Science to support toxics governance : tracking mercury and other pollutants from policy to impacts (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Persistent and bioaccumulative toxins like mercury pose unique challenges for environmental governance. The complexity of their movement through coupled social, technological, and natural systems can make it difficult to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Large-scale, complex engineering systems, as for automotive manufacturing, often require significant capital investment and resources for systems configuration. Furthermore, these systems operate in environments that are ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis considers the problem of achieving better system performance through adaptive experiments. For the case of discrete design space, I propose an adaptive One-Factor-at-A-Time (OFAT) experimental design, study its ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Environmental regulations are typically portrayed as an outside force stimulating development of environmental technologies in regulated industries. In reality, firms influence regulation by communicating their technological ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This research is based on the well-known but seldom stated premise that the design of complex engineered systems is done by people -- each with their own knowledge, thoughts, and views about the system being designed. To ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This dissertation examines the creation and initial use of the precision bombing system employed by the United States Army Air Forces during World War II in the opening phase of the Combined Bomber Offensive against Germany. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)There is a growing realization that stakeholder involvement in decision-making for large- scale engineering systems is necessary and crucial, both from an ethical perspective, as well as for improving the chances of success ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Air Force development of new or evolutionary weapon systems is a complex endeavor due to the involvement of many stakeholders and the presence of considerable uncertainty in the acquisition environment. The ability to adapt ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In 2009, the Government Accountability Office reported that two-thirds of major weapon systems acquisition programs were required to report budget overruns and were almost two years behind schedule for delivery of capability ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)An important question for a large company with multiple product development projects is how standard or varied the sets of activities it uses to conceive, design, and commercialize products should be across the organization. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis has explored a new idea: viewing standards as interdependent artifacts and studying them with network analysis tools. Using the set of Internet standards as an example, the research of this thesis includes the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)In this thesis we present an analysis of the dynamics of industry-university relationships tracing the origin of the relationship and its changes over time as the firm's strategies evolve. We analyze the strategic trajectories ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)A critical element of the challenges and opportunities for today's large engineering projects are associated with the multi-type and networked relationships between these projects and their various stakeholders. This ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The cost of waste for products such as soft drinks, shelf stable dry food, and dairy in the consumer packaged goods industry is massive, about $15 billion annually in the U.S.A. This thesis focuses on waste associated with ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Most modern era software-enabled, electro-mechanical systems are becoming more complex as we demand more performance and better lifecycle properties (e.g. robustness) from them. As a consequence system development projects ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)There is no definitive blueprint for ending poverty and increasing prosperity across the globe, but the World Bank argues that inclusive economic growth is critical to achieving global development goals. This thesis focuses ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)We investigate the effectiveness of strategic alternatives that are designed to dampen the cyclicality manifest in the commercial aviation (CA)-related industries. In this research we introduce the conceptual framework of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A system architecture analysis and selection methodology is presented that builds on the Multidisciplinary Analysis and Optimization framework. It addresses a need and opportunity to extend the MAO techniques to include a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Many modern systems are so large that no one truly understands how they work. It is well known in the engineering community that architectural patterns (including hierarchies, modules, and abstraction layers) should be ...
