Optimization of labor allocation at a syringe production facility : design proposals
… the labor cost effectively without affecting the production capacity in order to stay competitive in the global context. A method used to design optimized labor allocations is outlined. Labor tasks were first categorized based on skill levels to form new job scopes. Following which, two new labor …

Is comprehension necessary for error detection? A conflict-based account of monitoring in speech production
… posits that the comprehension system monitors production output for errors. Such a comprehension-based monitor, however, cannot explain the double dissociation between comprehension and error-detection ability observed in the aphasic patients. We propose a new theory of speech-error detection …
