proposed topology reduces the number of redundant connections between clusters of nodes, while increasing the numbers of nodes without affecting the network bisection bandwidth. Furthermore, in order to reduce the DCs cost and energy consumption, we propose first a new static energy saving topology called VacoNet (Variable Connection Network) that connects the needed number of servers while reducing the unused materials (cables, switches). Also, we propose a new approach that exploits the correlation in time of internode communication and some topological features to maximize energy saving without too much impacting the average path length

As online retailing - or e-tailing - continues to grow as more and more customers buy physical goods on the internet, finding ways to reduce the cost and environmental impact of outbound shipping in this sector will become increasingly important. We investigate the impact of making poor fulfillment and replenishment decisions using data obtained from a large American online retailer. Then, we propose implementable - i.e., computationally tractable and relatively intuitive - solutions for both the fulfillment and replenishment problems, both tested either on actual data from our industrial partner or on small but realistic models. We first focus on the fulfillment problem, namely, deciding from which warehouse(s) to fulfill a customer's order when several options exist. We propose a heuristic that utilizes the dual values of a transportation linear program to estimate the opportunity cost of depleting inventory from a warehouse. This linear program values inventory at a warehouse due to both its geography and the size of its catalogue. After showing that this linear program is asymptotically optimal - using concepts developed in airline network revenue management - we then test the heuristic on industry data, showing a 1% reduction in outbound shipping costs as compared to a myopic fulfillment policy. The last part of the thesis focuses on replenishment. Every period, for each item, the network places an order to restock all the warehouses. Complicating this decision are two factors. First, the orders will not arrive immediately, but rather require a lead time to be delivered. During this time a random number of customers will place orders with the network. Second, any customer's order may be filled from any warehouse, which becomes important when warehouses stock out of an item. Therefore, it is not trivial to calculate the optimal inventory to order to each warehouse. We show that using a standard replenishment policy - popular in practice - can lead to dynamics that result in increased outbound shipping costs. We propose a replenishment policy heuristic that is intuitive and performs well on examples. This heuristic has two variants: a simpler one that assumes deterministic demand, and a more complicated one that accounts for stochasticity.

Real estate owned by non-real estate firms represent a substantial portion on most corporate balance sheets, yet they are often being overlooked with a lack of investment strategy and treated as the necessary evil for operating the core businesses. Corporate real estate generally involves activities such as long-term leasing, acquisition, in some cases ground-up developments, management, and disposal of real estate assets. Due to the long lasting nature of real estate, corporate real estate decisions are non-easily reversible. Different industries approach corporate real estate in ways that best support their operational needs. This paper quantitatively compares the relationship between the share price, occupancy costs per employee, and net income during the period 1999 to 2013 for U.S. Fortune 500 financial and technology companies. The first part of the paper explains our data collection methodology. We collected share prices and extracted data from 10-k filings submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The extracted data consists of firm gross revenue, net income, total full-time employee number, plant, property equipment (PPE), real estate PPE, rental expense, and occupancy costs. The derivation of occupancy costs is also explained in this part. The second part studies the relationship between share price, occupancy costs, and net income for the two sectors. Consistent with our expectations, there is positive and significant correlation between share price and net income for both sectors. On the contrary, the market punishes technology firms for higher occupancy costs per employee but not as much for financial firms. The third part of the paper examines the relationship between occupancy costs and net income per employee. Contrary to common belief that occupancy costs per employee would negatively affect the net income generated by each employee, we discover a positive correlation between the two which we believe is a result of reversed causality.

Повний текст джерелаIn the management of material resources the importance of waste is emphasizes, which is described as all products/services absorbed in an inefficient and ineffective mode; and as it adds no value to them, they must be minimized an/or eliminated. The objective of this research is to a) identify all types and quantity of consumable material in surgeries, which were utilized, returned/sent back, or wasted during the intra surgery period; b) classify the waste as avoidable or inevitable when the materials were unwrapped and not utilized; c) measure the cost of the wasted material on surgical proceedings and d) calculate the index of waste material in HU-USP Surgical Center. This is a descriptive and investigative case study with quantitative approach. For the data collection, we used a form divided in two parts, one for raising the real consumption of material and the other for waste material. The sample was composed by 105 types of hospital and medical consuming material which were addressed to 275 surgery observed between Feb and May 2011. The results showed that the most used and recoiled/returned material have been surgical gloves and disposable syringes; the most wasted items were Surgeries threads, Surgical cotton thread, 45x45cm, 7.5x7.5cm and 30x30cm compress gauze. Above all, the item most wasted material was Surgical thread on average of 1.3 unit by surgeries. The cost of the utilized materials was R$ 133.730,30; the cost of total waste R$ 709,84, where R$ 327,48 were avoidable and R$ 382,36 were inevitable. Therefore the average of the percentage on waste in this sample was 9.34% where 1,23% were avoidable and 8.14% inevitable. Thus, it is assumed that the real waste was 1.23%. The lack of studies on the subject does not allow for comparisons, but the content presented may be considered low for a university hospital

Повний текст джерелаThe thesis is divided into three parts. The first part is devoted to performance evaluation in functional departments. It describes the strategic importance of these departments, defines their role and the nature of their contribution to the achievement of the organization's general goals. This first part then analyses the concept of performance, showing the specific difficulties of this problem in functional departments and suggests a performance evaluation model designed for functional activities. The second part of the thesis addresses the subject of discretionary activities, as covered in management control literature. It proposes a definition and a typology of these activities. An analysis of the various processes and models of control suggested for these activities and of the available performance evaluation methods leads to a hypothesis relating the various characteristics of the discretionary activities to specific listed methods. The third part presents the results of two empirical studies; one of them was a survey addressed to controllers; the second study consisted of interviews of either controllers or functional managers. Both studies describe performance evaluation systems and practices in functional departments in companies operating in France, as well as the respondent’s perception of the problem
