The behavior of any real system is a process to a greater or lesser degree probabilistic. As a rule, it is impossible to specify exactly which external influences and internal mechanisms of interaction of the system components will be decisive in the future. As a consequence, we cannot accurately predict the behavior of the system. We can only talk about the probability that, in the future, the system will come to a particular state. While the problem of the probabilistic description of all possible future states of the system is very difficult to answer, it is often enough, for research purposes, to obtain answers to questions that are more simple, for example, "For how long will, on average, the system operate in a given mode?" or "What is the probability that the process of functioning of the system will come out of given mode to a specific point in time?" Problems of this type concern the crossings of a level by a random process.This book states some of the most important fundamental results related to crossings problems. The known problem of first reaching boundaries by a random process is discussed in detail. It explores the solution of this problem for arbitrary continuous processes, and also considers the application of obtained mathematical results to the investigation of the safety of an airplane landing.The book will appeal to engineers and scientists who are interested in the applications of random processes theory and its methods. Its results will also be of interest for mathematicians who study crossings problems.

Written for users, this book provides a structured approach with processes for implementing OEMS based on the learnings and experiences from companies who have implemented OEMS. The book leverages theknowledge of experienced OEMS personnel to provide a compelling sense of direction for organizations in the implementation of OEMS. The book includes sample templates and tools where necessary to ensure successful implementation and sustainment. The content of this book provides a testing methodology for implementing an OEMS across any organization while avoiding the pitfalls others have encountered along the way. The book: Provides a simple and easy process to follow for implementing an OEMS Offers organizations an opportunity to avoid the implementation errors of early adopters and provides them with the ability of learning from the experiences of others Equipped with tools and processes to make implementation and sustainment very effective, thereby avoiding false starts Designed to improve HSE, business reliability, efficiency, effectiveness, and performance on an ongoing basis Presents a simple pathway for helping organizations across all industries including those that operate within the various segments of the Oil and Gas business, to become more operationally disciplined in the way we do business and operate our assets in a high-risk operating environment

Logistik hat eine herausragende Bedeutung für den Unternehmenserfolg erlangt. Bisher hat sich jedoch noch kein eindeutiges Verfahren etabliert, das den Wertbeitrag logistischer Entscheidungen und Veränderungen deutlich macht. Das Buch soll diese Lücke schließen. Dazu werden alle wertschöpfenden Einflussbereiche beschrieben und ein logistischer Businessplan entwickelt, der eine strukturierte Vorgehensweise zur Verbesserung der Performance eines Logistiksystems darstellt. Einige anschauliche Fallbeispiele geben zusätzliche Anregungen zur Übertragung auf die jeweilige Unternehmenssituation. Mit der zweisprachigen Darstellung (Deutsch-Englisch) kann dieses Buch in weltweit tätigen Unternehmen und als Lehrmaterial für international ausgerichtete Studiengänge eingesetzt werden. Die Autoren Prof. Dr. Martin Göbl lehrt Logistik und Unternehmensführung an der Hochschule Kempten. Dr. Andreas Froschmayer ist Corporate Director für Corporate Development, Strategy & PR der DACHSER Group SE & Co. KG Logistics has become instrumental in determining corporate profitability. However, as yet there exists no clear method that can be drawn on to illustrate the value contribution of logistics decisions and changes for business entities. This book is intended to fill that gap. It describes all value-creating spheres of influence and draws up a logistics business plan that provides a structured plan of action for improving the performance of a logistics system. Some concrete case studies provide additional suggestions for transferring the findings to the respective company situation. The dual-language format (German-English) is intended to make the book accessible to people working in globally operating companies or those pursuing internationally-oriented courses of study. The Authors Prof. Dr. Martin Göbl lectures in logistics and business management at the University of Applied Sciences in Kempten. Dr. Andreas Froschmayer is Corporate Director for Corporate Development, Strategy & PR of the DACHSER Group SE & Co. KG.

This thesis by Niki Matinrad explores the application of operations research to daily emergency management, specifically focusing on medical emergency services. It addresses the challenges of increasing demand uncertainty and resource shortages in emergency services, proposing forecasting models and optimization methods for dispatching volunteers in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest situations. The work includes three key studies: a forecasting model for ambulance call volumes, a deterministic optimization model for volunteer dispatch, and a probabilistic method considering task compliance uncertainties. The research aims to improve response times and survivability rates by utilizing real-world data and dynamic resource management strategies. The intended audience includes scholars and practitioners in emergency management and operations research.

Die nachfrageorientierte Gestaltung von Produktlinien nimmt in Zeiten steigender Wettbewerbsintensität und gesättigter Märkte eine Schlüsselrolle für Unternehmen und deren Überlebensfähigkeit auf den Märkten ein. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt Georg Bechler einen modellbasierten Ansatz zur Produktlinienoptimierung vor, der erstmals eine zentrale Eigenschaft menschlichen Wahlverhaltens berücksichtigt: die Tendenz zur Mitte bzw. Präferenzen für Kompromissalternativen. In einer Reihe von experimentellen Untersuchungen zeigt der Autor auf, dass der Ansatz für Unternehmen mit Blick auf wesentliche Zielgrößen wie den Gewinn ein erhebliches Potenzial besitzt. Ein umfassender Überblick mit Analyse über bisher veröffentlichte Ansätze zur Produktlinienoptimierung rundet das Werk ab. Der Inhalt Grundlagen der Produkt- und Programmpolitik Grundlagen des Konsumentenwahlverhaltens Ansätze zur Produktlinienoptimierung Ansatz zur Produktlinienoptimierung unter Berücksichtigung von Präferenzen für Kompromissalternativen Experimentelle Untersuchung des Ansatzes Die Zielgruppen Dozierende und Studierende der Betriebswirtschaftslehre mit den Schwerpunkten Produktmanagement, Operations Research und Marketing sowie der Mathematik Produktmanager/innen, Data Scientists/Analysts, Berater/innen im Bereich Advanced Analytics Der Autor Dr. Georg Bechler ist als Business Development Manager im Bereich Produktmanagement und -entwicklung tätig.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to nonlinear programming, featuring a broad range of applications and solution methods in the field of continuous optimization. It begins with a summary of classical results on unconstrained optimization, followed by a wealth of applications from a diverse mix of fields, e.g. location analysis, traffic planning, and water quality management, to name but a few. In turn, the book presents a formal description of optimality conditions, followed by an in-depth discussion of the main solution techniques. Each method is formally described, and then fully solved using a numerical example.
