C/OM/180. Evaluating train protection systems: Monte Carlo simulation

WORDS:
3000
DATE:
2009
PRICE:
39.99 GBP

The paper examines the methods that can be used to evaluate a train protection system offering a multi-objective approach and outlining its benefits. The monetary value of human life is discussed addressing the issues of accident probability and fatality rates, and using the Monte Carlo simulation. Conclusions are made about the usefulness of the method in making a decision to invest in the automatic train protection.

P/OM/44. Operational research: benefits of supply chain optimisation software

WORDS:
2500
DATE:
2006
PRICE:
29.99 GBP

The paper examines the concept of operational research (OR) as a problem-solving technique (heuristics) providing its definitions and reviewing its history, evolution, and applications focusing on the supply chain optimisation software. Examples from different industries are drawn to illustrate the benefits of the new software in minimizing their clients supply chain costs.

WORDS:
3500
DATE:
2005
PRICE:
39.99 GBP

The paper examines the causes and consequences of the failure in the computer-aided despatch (CAD) system of the London Ambulance Service (LAS) in 1992.

P/OM/27. Operational Research: history and evaluation

WORDS:
4500
DATE:
2004
PRICE:
49.99 GBP

The paper looks at a brief history of operational research (OR), or management science. It opens with an overview of the OR early history, showing how operational research started in Britain in late 1930s was used in World War II and what methods of OR originated during this time. The paper focuses on OR application in Royal Air Force. It goes on to present a discussion of how OR has evolved over the years: its ''Golden Age'' in the post-war period (1945 ? 1970s) and the present day situation. Special attention is given to the Operational Research Society and its role in our society. The paper shows the elaborate tools OR is using now in order to apply the right technique to the appropriate problem. These are: Mathematical Programming, Networks, Scheduling, Inventories, Decision Theory, Heuristics, Renewal Theory, Probability Theory, Project Planning, Queueing Theory, Stochastic Processes, Simulation Modelling, Forecasting and Statistics. In the closing section the author comes up with a critical evaluation of OR.
