(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Dramatically increasing the hourly workforce at a rapid pace to support accelerated product demand in an aircraft manufacturing facility in a short amount of time resulted in: (1) increased rework, and (2) increased part ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Mobile application ('apps') development is a recent pandemic phenomenon; companies that are not associated with mobile technologies are noticing it and want to develop their own mobile apps. However, these companies do not ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)New technologies such as distributed generation and electric vehicles are connecting to the electricity distribution grid, a regulated natural monopoly. Existing regulatory schemes were not designed for these new technologies ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The development of increasingly complex, innovative systems under greater constraints has been the trend over the past several decades. In order to be successful, organizations must develop products that meet customer needs ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Taxiing aircraft contribute significantly to the fuel burn and emissions at airports. This thesis investigates the possibility of reducing fuel burn and emissions from surface operations through a reduction of the taxi ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis' fundamental research question is to evaluate the structure of the hydrogen production, distribution, and dispensing infrastructure under various scenarios and to discover if any trends become apparent after ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Freight vehicle capacity, whether it be road, ocean or air transport, is highly underutilized. This under-utilization presents an opportunity for companies to reduce their vehicular traffic and reduce their carbon footprint ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The recent developments in retail industry created a challenging environment for companies in the sector and their trade partners. Retailers' focus on recovering their financial results through eliminating unproductive ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis aimed to understand the drivers of total transportation costs during supply chain complexity events, in particular new product launches, in a fast moving consumer goods company in the United States. The research ...
-
A model to design a stochastic and dynamic ground delay program subject to non-linear cost functions (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)When inclement weather reduces the arrival capacity of a busy metropolitan airport, it may lead to significant airborne delays. Delaying aircraft in the air consumes additional fuel, increases overall air traffic congestion, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Today, approximately 884 million people lack access to an improved drinking water (WHO and UNICEF, 2008). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), contaminated water and poor sanitation cause 30,000 deaths worldwide ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)After the end of World War II, the world entered an even more turbulent period as it faced the beginnings of the Cold War, during which the prospect of mutually assured destruction between the world's largest nuclear weapon ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Agencies that fund research shape both the rate and direction of scientific progress through the resource allocation choices they make. However, our understanding of the degree to which scientists respond to shifts in that ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Remotely piloted aircraft and the people that control them are changing how the US military operates aircraft and those who fly, yet few know what "drone" operators actually do, why they do what they do, or how they shape ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Natural hazards, human-induced accidents, and malicious acts have caused great losses and disruptions to society. After September 11, 2001, critical infrastructure protection has become a national focus in the United States ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Survivability is the ability of a system to minimize the impact of a finite-duration disturbance on value delivery (i.e., stakeholder benefit at cost), achieved through (1) the reduction of the likelihood or magnitude of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)(cont.) market. The method is also used to extract quantitative evidence indicating the existence of enterprise-related attributes for consumer value in products. Marking the first independent review of the loss function-based ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The development of a domestic biofuel industry has been a major policy thrust of the United States federal government in the first decade of the 21st century. Cellulosic biofuels have been identified as the primary candidate ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The ability for crew members to perform spacewalks is an essential component of human spaceflight. Spacewalks are absolutely crucial for planetary exploration because they enable astronauts to explore their environment, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Processes in manufacturing, services, and healthcare are complex socio-technical systems composed of intricately sequenced activities supported by elements drawn from multiple domains. While many of these processes offer ...
