Business case assessment of unmanned systems level of autonomy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
The federal government has continually increased its spending on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) during the past decade. Efforts to drive down UAV costs have primarily focused on the physical characteristics of the UAV, ...
The Limits of Analytics During Black Swan Events A Case Study of the Covid-19 Global Pandemic
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)
During statistically unlikely events (Black Swan events) analytical models fail to provide their expected level of fidelity: their error can increase by several hundred percent. The modern economy is built on such analytical ...
AI in the Cath Lab: Implications of Clinical AI-Enabled Assistance for Intravascular Ultrasound Procedures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)
Clinical decision support tools enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) are entering the medical field slowly, emerging into a space not yet fully regulated by the FDA and with unclear impacts to both medical professionals ...
Industry 4.0 in Biomanufacturing: Predictive Real-Time Models Using Process Analytical Technology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)
In biomanufacturing, process analytical technology (PAT) has become an essential tool for improving product quality, reducing costs, and increasing efficiency. In this thesis, we collect capacitance and optical density ...
Analysis of Respiratory Time Series Data for Breathing Discomfort Detection Prior to Sleep Onset During APAP Therapy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)
Discomfort during treatment continues to be a major barrier to adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. Thus, a key pillar of ResMed’s business strategy is to deliver intelligent tools that assist healthcare ...
Using optimization and lean principles to design work cells and make capital purchase decisions for hole drilling operations in turbine airfoil manufacturing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Classical manufacturing work cells have machines to perform each operation in the process, the number of each type of machine being chosen so that all machines would be equally busy. Although design of work cells for ...
Design for implementation : redesigning a planning process in a multinational company
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
As a consumer-packaged-goods company dealing with multiple suppliers, "Company X" (the company's real name has been disguised) has a clear need for an accurate raw material forecast. The current planning process has not ...
Quantifying the impact of customer allocations on supply chain performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
This project investigates the impact that customer allocations have on key cost and service indicators at Intel Corporation. Allocations provide a method to fill orders during constrained supply, when total demand for a ...
An approach to strategic capacity planning using information visualization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Forward thinking in reverse : design, implementation, and continuous monitoring of a closed-loop supply chain using optimization, simulation, and dashboard systems to maximize net recovery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
Developed during our recent six-month engagement at Dell-a leading computer manufacturer and services provider with one of the world's leading supply chains--we discuss a network flow-based mixed-integer linear program ...
