On the existence of joint production functions

Within a general framework of production correspondences satisfying a set of weak axioms necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a joint production function are given. Without enforcing the strong disposability of inputs or outputs it is shown that a joint production function exists if and only if both input and output correspondences are strictly increasing along rays.     

近似平面场景多视点图像拼接算法

以小型无人机对地观测为应用背景,研究了近似平面场景多视点图像拼接问题。对于已知粗略相机位姿的情况,提出一种融合相机位姿信息和图像特征点对应信息的方法,采用直接稀疏Cholesky分解方法求解拼接全局优化问题。由该方法得到的拼接结果没有全局变形,局部拼接误差也得到了明显的改善。对于相机位姿未知的情况,先采用structure-from-motion(SFM)方法恢复相机姿态和场景稀疏结构信息,再采用稀疏全局调整方法获得最终的图像变换参数。通过沙盘图像和真实的航拍图像拼接实验验证了算法的有效性。     

手绘非规则军标图形的结构化识别方法

在基于草图的态势标绘系统中,线状和面状军标图形通常是依具体地形、战况、意图等标绘的,没有规则的形状,难以采用基于表观的方法进行识别。针对这类手绘非规则军标图形提出了一种结构化识别方法,基于非规则军标图形集的特点定义了9种图元和4种图元间空间结构关系,将图形表示为图元向量和图元结构关系矩阵,通过匹配图元向量和图元结构关系矩阵来识别图形类别,并估计未知图形与模板图形之间的图元对应关系。实验结果表明:本文方法能有效克服图形形状变化的影响,对手绘的常用非规则军标图形的类别和图元对应关系具有较高的识别正确率和识别速度。

Optimal production growth for the machine loading problem

This paper investigates a production growth logistics system for the machine loading problem (generalized transportation model), with a linear cost structure and minimum levels on total machine hours (resources) and product types (demands). An algorithm is provided for tracing the production growth path of this system, viz. in determining the optimal machine loading schedule of machines for product types, when the volumes of (i) total machine hours, and (ii) the total amount of product types are increased either individually for each total or simultaneously for both. Extensions of this methodology, when (i) the costs of production are convex and piecewise linear, and (ii) when the costs are nonconvex due to quantity discounts, and (iii) when there are upper bounds for productions are also discussed. Finally, a “goal-programming” production growth model where the specified demands are treated as just goals and not as absolute quantities to be satisfied is also considered.

An optimum group maintenance policy

In this article we present an optimum maintenance policy for a group of machines subject to stochastic failures where the repair cost and production loss due to the breakdown of machines are minimized. A nomograph was developed for machines with exponential failure time distributions. The optimal schedule time for repair as well as the total repair cost per cycle can be obtained easily from the nomograph. Conditions for the existence of a unique solution for the optimum schedule and the bounds for the schedule are discussed.

Phosphate Rocks and Nuclear Proliferation

Phosphate rocks are predominantly mined for fertilizer production. However, they also contain considerable amounts of accompanying natural uranium that can exceed concentrations found at commercial uranium mines. Extracting uranium from phosphate rocks during fertilizer production is a technically mature process; it was used on an industrial scale in the United States and elsewhere before decreasing uranium prices made this practice unprofitable in the 1990s. Soon, technical improvements, potentially rising uranium prices, and anticipated environmental regulations may make uranium extraction from phosphates profitable again in the United States and emerging phosphate rock mining centers in Northern Africa and the Middle East. Extracting uranium during phosphate fertilizer production is desirable in a way that otherwise lost resources are conserved and fertilizers with reduced radiotoxic heavy metal content are produced. Phosphate rocks have also been subject to clandestine uranium acquisition. In this work, the relevance of unconventional uranium resources from phosphate rocks is reviewed. A brief overview of the extraction process, a list of the required materials, and a very simple estimation of the amounts of uranium that could be extracted using a container-sized pilot plant which can be integrated into existing fertilizer plants is provided. Lastly, past known unreported uranium extraction activities from phosphate rocks are discussed.     

