Statistical models and techniques applied to the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS) database (2012)
Thesis
Vundla, S. Statistical models and techniques applied to the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS) database. (Thesis). University of Salford

The research explores statistical models and techniques which 'have been or might be used' to investigate relationships within the international manufacturing strategy survey (IMSS) database and other similar databases. The sample data for the rese... Read More about Statistical models and techniques applied to the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS) database.

A study of the influence of religiosity, materialism and animosity on consumer ethnocentric behaviour (2012)
Thesis
Sandhu, M. A study of the influence of religiosity, materialism and animosity on consumer ethnocentric behaviour. (Thesis). University of Salford

The main focus of this thesis is to investigate consumer ethnocentric behaviour (indeed morality, appropriateness to buy domestic products; Shimp and Sharma, 1987) and the effect of different socio-cultural and psychological constructs namely relig...

Modelling outcome prediction for trauma patients : an artificial intelligence approach (2011)
Thesis
Ali, N. Modelling outcome prediction for trauma patients : an artificial intelligence approach. (Thesis). University of Salford

Trauma, a term used in medicine to describe a physical injury, is believed to be one of the major causes of death and disability in modern societies. The development of the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) method by Boyd et al. (1987) can b...

Development of a state prediction model to aid decision making in condition based maintenance (2007)
Thesis
Hussin, B. Development of a state prediction model to aid decision making in condition based maintenance. (Thesis). University of Salford

Condition monitoring and fault diagnosis for operational equipment are developing and showing their potential for enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of maintenance management, including maintenance decision-making. In this thesis, our aim i... Read More about Development of a state prediction model to aid decision making in condition based maintenance.

State and parameter estimation techniques for stochastic systems (2006)
Thesis
Carr, M. State and parameter estimation techniques for stochastic systems. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This thesis documents research undertaken on state and parameter estimation techniques for stochastic systems in a maintenance context. Two individual problem scenarios are considered. For the first scenario, we are concerned with complex systems... Read More about State and parameter estimation techniques for stochastic systems.

Analysis and selection of supply chain contracts : a supplier's perspective (2005)
Thesis
Wang, H. Analysis and selection of supply chain contracts : a supplier's perspective. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

A supply contract, which achieves the optimal performance for the buyer or the supply chain as a whole, does not necessarily maximize the supplier’s expected profit. Therefore, it is important to understand the impacts of supply contracts and their... Read More about Analysis and selection of supply chain contracts : a supplier's perspective.
