(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The 737 program is currently producing 42 airplanes per month and will increase that production rate to 47 per month by 2017 and 52 per month in 2018 [1] [2]. In order to help meet these rates Boeing plans to increase the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The space industry is currently at a significant inflection point. New economies are forming in low- Earth orbit (LEO), driven by miniaturization of technologies and the promise of lower launch costs, which should then ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)This study explores the experience of students during the implementation of a design-based wilderness education curricula. I introduce the concept of a curriculum that combines the pedagogies of design-based learning and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Engineering Systems, such as offshore petroleum exploration and production systems, generally require a significant amount of capital investment under various technical and market uncertainties. Choosing appropriate designs ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)A Neighborhood Power Producer business solution, which aggregates customers and therefore employs economies of scale, is one solution to the energy access issue of most developing economies. In this approach, entrepreneurs ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Engineering Systems Division, 2012-01)This project has at least two facets to it: (1) advancing the algorithms in the sub-field of bibliometrics often referred to as "text mining" whereby hundreds of thousands of documents (such as journal articles) are scanned ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis uses an innovative approach to explore the much-analyzed U.S. Healthcare system. To be sure, we are fully aware of the challenges involved in making robust system level policy recommendations and how local ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The U.S. Navy designs and operates the most technologically advanced ships in the world. These ships incorporate the latest in weapons technology, phased array antennas, composite structures, signature reduction, survivability, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) through carbon dioxide (CO₂) sequestration from anthropogenic sources has been gaining attention in policy circles. In particular, it is viewed as a potential way to help accelerate the deployment ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Historically, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) involved visually or acoustically observing a structure and if damage was detected, remedial action was undertaken to repair or replace it. For example, as early as 6,500 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Engineering Systems Division, 2014-06)Extant literature lacks established frameworks or methods that can be used to evaluate a supply chain strategy. In this paper we present a type-independent approach to evaluate a business unit's supply chain strategy as a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Systems Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) is a powerful new hazard analysis method designed to go beyond traditional safety techniques-such as Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)-that overlook important causes of accidents like ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)As the competitive wholesale cost of bandwidth continues to plummet in Kenya, last-mile networks have become a bottleneck in the extension of affordable broadband outside major cities. In this work we explore the business ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Engineering Systems Division, 2014-07)Dematerialization is the reduction in the quantity of materials needed to produce something useful over time. Dematerialization fundamentally derives from ongoing increases in technical performance but it can be counteracted ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Engineering Systems Division, 2001-08)The modest purpose of this paper is to review the concept of flexibility as discussed in various fields of investigations, and to extract its characteristic features. In order to discuss any subject matter clearly, it is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)River flood and rainfall have been shown to exhibit scale invariance behavior over a range of space and time scales. Although various approaches have been taken to investigate and model the various scaling aspects of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Intel's Colorado Springs wafer fabrication facility, known internally as F23, has undertaken several initiatives to reduce cycle time including High Precision Maintenance (HPM), content reduction through the application ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis proposes a practical approach to defining flexible design and development strategies for maximizing the expected value of engineering systems. Specifically, the approach deals with the fact that it is generally ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Natural disasters such as the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that hit Japan in 2011 can have catastrophic effects on businesses. This type of unexpected event can cause millions of dollars in damages, lost sales and can ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Capturing CO2 from air, referred to as Air Capture, is being proposed as a viable climate change mitigation technology. The two major benefits of air capture, reported in literature, are that it allows us to reduce the ...
