Operational Analysis in the Frontline
OR Insight - Tập 13 - Trang 10-14 - 2000
Progress across Bosnia Herzegovina (BiH) has been measured by operational analysts since NATO's Implementation Force (IFOR) deployed in December 1995. The first studies were conducted at a very low level concentrating on the basics of survival By the time the Stabilisation Force (SFOR) arrived in November 1996, it was clear that the OA tools would need to be dynamic, developing alongside the progr......
Vehicle availability during a mounted combat engagement
OR Insight - Tập 23 - Trang 172-186 - 2010
The number of armoured vehicles reloading ammunition during a combat engagement is dependent on the characteristics of the weapon system. This article presents a case study examining the consequences for vehicle availability of two different potential weapon systems for the Canadian Army's Light Armoured Vehicle III. Basic statistical models are first employed to determine the number of vehicles r......
The road to continuous improvement
OR Insight - Tập 4 - Trang 23-26 - 1991
When the CEO of a small engineering firm asked us to set up a performance measurement system to “drive” his business, we were left wondering what to measure and how to measure it – given that his information systems were in a somewhat chaotic state. This article describes the authors' attempts to derive some order from the prevailing chaos and to use it as the foundation stone for a continuous imp......
Policing vice in the West End
OR Insight - Tập 2 - Trang 10-15 - 1989
The aim of this article is to discuss operational difficulties of West End policing, in particular those pertaining to female prostitution, whilst also drawing up lessons for operational research and systems methodologies, in this “real-world” context, through practical application of such approaches. A systemic analysis is briefly presented, and the findings of this in terms of (a) methodological......
TISSUE wipes away exam time tears
OR Insight - Tập 8 Số 4 - Trang 28-32 - 1995
The task of examination timetabling at universities is becoming more difficult as student numbers rise and student choice widens. Many universities are turning to computerised scheduling packages, and this article outlines various stages of the computerisation of the examination process at Swansea University. The practical issues involved in designing and implementing a system based on simulated a......
Do We Need Yet Another Office PC Upgrade?
OR Insight - Tập 14 - Trang 3-12 - 2001
Currently, large costs are incurred by organisations on regular upgrades of office PCs, yet there appears to be little basis to justify this expenditure. There are few ways of measuring the increased functionality provided by upgrades, and hence of assessing value for money. The paper describes a data-driven set of approaches to determining PC upgrade policy. The approaches are based on a synthesi......
Decision-aiding demonstrated!
OR Insight - Tập 2 - Trang 15-21 - 1989
The past decade has seen new (or renewed) interest in various approaches to helping decision-making teams, such as cognitive mapping, strategic choice, strategic assumption surfacing and testing (SAST), soft systems methodology, conflict analysis and decision conferencing. Unlike traditional OR, these focus largely on the process of decision, with the consultant acting as facilitator to the team. ......
Computer simulation helps Heathrow's Terminal 5 to be one of the best in the world
OR Insight - Tập 26 - Trang 85-86 - 2012
Outpatient clinics
OR Insight - Tập 8 - Trang 24-27 - 1995
Hospital out-patient clinics are a typical example of the sorts of problems that simulation modelling should be able to handle. In this paper a visual simulation modelling approach to this problem is examined using the simulation package SIMSCRIPT 11.5.
