Operations improvement in a semiconductor capital equipment manufacturing plant : component level and assembly level inventory management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Semiconductor capital equipment is manufactured in a high-mix and low-volume environment at Varian Semiconductor Equipment business unit of Applied Materials. Due to the demand growth over the past years, Varian has been ... -
Operations improvement in a semiconductor capital equipment manufacturing plant : resource optimization, labor flexibility, and inventory management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)A semiconductor capital equipment manufacturing plant is a high-mix low-volume manufacturing environment where the complex products produced requires skilled manual assembly and expensive raw materials. The semiconductor ... -
Operations improvements through non=value-added step reduction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis demonstrates how factories can use the Value Stream Mapping method to reduce both direct and indirect labor cost components through a non-value-added step reduction. The principal objective of this internship ... -
Operations in complex-oriented cohomology theories related to subgroups of formal groups
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
Operations management in a large online retailer : inventory, scheduling and picking
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Online retail has grown rapidly in the last decade. Consumers enjoy the convenience of online shopping and home delivery, as well as a vast product assortment. From the business perspective, serving customers directly from ... -
Operations manual for student-team-built hybrid power source to recharge an Unmanned Undersea Vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs) have the potential to explore and monitor oceans in unprecedented ways, but their present batteries only allow them to operate for days at a time. A team of students designed and built a ... -
Operations on lexical forms : unaccusative rules in Germanic languages
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986) -
An Operations Research approach to aviation security
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, aviation security policy has remained a focus of national attention. We develop mathematical models to address some prominent problems in aviation security. We explore ... -

Operator-adapted finite element wavelets : theory and applications to a posteriori error estimation and adaptive computational modeling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)We propose a simple and unified approach for a posteriori error estimation and adaptive mesh refinement in finite element analysis using multiresolution signal processing principles. Given a sequence of nested discretizations ... -
Operator-adjustable frame rate, resolution, and gray scale tradeoff in fixed-bandwidth remote manipulator control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
An operator-customized wavelet-finite element approach for the adaptive solution of second-order partial differential equations on unstructured meshes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a widely popular method for the numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations (PDE), on multi-dimensional unstructured meshes. Lagrangian finite elements, which preserve C⁰ continuity ... -
OPM model-based integration of multiple data repositories
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Data integration is at the heart of a significant portion of current information system implementations. As companies continue to move towards a diverse, growing set of Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) applications to fulfill ... -
The opportunistic green : building on Toronto's utility corridor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)The Green Line or hydro corridors of Toronto are sprawling lengths of continuous, mostly vacant land used for the primary purpose of transmitting electricity. They are unusual terrain, physically sparse but culturally ... -
Opportunistic infrastructure : the Trans-Manhattan Expressway
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Urban Infrastructure: bridges, expressways, and on and off ramps often create barriers and uninhabitable spaces within the urban context. This phenomenon is evident in northern Manhattan where the Trans-Manhattan Expressway ... -
Opportunistic routing in multi-hop wireless networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis describes ExOR, an integrated routing and MAC protocol for bulk transfers in multi-hop wireless networks. ExOR exploits the broadcast nature of radios by making forwarding decisions based on which nodes receive ... -
Opportunistic sensing and mobile data delivery in the CarTel System
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Wide-area sensor systems enable a broad class of applications, including the fine-grained monitoring of traffic congestion, road surface conditions, and pollution. This dissertation shows that it is possible to build a ...
