BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess whether planning and problem-solving training is more effective in improving functional capacity in patients with schizophrenia than a training program addressing basic cognitive functions. METHODS Eighty-nine patients with schizophrenia were randomly assigned either to a computer assisted training of planning and problem-solving or a trainin...

We consider the capacity planning problem during a product transition in which demand for a new-generation product gradually replaces that for the old product. Capacity for the new product can be acquired both by purchasing new production lines and by converting existing produc...

This paper presents a stochastic optimization model and efficient decomposition algorithm for multi-site capacity planning under the uncertainty of the TFT-LCD industry. The objective of the stochastic capacity planning is to determine a robust capacity allocation and expansion policy hedged against demand uncertainties because the demand forecasts faced by TFT-LCD manufacturers are usually ina...

background: chemical exposure is a major health problem globally. poison control centers (pccs) play a leading role both in developed and developing countries in the prevention and control of poisonous chemical exposures. in this study, we aimed to assess the current state of pccs in pakistan and highlight capacity building needs in these centers. methods: a cross-sectional survey of the two re...

In this paper. the basic framework and algorithms of a decision support system are discussed. which enhance process and capacity planning at a large repair shop. The research is strongly motivated by experiences in a project carried out at a dockyard, which performs repair, overhaul and modification programs for various classes of navy ships. We outline the basic requirements placed upon order ...

This paper analyzes the capacity-planning process of database management systems focusing the theoretical decision models that considers the variables constraints that could be taken slightly and other variable constraints that are indispensable during upgrade. In order to proceed with the aforementioned, we assume that capacity planning decision, which considers the general corporate, technica...
