An investigation into the applicability of neural networks to multi-performance measure dispatching in a dynamic, single machine shop
… machine shop where the achievement of multiple performance measures is desired. There has been relatively little research done in this area so the objectives center around the determination of information and parameters which lead to improved network performance with respect to learning as well …

A study for the introduction of EVA (Economic Value Added) as a management performance evaluation system in Korea
… thesis focuses on finding a proper management performance evaluation measure that is fit well for sustainable wealth creation for shareholders, right decision-making of Korean companies and describing some introduction procedure strategies that should be considered when a Korean company wants …

Effects of starting conditions and output data collection for simulation
… the simulation issues of starting conditions and performance measure data collection. These issues are discussed in the context of a specific production system simulation model. The production system modeled was a modified flow shop at the International Business Machines Corporation, Federal …

Investigating the Impact of Liquidity on Profitability of Commercial Banks in Botswana
… models, whilst Return on Assets is the primary performance measure. For robustness check, Return on Equity is used as a supplementary financial performance measure. The empirical evidence concluded that there is a statistically significant negative relationship between liquidity and …

A Consistent Design Sensitivity Analysis Formulation for Systems With History-Dependent Response
… with respect to design parameters of a given performance measure which generally can be cast in the form of a functional. The functional typically exhibits both explicit dependence and implicit dependence (via the response) on the design. Sensitivity analysis is used in structural …

The impact of cultural distance on the management style and performance of Japanese and Taiwanese joint ventures with local partners in China
… conflict resolution strategies, role stress, and performance) by the perspectives of parent firms and IN general managers. A conceptual model explores the relationships between the three dimensions (i. e. three party's perspectives, four approaches of performance measure, and long-term …

Comparative Study of the Impact of Compliance with Corporate Governance Regulations & Internal Governance Mechanisms on Financial Performance of Listed Firms in Africa
… corporate governance regulations on financial performance of listed firms in South Africa and Nigeria. Firm-level data for the study was collected manually and triangulated with Datastream dataset for 100 listed firms for the period 2010–2014 (500 firm-years) in South Africa and 80 listed firms …

Analytic Evaluation of the Expectation and Variance of Different Performance Measures of a Schedule under Processing Time Variability
… into account the impact of uncertainty on the performance of the system on hand. This uncertainty, or variability, is of considerable importance in the scheduling of production tasks. A scheduling problem is primarily to allocate the jobs and determine their start times for processing on a …

A Robust Reactive Scheduling System with Application to Parallel Machine Scheduling
… activities with the objective of optimizing one performance measure or more. Resources may be machines in a factory, operating rooms in a hospital, or employees in a company, while activities can be jobs in a manufacturing plant, surgeries in a hospital, or paper work in a company. The goal of …

An investment center vs. a profit center: Capital investment under informational asymmetry
… of the division. We show that an accounting performance measure has a limited informational role for delegation in the sense that a cost involved in controlling the manager's incentives in relation to his private information for delegation is so high under certain conditions that an …

Computer simulation and analysis of production line with two unreliable full batch machines and a finite buffer
… The steady-state overall production rate is the performance measure that is used to compare systems. The effects of buffer size, repair rate, and machine size on the production rate; the conditions of ergodicity; and the differences between the deterministic model and the exponential model are …

Simulation-based optimization of Markov decision processes
… a single sample path, so as to improve a given performance measure. As possible performance measures, we consider the weighted reward-to-go and the average reward. The corresponding algorithms(a) can be implemented online and update the parameter vector either at visits to a certain state; or at …

An Analysis of the Two-Machine Static, Stochastic Flowshop With Linear Completion Time Costs
… total penalty cost for all the jobs. This performance measure is more complicated and more complete than that used in all the previous analytical, stochastic, multi-machine, flowshop studies; namely, the expected schedule length. The expected total penalty cost for all the jobs is a …

Design of robust feedback control laws for high-dimensioned systems
… the behavior of the controller is described by a performance measure and numerically optimized. A second method, based on continuation maps, allows several performance criterion to be met. These performance measures are quite general in nature; they may be functions of eigenvalues, eigenvectors, …

Achievement Motivation in African American College Students
… investigated the relationship between academic performance and stereotype threat (ST), achievement motivation, and racial socialization for African American (AA) students at an historically black university. Participants were 108 students randomly assigned to high or low ST condition. Students …

Single video performance analysis for video-on-demand systems
… with fixed heavy-tailed video demand. The performance measure is the amount of server load; we wish to minimize the total download rate for all users from the server and maximize the rate from caches. Our approach reduces the analysis for multiple videos to consideration of decoupled …

Exergy Methods for the Generic Analysis and Optimization of Hypersonic Vehicle Concepts
… is compared to a more traditional based measure by applying both to the synthesis/design and operational optimization of a hypersonic vehicle configuration comprised of an airframe sub-system and a propulsion sub-system consisting of inlet, combustor, and nozzle components. A number of …

Mathematical modeling of membrane filtration
… fouling of the filter, which in turn degrades performance. This hypothesis is investigated by developing a simplified model for the flow and fouling within a pleated membrane filter. The model accounts for the pleated membrane geometry (which affects the flow), for porous support layers …
