An Application of Industrial Engineering to Library Carrel Utilization

Industrial engineering techniques have not been widely used to address resource allocation problems of educational facilities, in spite of the obvious need for better utilization of these resources. The successful application of two fundamental industrial engineering tools, work sampling and ABC analysis, to a study of library carrel utilization is reported herein, along with some observations on the implementation process.

精选理由设计师以做时装设计的理念来做完全相反的建筑设计,使用可以随季节以及潮流趋势改变而变化的自由拼接组合的材料,由此让空间设计也变成为了顾客定期来消费的商品。"时装的消费者是为设计买单而不是为材料。"设计师Guy Zucker说。决定消费者购买欲的是时装是否流行和符合季节变化,而非质量。因此,对于时装设计师来说,对设计的投入和经历远远超过对质量和材料的研究。然而,在建筑领域,情况恰好相反——设计的投资远远小于材料的投资。     

Authoring templates with Tracker

Tracker, a tool developed by DARPA'S active templates program, extends data-entry forms to support plan authoring, information monitoring, and execution planning. Tracker is used to develop templates for a military air transportation system tool. The Tracker software lets users define templates to describe and implement a given planning problem's associated workflow.
