Budget Slack
The definitions of budget slack found in existing literature are inconsistent and insufficient for empirical research. Therefore, a definition of budget slack is proposed and it is set forth in terms which are operational and useful for empirical research. Budget slack is defined from the …

Routing and scheduling models for robust allocation of slack
… airline schedules. In this work, we investigate slack allocation approaches for robust airline schedule planning. In particular, we propose three models: aircraft re-routing model, flight schedule re-timing model, and block time adjustment model, together with their variants. Using data from an …

Simulated Response of Degrading Hysteretic Joints With Slack Behavior
… permitted to be drilled oversize resulting in a slack system. The model consists of five parts. A new mathematical hysteresis model describes the stiffness of the individual bolt at each time step increment and accounts for non-linear and slack behavior; a mechanically-based structural stiffness …

Wetwang Slack : an Iron Age cemetery on the Yorkshire Wolds.
… which was excavated by the writer at Wetwang Slack on the Yorkshire Wolds between 1975 and 1979. The chief features which make this site exceptional are the large number of inhumation burials involved (446), the unusually good stratigraphical evidence for the relative chronology of the …

ANALYSIS OF SLACK TIME FOR A REAL-TIME RIDESHARE SYSTEM
… increase the reliability of transit systems, a slack time can be added to the passenger pickup schedule to increase the system stability and reliability. This thesis focuses on a driver-passenger system, modeling three objective cost functions using similar steps and assumptions. These modeled …

Utilizing slack time for aperiodic and sporadic requests scheduling in real-time systems
A real-time system typically has a mixture of periodic and aperiodic workload. Requests in each periodic task have regular arrival times and hard deadlines. Aperiodic requests, on the other hand, have random arrival times and may have hard or soft deadlines. We called these aperiodic requests with …

Organisational slack resources, the definitions and consequences for business flexibility and performance : an empirical investigation
Slack resources are recognised to be those spare capabilities and assets of the organisation that are variable reclaimable for re-deployment. They represent under utilised and hidden spare energies within a company that may be recaptured and employed for a variety of tasks. However their positive …

The relationship between internationalisation and firm performance in South Africa: the moderating role of slack resources
… significant gap in the literature regarding how slack resources moderate this relationship. This study aims to analyse the relationship between the degree of internationalisation and firm performance among South African firms. It also examines how absorbed and unabsorbed slack resources influence …

An examination of the relationship between financial slack and organizational strategy: a study in two industries
… premise of this model is that organizational slack moderates the contingent nature of strategy formation. When slack is high, the model predicts that strategy will be based on management values and that a loose fit will occur between structure and context. When slack is low, however, the …

The effects of budget emphasis, budgetary participation, trust and organisational commitment on job related tension and propensity to create slack : Empirical evidence from Norway
… affect subordinates' propensity to create slack and job related tension differently. Second, it examines whether a high budget emphasis-high participation combination results in lower subordinates' propensity to create slack and lower job related tension than a low budget emphasis-high …

Rescheduling of Airline Pilot Training Activities Following Disruptions
… collected. Analysis performed on the amount of slack in the original schedule revealed that diminishing returns were observed beyond a certain level of slack. Further analysis on the impact of the location of this slack showed that the majority of the slack should be placed at the end of the …

Glulam beams strengthened with pre-stressed basalt fibres
… each group the beams were either reinforced with slack basalt fibres, pre-stressed basalt fibres or with no reinforcement for comparison. The reinforcement ratio of the basalt fibres was about 0,45% of the beams cross section for both slack and pre-stressed beams. The pre-stressing was done with …
