(Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2024-05-31)This study introduces three extensions of the Markowitz portfolio selection model: (1) matching portfolio risk to individual investors’ risk appetite; (2) excluding certain shares; and (3) environmental, social, and ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-12)Vehicle telemetry data is becoming more ubiquitous with increasingly sensorised vehicles, but making sense of the vehicles' purpose remains challenging without additional context. Clustering the vehicle activity data and ...
-
(Emerald, 2024)PURPOSE : This study aims to investigate the combined use of System Dynamics (SD) applications in Enterprise Engineering (EE) research and practice. SD application in EE is becoming widely accepted as a tool to support ...
-
(Ram Arti Publishers, 2024-06)Many production systems need to be able to change the rate at which they manufacture products for various reasons, hence, the need to find the optimal lot size under these multiple levels of production. This research ...
-
(Emerald, 2024-09)PURPOSE : This research seeks to explore the interrelationships between human lean practices (HLP) and their impact on the business performance of service industries. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH : A questionnaire ...
-

-
(Ram Arti Publishers, 2023)The reliability of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is a research domain of high interest, covering a diverse pool of researchers, captains of smart auto industries, government agencies, and technology enthusiasts. The reliability ...
-
(Sage, 2023-02)Data generated from telemetry devices, such as acceleration and speed, are used in a variety of industries to determine the risk profile of a driver. This paper considers the addition of road gradient as a contextual ...
-
A comprehensive case study on integrated redundant reliability model using k-out-of-n configuration (Gnedenko Forum, 2023-03)Designers may introduce a system with multiple technologies in series to improve system efficiency. The configuration can be applied to k out of n systems if each technology contains k out of n factors. The k out of n ...
-
