-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The development of complex products requires widespread knowledge interactions among a significant number of individuals and teams designing numerous interrelated components. Increasing product complexity typically leads ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The research contained in this thesis explores leading indicators of lean enterprise transformation in the aerospace industry, as part of the greater body of work associated with MIT's Lean Aerospace Initiative (LAI). ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This research examines the liability of storing CO2 in geological formations. There is a potential tortious and contractual liability exposure if stored CO2 is not fully contained by the geological formation. Using a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Designing a flexible system with real options is a method for managing uncertainty. This research introduces the concept of "complex" real options, which are composed of interconnected echnological, organizational and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Reaching saturation levels, many markets in modem industrial societies tend to fracture into smaller 'niche' markets, and create a need for greater variety. At the same time, increasing product variety in non-growing markets ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This dissertation addresses the issue of performance standards in developing nations, focusing on the role of local content requirements. It proposes a theoretical framework to understand the impact of this policy on the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)A framework for creating value robust systems in the face of changing value perceptions during the architecture and design of systems is proposed. Both unarticulated value, that which is not explicitly communicated to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The ever-increasing demand for access to the world's major commercial airports combined with capacity constraints at many of these airports have led to increasing air traffic congestion. In particular, the scarcity of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In the near term, efficiency improvements represent a key option for reducing the impacts of climate change. The growing awareness of climate change has increased the attention regarding the carbon emissions "embedded" in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)(cont.) To demonstrate its practical value in large-scale engineering systems, the research applied OPN to two space exploration programs and one aircraft design problem. In our experiments, OPN was able to significantly ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Committees of experts are critical for decision-making in engineering systems. This is because the complexity of these systems requires that information is pooled from across multiple specialties and domains of knowledge. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)A variety of events inside a firm and in its environment can motivate managers to rethink their supply chain strategy. However, the evaluation and reformulation of a firm's supply chain strategy is not a trivial problem, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Large engineering projects design, engineer and construct much of the world's energy, transportation and defense infrastructure. These large scale engineering endeavors are highly visible, have long lasting impacts and are ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Efforts to understand the determination of needs of new weapon systems must take into account inputs and actions beyond the formally documented requirements generation process. This study analyzes three recent historical ...
-
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)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)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 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A system dynamics model is developed and run to study the adoption of fiber-to-the-home as a residential broadband technology. Communities that currently do not have broadband in the United States are modeled. This case ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Clean energy technologies lower harmful emissions associated with the generation and use of power (e.g. CO2) and many of these technologies have been shown to be cost effective and to provide significant benefits to adopters. ...
