Layout Redesign to Eliminate Stagnation Using Blocplan to Increase Production Efficiency

Membrane reactors: A way to increase efficiency

Using Markov Chain to Analyze Production Lines Systems with Layout Constraints

There are some problems with estimating the time required for the manufacturing process of products, especially when there is a variable serving time, like control stage. These problems will cause overestimation of process time. Layout constraints, reworking constraints and inflexible product schedule in multi product lines need a precise planning to reduce volume in particular situation of lin...

Using Expressiveness to Increase Efficiency in Social and Economic Mechanisms

Mechanisms for facilitating people’s interactions with businesses, their governments, and each other are ubiquitous in today’s society. One emerging trend over the past decade, along with increasing computational power and bandwidth, has been a demand for higher levels of expressiveness in such mechanisms. This trend has already manifested itself in combinatorial auctions and generalizations th...

Using Expressiveness to Increase Economic Efficiency in Social Mechanisms

Mechanisms are present everywhere in both business and social contexts. They govern the interactions people have with businesses, governments, and each other. One emerging trend over the past decade is a demand for higher levels of expressiveness in mechanisms that mediate interactions such as the allocation of resources, matching of peers, and elicitation of opinions. This trend has already ma...

Using Equivalence-Based Instruction to Increase Efficiency in Teaching Neuroanatomy

A goal of all instruction is to efficiently allocate time spent teaching -- balancing redundancy that enhances learning with redundancy that is irrelevant to increasing student understanding. Efficient allocation of time allows the instructor to present additional material and go into more detail about the information being presented. Here we borrow laboratory research on concept formation and ...
