Queues with Markovian Arrivals, Phase Type Services, Breakdowns, and Repairs
No full textIn service sectors, the server interruptions occur naturally and are studied using queueing models with interruptions. Such models have been studied extensively in the literature. The server interruptions may occur due to external events such as shocks and negative customers, or due to internal events which are dictated by a timer or a clock which when expired may result in an interruption. In this paper, we analyze models of MAP/PH/1-type with phase type breakdowns and phase type repairs analytically. The breakdowns are modeled using internal clocks. The study of such breakdowns in the context of MAP/PH/c-type models is carried out via simulation. Some illustrative examples are discussed
Design and Analysis of Kettering University’s New Proving Ground, the GM Mobility Research Center
No full textRapid changes in the automotive industry, including the growth of advanced vehicle controls and autonomy, are driving the need for more dedicated proving ground spaces where these systems can be developed safely. To address this need, Kettering University has created the GM Mobility Research Center, a 21-acre proving ground located in Flint, Michigan at the former “Chevy in the Hole” factory location. Construction of a proving ground on this site represents a beneficial redevelopment of an industrial brownfield, as well as a significant expansion of the test facilities available at the campus of Kettering University. Test facilities on the site include a road course and a test pad, along with a building that has garage space, a conference room, and an indoor observation platform. All of these facilities are available to the students and faculty of Kettering University, along with their industrial partners, for the purpose of engaging in advanced transportation research and education. This work describes the history of the proving ground development and outlines its design. Special emphasis is placed on a detailed analysis of the vehicle dynamics characteristics of the road course, with physical testing methods employed to evaluate and communicate its capabilities

No full textEliminating 500 level courses. EE-582 will become EE-482/682
4/22/2020: Course Change Form Math 101X
No full textThis five-contact hour course is for students who are placed in MATH-101X or want to study differential calculus of functions of one variable at a slower pace and with a comprehensive review of trigonometry. This course contains all the material in MATH-101.
The six contact hour version, which is eliminated, required 2-hour meeting in one day (deemed excessive) and reduced student time for out-of-class study
3/11/2020: Program Change Form Kettering Global
No full textThe Operations Management Certificate currently requires the following courses: MGMT 619 – Project Management MGMT 609 - Technology Management IME 676 – Lean Six Sigma
The proposed change would clarify that MGMT 661-Operations Management is a requirement of the concentration, but that students who are already required to take that course in their program core requirements should take IME 676 Lean Six Sigma as the third course in the OM Certificate. (Students who are in the MSOM program are not eligible for this choice as MGMT 661 is a core course in the program.
