(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis presents a new modeling framework and research methodology for the study of engineering systems. The thesis begins with a formal conceptualization of Engineering Systems based upon a synthesis of various ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)An effective supply chain is critical to the success of the products and services sold by companies. Companies must have an explicit understanding of what the supply chain strategy is in order to evaluate it. While most ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The 3.9G and 4G are the promising high-speed wireless technologies. With more companies from different industries, a new business environment will arise in years to come. The complex nature of interaction with other ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Technical integration between companies can result in an increased risk of information security breaches. This thesis proposes a methodology for quantifying information security risk to a supply chain participant. Given a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Access to straightforward yet robust tools to quantify the impact of renewable energy resources on air emissions from fossil fuel power plants is important to governments aiming to improve air quality and reduce greenhouse ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Humanity is currently on an unsustainable path of growth and development. One tool to address sustainability in industrial activities is Industrial Symbiosis, which is the study of cooperation across industry boundaries ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Technology infusion and policy implementation bring impacts to the trade space of complex engineering systems. This work describes in detail the frameworks for quantitative analyses on these impacts, demonstrates their use ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Climate change researchers are often asked to evaluate potential economic effects of climate stabilization policies. Policy costs are particularly important because policymakers use a cost/benefit framework to analyze ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)A large consumer package goods company would like to know the answer to the following question. What is the value to its customers of increased delivery frequency or reduced lead time? To answer this question, we collected ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This thesis focuses on the transportation sector and its role in emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and conventional pollutant emissions. Specifically, it analyzes the potential for hydrogen based transportation, introducing ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Despite growing interest and concern surrounding transboundary movements of used electronics around the world, there is a dearth of data on their movements. Although a multitude of different data sources exist, coherent ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Alternative methods for cost estimation are important in the early conceptual stages of a design when there is not enough detail to allow for a traditional quantity takeoff estimate to be performed. Much of the budgeting ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis presents an experimental methodology for objective and quantitative design procedure evaluation based on anticipated lifecycle performance of design concepts, and a procedure for flexible design concept generation. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Since the phasing-out of the High Density Rule, access to major commercial airports in the United States has been unconstrained or, in the case of the airports of New York, weakly constrained. This largely unregulated ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Radiation therapy is an important component of pediatric brain tumor treatment. However, radiation-induced damage can lead to adverse long-term health effects. Proton therapy has the ability to reduce the dose delivered ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis reviews the current logistics processes and issues for container shipments in the supply chain. In particular, the problems associated with container shipments from China to the US, via the Hong Kong Port, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)As applications of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) become more profuse, the technology itself is stirring up some controversy. Due to its potential for amassing large amounts of information about both people and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Radio frequency identification (RFID) has an enormous potential impact within the semiconductor supply chain, especially within semiconductor manufacturing. The end benefit of RFID will be in the mass serialization, and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless technology that can be used to track inventory labeled with microchip-embedded identifiers communicating passively with scanners without operator involvement. This ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)DTS is an oil and gas services company that delivers drilling tools to six major customer districts in the continental U.S. After the tools are used at a rig, they are transported to the closest repair and maintenance (MTC) ...
