Cycle Time

Cycle Time Reduction and Runtime Rebalancing by Reallocating Dependent Tasks

Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) is a complex information system that provides designing, administrating, and improving the business processes. Task allocation to human resources is one of the most important issues which should be managed more efficiently in BPMS. Task allocation algorithms are defined in order to meet the various policies of organizations. The most important of these...

Budgetary Constraints and Idle Time Allocation in Common-Cycle Production with non-zero Setup Time

Economic lot size scheduling problem (ELSP) for a multi-product single machine system is a classical problem. This paper considers ELSP with budgetary constraint as an important aspect of such systems. In the real world situations the available funds for investment in inventory is limited. By adopting the common cycle time approach to ELSP, we obtain the optimal common cycle which minimizes the...

Measuring Business Cycle Time

Cycle time of p-time event graphs

The dater equalities constitutes an appropriate tool which allows a linear description of Timed Event Graphs in the field of (max, +) algebra. This paper proposes an equivalent model in the usual algebra which can describe Timed and P-time Event Graphs. Considering 1-periodic behavior, the application of a variant of Farkas’ lemma allows the determination of upper and lower bounds of the produc...

Edge-light pupil cycle time.

A thin slit-lamp beam illuminating the pupil margin produces clearly visible pupil oscillations. These oscillations can be timed with a stopwatch, thus producing a measurement of the "edge-light" pupil cycle time'. The pupil cycle time is remarkably stable in various testing situations and is repeatable within about +/- 3% over extended periods of time. Expected normal distribution and 95% con...
