Cross-trained workforce planning models
… receiving substantial attention in workforce planning literature, a number of challenges towards making the best use of cross-training remain. Most notably, approaches to automating the allocation of workers to their skills are typically not scalable to industrial sized problems. Secondly, …

Forecast-driven tactical planning models for manufacturing systems
Our work is motivated by real-world planning challenges faced by a manufacturer of industrial products. In the first part of the thesis, we study a multi-product serial-flow production line that operates in a low-volume, long lead-time environment. The objective is to minimize variable operating …

Development of operations based long range network capacity planning models
Planning for vaccines manufacturing capacity is both a complex task requiring many inputs and an important function of manufacturers to ensure the supply of vaccines that prevent life-threatening illnesses. This thesis explores the development of an operations based long range capacity planning …

Stochastic propagation and planning models for broadband fixed wireless access links
… scattered field. In comparison to deterministic models, such as ray-tracing that require intensive computations and detailed (millimetric resolution) knowledge of topographical data that are almost impossible to obtain, the proposed model is rather efficient and yields accurate …

Trade-off analysis of accuracy and spatial resolution in strategic forest planning models
… polygons into blocks in strategic forest planning models. In this study, a sensitivity analysis on spatial generalization was conducted to examine the trade-off between accuracy and spatial resolution to meet the objectives of strategic planning. Five scenarios were designed by …

An Open-Source Computational Framework for the Scalable Application of Electrification Planning Models
… spatially explicit computational electrification planning tools. The tools automate the delineation of potential modes of electrification (grid extension, mini-grids, and stand-alone solar systems) across all customers, at the lowest cost. My thesis aims to expedite universal electrification by …

Strategic Planning Models and Approaches to Improve Distribution Planning in the Industrial Gas Industry
… tanks. We propose two alternative mathematical models to explore the possibility and potential benefits of allocating multiple tanks at designated customer site that have the capacity to accommodate more than one tank. In a case study with 20 customers, allowing multiple tank allocation yield …

Use of Advanced Techniques to Estimate Zonal Level Safety Planning Models and Examine their Temporal Transferability
Historically, the traditional planning process has not given much attention to the road safety evaluation of development plans. To make an informed, defensible, and proactive choice between alternative plans and their safety implications, it is necessary to have a procedure for estimating and …

The impact of prescriptive planning models on preservice English teachers' thought and on the classroom environments they create: an ethnographic study
In recent years, naturalistic studies of planning have shown the "hidden side of teaching," pictures of the ways teachers think before and after they enter the classroom. Few, however, have shown how prescriptive planning models impact on teacher thought and the classroom environments the they …

The Implementation of an Integrated Transportation Planning Model With GIS and Expert Systems for Interactive Transportation Planning
… possible benefits of combining transportation planning models with geographic information systems (GIS) and expert systems (ES) in the hope that integrating these systems can alleviate the inherent problems of transportation planning models such as user-unfriendliness, labor-intensiveness, and …

Planning Practices of Administrators in Continuing Higher Education
… a growing awareness of the need for effective planning. As the topic of planning has gained prominence, so have discussions of strategic planning. It is frequently presented to continuing higher education administrators as a means of defining organizational mission and goals and achieving …

Power and Science in Participatory Watershed Planning: A Case Study From Rural Mexico
… assumptions that participatory watershed planning models are based upon. Contrary to the claims of participatory watershed planning, consensus-based decision-making did not result in meaningful participation, inclusion of all legitimate ""stakeholders"", or improvements in river …

An Integrated Framework For Configurable Product Assortment Planning
… customers. While the literature on assortment planning is growing in recent years, it is primarily aimed at non-durable retail and grocery products. In this study, we develop an integrated framework for strategic assortment planning of configurable products, with a focus on the highly complex …

Connecting the continents. Power system modelling and capacity building for detailed assessments of global power sector decarbonization pathways
… feasibility of scenarios coming from long-term planning models. The methodological open source soft-link framework presented here is carefully designed to respond to known limitations of Integrated Assessment Models in a manner that allows for iterative model coupling to pinpoint and improve key …

Evaluating service mitigation proposals for the MBTA Green Line extension construction delay using simplified planning methods
… are explored including area wide transportation planning models, direct demand (regression) models and comparison equations. A rail elasticity of demand with respect to service is calculated based on a prior MBTA system experience, while elasticities from literature are used for buses. In …

The making of an Eco-City : an examination of the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City as a new model of transnational new town development
… practice and references to circulating planning models, ideas and practices are no longer restricted to a unidirectional flow originating in the West as aspirational cities from the formerly colonized world have emerged. In recognition of these emergent centers, I focus on the …

Land Use Planning after a Natural Disaster
… ten years or more. Many contend that recovery planning can be ordered, knowable, and predictable and that the destruction of buildings and displacement of the population provide an opportunity to build back better. This thesis examines the complexity of recovery through the lens of land use …
