Complexity management for video encoders.
… and decoders is limited by computational complexity. This thesis presents research work to develop techniques to manage computational complexity of video encoders. These techniques aim to provide significant complexity saving as well as adaptively controlling the computational complexity. …

A multi-axis approach to complexity management
A high degree of complexity exists in the product, processes, organization and supply chain at HIGHVOLT Prüftechnik GmbH, subsidiary of Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen. The current state complexity results from unique market dynamics, the highly technical nature of the solutions offered and customer …

Complexity management of H.264/AVC video compression.
… standards. However, the high computational complexity of H. 264/AVC is a problem for codecs running on low-power hand held devices and general purpose computers. This thesis presents new techniques to reduce, control and manage the computational complexity of an H. 264/AVC codec. A new …

Complexity management through product portfolio cost modeling and optimization
A significant amount of complexity exists within the brand and product portfolios of PharmaCo. This complexity is driven by several factors: first, medical needs for differing products and dosages; second, marketing requests for new configurations of current product offerings; third, unique …

A Method for Visualizing the Structural Complexity of Organizational Architectures
… systems must become increasingly complex. While complexity management traditionally focuses on a product’s components and their interconnectedness, organizational representation in complexity analysis is just as essential. This thesis addresses this organizational aspect of complexity through an …

Impact of product design choices on supply chain performance in the notebook computer industry
… transition resulting in much higher supply chain complexity, management cost, and inventory cost. In addition, simple modeling approaches are developed and utilized for this study that can be leveraged in the future to quantify possible product strategy impacts on the industry supply chain. They …

Management to facilitate compliance with global conventions during hazardous and toxic waste cleanup projects in Asia
The management of hazardous and toxic waste projects in Asia (especially that related to intractable chemicals) has had a less than acceptable performance profile during the last 20 years. There have been numerous documented cases of management and systems failures in intractable chemical recovery …

Structural complexity and its implications for design of cyber-physical systems
… in terms of schedule and cost performance. The complexity of technical systems depends on the quantity of different elements and their connectivity, i.e., complexity means a measurable system characteristic. There are three main dimensions of complexity that emerged in the context of system …

Multidisciplinary methods for performing trade studies on blended wing body aircraft
… between discipline analyses and the increasing complexity of such systems. An important component of MDO is effective exploration of the design space since this is often a key driver in finding characteristics of systems which perform well. However, many design space exploration techniques scale …

Study of Product Line Complexity, Supply Chain Coordination, and Phase III New Drug Development
… and material waste generated by the product line complexity of a particular production run. These regression models can then be used to estimate the complexity costs imposed on the system of any particular product or customer order. Such cost estimations can be used to properly price customer …

Roles of Information Technology in Supply Chain Management
… is a key enabler of effective supply chain management (SCM) activities. In 2013, $300 billion was spent on SCIT by firms globally, an increase by 1.8% and 3.8% compared to 2012 and 2011, respectively. With such significant investments, firms face risks of eroded financial performance if SCIT …

Ambiguity in Public Organizations - Is it always Negative and Difficult to Manage or does Theory Assume Too Much?: A Case Study Review of Customs and Border Protection's Container Security Initiative
… strategically engage ambiguity and translate the complexity associated with ambiguity to manageable objectives to control complex work within federal programs. A central assumption for this study is that ambiguity is an organizational reality due to the social nature of administrative systems, …