The outfit planning problem: Production planning in shipbuilding

Shipbuilding as currently practiced in U.S. commercial shipyards employs little quantitative modeling or analysis in production planning. This paper presents a brief discussion of the shipbuilding process and focuses on one major component which is referred to as outfitting. The outfit planning problem is described in detail and then formally modeled as a generalization of the resource constrained project scheduling problem. The value of the approach as well as barriers to its adoption are also discussed.     

Tree-search algorithms for quadratic assignment problems

Problems having the mathematical structure of a quadratic assignment problem are found in a diversity of contexts: by the economist in assigning a number of plants or indivisible operations to a number of different geographical locations; by the architect or indusatrial engineer in laying out activities, offices, or departments in a building; by the human engineer in arranging the indicators and controls in an operators control room; by the electronics engineer in laying out components on a backboard; by the computer systems engineer in arranging information in drum and disc storage; by the production scheduler in sequencing work through a production facility; and so on. In this paper we discuss several types of algorithms for solving such problems, presenting a unifying framework for some of the existing algorithms, and dcscribing some new algorithms. All of the algorithms discussed proceed first to a feasible solution and then to better and better feasible solutions, until ultimately one is discovered which is shown to be optimal.     

The Pattern 1853 rifled musket — Genesis

Abstract

The fragmentary remains of a sixteenth century bronze gun discovered in Kilrenny, Scotland, are discussed. Although the recovered fragments comprise only a small proportion of the gun a consideration both of the findspot and the fragments together can provide a substantial understanding of the weapon when complete. Stylistically, the fragments are suggestive of a continental import intended to augment local production, and analysis suggests a poor choice of alloy on the part of the founder may have contributed to the weapon's destruction. The archaeological and historical landscape in which the fragments were found in turn offers a context in which to analyse the weapon's use and importance.     

Quality control and the sales process

Product quality is emerging as a major strategic instrument for competition. The purpose of this article is to assess the effects of quality control on sales, and, vice versa, the effects of the sales process on quality control. A model relating quality control and the sales process (advertising, repeat purchase, and word-of-mouth effects) is developed to evaluate the above relationships. Two special cases, with degenerate and beta distribution for defect items in the production lot, are analyzed in detail. In the former case, analytical results for the optimal quality control schemes are obtained, whereas in the latter, efficient bounds are derived to search for the optimal scheme. It is shown, analytically and numerically, that the sales parameters have significant impact on whether more “stringent” or “tighter” quality control is warranted. Future research directions are also discussed.

Periodic-review inventory models with inventory-level-dependent demand

Demand for some items can depend on the inventory level on display, a phenomenon often exploited by marketing researchers and practitioners. The implications of this phenomenon have received scant attention in the context of periodic-review inventory control models. We develop an approach to model periodic-review production/inventory problems where the demand in any period depends randomly, in a very general form, on the starting inventory level. We first obtain a complete analytical solution for a single-period model. We then investigate two multiperiod models, one with lost sales and the other with backlogging, whose optimal policies turn out to be myopic. Some extensions are also discussed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Optimal lot sizing and inspection policy for an EMQ model with imperfect inspections

An EMQ model with a production process subject to random deterioration is considered. The process can be monitored through inspections, and both the lot size and the inspection schedule are subject to control. The “in-control” periods are assumed to be generally distributed and the inspections are imperfect, i.e., the true state of the process is not necessarily revealed through an inspection. The objective is the joint determination of the lot size and the inspection schedule, minimizing the long-run expected average cost per unit time. Both discrete and continuous cases are examined. A dynamic programming formulation is considered in the case where the inspections can be performed only at discrete times, which is typical for the parts industry. In the continuous case, an optimum inspection schedule is obtained for a given production time and given number of inspections by solving a nonlinear programming problem. A two-dimensional search procedure can be used to find the optimal policy. In the exponential case, the structure of the optimal inspection policy is established using Lagrange's method, and it is shown that the optimal inspection times can be found by solving a nonlinear equation. Numerical studies indicate that the optimal policy performs much better than the optimal policy with periodic inspections considered previously in the literature. The case of perfect inspections is discussed, and an extension of the results obtained previously in the literature is presented. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
