Operation Barbarossa

This section demonstrates and validates the proposed distributed multi-agent area coverage control reinforcement learning algorithm (MAACC-RL) via numerical simulations. The approximate/adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm implemented for MAACC-RL uses a recursive least-squares solution. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MAACC algorithm, a MATLAB simulation is conducted on a group of five agents placed on a 2D convex workspace Ω⊂R^2 with its boundary vertices at (1.0,0.05)…

While the courses such as production management and industrial engineering provided a basic understanding of the subject, I am currently pursuing operations research which fascinated me very much. Throughout the period of my undergraduate study, I tried to understand the finer nuances of the subject by practically implementing the concepts and principles that I learned. I had completed a mini project…

1. What are the main functions of operations management? (10 points) The main functions of operations management are marketing, finance, human resources, and operations. It plans, organizes, coordinates, and controls the resources needed to produced the company’s goods and services. 2. While watching the FedEx video what aspect of operations management became more clear to you? (10 points). How important logistics are for FedEx. As well as deadlines because of how if one person was late…

Math was first put into practice by industry leaders, George Dantzig and Harold Kuhn, in the 1950’s. Business Mathematics is important in everyday life because not only does it help companies and organizations record and manage business related operations but it is also helpful for companies and organizations to make data driven decisions that ultimately relate to logistics, supply chains and warehousing. Business math differs from other types of math’s because it consists of more advanced…

the study was to establish the influence of operations strategy to Customer retention of star classified insurance firms within Kenya. Equally, it evaluated the various strategies used by the insurance firms in order to be competitive. It also analyzed the various aspects that the insurance firm considered important in the view of improving their operations and achieves better customer retention. The objectives of the study were to determine the operation strategies adopted by insurance firms in…

at the marketplace (Chase, Jacobs & Aquilano, 2006). Operations Management Conceptually, an operational management is related to administration, contriving,…

As an aspiring Industrial Engineer one field that is of particular interest to me as an individual is Operations Research (OR). Operations Research is the application of scientific principles to business management, which provides a quantitative basis for complex decision-making. I’ll introduce why I chose this particular field and how a conversation on ethics is warranted through explanation of the extent of OR methodologies and the impact of the decisions made by these researchers. Think of OR…

United States dropped two nuclear weapons in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 120,000 people immediately got killed and this led to the end of World War II. After a year, United States conducted a series of 23 nuclear devices which was named “Operation Crossroads” on the reef itself, on the sea, in the air and underwater. The United States…

2.3 Computational fluid dynamics Computational fluid dynamics or commonly abbreviated as CFD is the branch of fluid dynamics which is applied to simulate fluid flow, heat transfer, and associated phenomena such as chemical reactions by the numerical solution of the governing equations to analyze complex flows system such as complex turbulent flow (Versteeg and Malalasekera, 1995). Therefore, CFD has often been provided as the tool for testing of conditions which are not possible or difficult…

more rapidly. This operation was highly secretive and was code named Operation Paperclip. The success of the operation, which ran up until 1990, helped move the US forward in science and technology by using Germans scientists to make advances in all areas of science and especially in the study of space technology that would have taken the US much longer to achieve without their contributions. Although there were ethical and moral problems with Operation Paperclip, the Operation itself was…
