Engineering Economist archives from June 2006
Selecting project portfolios by optimizing simulations.
June 22, 2006... New advances in the area of simulation optimization allow managers to go beyond traditional ranking rules, CAPM, and real options analysis in order to select optimal sets of projects to fund. Furthermore, these advances make use of portfolio...
Establishing maintenance resource levels using selective maintenance.
June 22, 2006... We address the performance of a repairable system that is required to perform a sequence of equally spaced, identical missions with breaks between missions. The system is series-parallel in structure, and component repair can only be performed...
Obsolescence driven design refresh planning for sustainment-dominated systems.
June 22, 2006... Many technologies have life cycles that are shorter than the life cycle of the product they are in. Life cycle mismatches caused by the obsolescence of technology (and particularly the obsolescence of electronic parts) results in high...
Valuing real capital investments using the least-squares Monte Carlo method.
June 22, 2006... The recently developed least-squares Monte Carlo (LSM) method provides a simple and efficient technique for valuing American-type options. The proposed method is applicable to the cases of compound real options, like the other numerical...
Incorporating stochastic demand into breakeven analysis: a practical guide.
June 22, 2006... The plausibility and usefulness of conventional breakeven analysis is augmented by adding a stochastic linear demand function to the basic breakeven equation. The additional complexity from adding this function is not excessive in a...
Technical note: constructing tornado diagrams with spreadsheets.
June 22, 2006... Tornado diagrams are a classic tool of sensitivity analysis for decision analysis, yet engineering economy texts and TEE articles rarely include them. It is suggested that this is due to apparent barriers in constructing them--particularly for...
