(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Semiconductor manufacturing is a highly complex and re-entrant process. In a fabrication facility, hundreds of decisions are made during a production shift regarding how shared tool capacity will be prioritized. These ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Humans have been making music for millennia, yet the processes of developing existent musical instruments and even inventing new ones are ongoing as technology advances and tastes change. Many recent developments have been ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Production systems such as the CONWIP (constant work-in-process) pull production system have been widely studied by researchers to date. The CONWIP pull production system is an alternative to pure push and pure pull systems ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Pharmaceutical company SPM has over 400 cases of inventory discards over the past five years which constitute a significant operating cost. Due to the complexity and randomness of each case, the root causes that result in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Keppel Fels produces make-to-order oil exploration rigs for the global market. Each rig requires close to 6000 metric tons of steel in the course of its production. Optimal management of this steel is very critical in this ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis is a description of an internship project at an aerospace parts distribution company. The goal of the project was to reduce inventory by applying a pull ordering system to the distributor's value chain. The ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The efficacy of hyperthermia therapy can be enhanced if a thermal management system is available for therapy planning, delivery and evaluation. The integrated thermal management system is not yet available, though some ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The first part of this thesis is concerned with the solution structure determination problem. Whereas many biomacromolecules, such as proteins, can be adequately characterized by a single conformation in solution, numerous ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A study was performed to determine possible factors that contribute to successful implementation of new technologies in developing nations. Engineers and other inventors have devoted great effort to Appropriate Technology ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The permeability of reverse osmosis membranes is limited by the diffusive transport of water across a non-porous polyamide active layer. Alternatively, fabricating a microporous active layer capable of rejecting salt ions ...
