Optimal distillers distribution planning in an ethanol supply chain

Iqbal, Qamar (Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2008-04-25)

The ethanol industry in the United States is expanding rapidly, consequently, the amount of coproducts called distillers feed is also expanding at a rapid rate. These distillers can be fed to cattle because they are ...
A Bayesian approach for verifying process improvement

Safaie, Nasser (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)

This research is an effort to introduce the Bayesian approach as a tool for evaluating process adjustments aimed at causing a shift to the process average. This is usually encountered in scenarios where the process is found ...
Identifying users' characteristics critical to product selection using Rough Set theory

Ahmady, Ali (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)

A consumer's purchase decision making process is very complex. It is obvious that the set of product functional features has a major role in the purchase decision. However, for a same product, users may have different ...
Impact of crane availability during the construction phase of the wind farm

Krishnamurthi, Ranjith Kumar (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)

The availability of the high capacity crawler cranes at the project site during the construction phase of the wind farm may help the turbine assembly rate, which may significantly vary due to the terrain at the project ...
Environmental sustainability: Metrics and definitions

Nezami, Farnaz Ghazi (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)

Corporate sustainability as a newly defined concept is based on five main pillars of environment, business excellence, innovation, governance and human contributions. Among these pillars, environment is an important one ...
A fuzzy multi objective model for a green generation expansion problem

Meza, Jose L. Ceciliano; Nezami, Farnaz Ghazi (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)

In this paper, a comprehensive fuzzy multi-objective model is presented for generation expansion planning problem considering uncertainty in objective functions and demand constraint. The purpose of the model is determining ...
A fully Bayesian approach for sample size determination

Safaie, Nasser (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)

The sample size determination plays a significant role in design and analysis of many engineering problems plus data sampling projects. There is a number of sampling techniques including both classical as well as Bayesian ...
Dynamic capacity apportionment procedure exposed to different business conditions

Santos-Pinzon, Jorge E. (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)

Revenue management (RM) is a methodology used to allocate resources in order to maximize revenue. Capacity allocation is one of the problems in RM when demand surpasses the available capacity. This problem is addressed by ...
Review on heat affected zone (HAZ) in laser machining

Abedin, Farhana (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)

Laser machining being a non-contact process possesses several advantages such as no tool wear or damage and no contact force induced problems. Laser cutting involves thermal process and it does not depend on the strength ...
