Martin K. Starr: A Visionary Proponent for System Integration, Modular Production, and Catastrophe Avoidance
نویسندگان
چکیده
M K. Starr facilitated the creation of an identity for production and operations management (POM) as an academic discipline. This paper aims to summarize Starr’s substantial contributions to scholarly inquiry on system integration and interfunctional coordination, modular production, and catastrophe avoidance. Even after four decades, we describe how his legacy in these areas continues to define several major drivers of operations and supply chain management research and practice. Starr has influenced several generations of students, professors, and executives with his writings, teaching, and leadership roles in the POM community that include 32 years on the faculty of the Columbia School of Business, 15 years as Editor-in-Chief of Management Science, and presidency of the Production and Operations Management Society.

Modular approach for an ASIC integration of electrical drive controls
VLSI circuits design allows today to consider new modes of implementation for electrical controls. However, design techniques require an adaptation effort that few designers, too accustomed to the software approach, provide. The authors of this article propose to develop a methodology to guide the electrical designers towards optimal performances of control algorithms implementation. Thus, they...
متن کاملAn Improved Modular Modeling for Analysis of Closed-Cycle Absorption Cooling Systems
A detailed modular modeling of an absorbent cooling system is presented in this paper. The model including the key components is described in terms of design parameters, inputs, control variables, and outputs. The model is used to simulate the operating conditions for estimating the behavior of individual components and system performance, and to conduct a sensitivity analysis based on the give...
متن کاملFixed points for Banach and Kannan contractions in modular spaces with a graph
In this paper, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of xed points for Banach and Kannancontractions dened on modular spaces endowed with a graph. We do not impose the Δ2-conditionor the Fatou property on the modular spaces to give generalizations of some recent results. Thegiven results play as a modular version of metric xed point results.
متن کاملIntegration of the Decisions Associated with Maintenance Management and Process Control for a Series Production System
This paper studies a series production system through the integration of the decisions associated with Maintenance Management (MM) and Statistical Process Control (SPC). Hence, the primary question of the paper can be stated as follows: In a series production system, how can the decisions of MM and SPC be coordinated? To this end, an integrated mathematical model of MM and SPC is developed. Usi...
متن کاملStrategy-aligned fuzzy approach for market segment evaluation and selection: a modular decision support system by dynamic network process (DNP)
In competitive markets, market segmentation is a critical point of business, and it can be used as a generic strategy. In each segment, strategies lead companies to their targets; thus, segment selection and the application of the appropriate strategies over time are very important to achieve successful business. This paper aims to model a strategy-aligned fuzzy approach to market segment ev...
