Item Comparison of compromise constraint bi-objective LP method and three traditional weighted criteria methods(Department of Industrial and Production Engineering, University of Ibadan, 2020) Adeyeye, A. D.; Arise, O. T.; Charles-Owaba, O. E.Item A bicriteria model for production planning in a toothpaste factory(International Knowledge Sharing Platform(IISTE), 2012) Adeyeye, A. D; Charles-Owaba, O. E.This paper presents a bicriteria formulation of the material allocation to production facilities problem. The system under consideration is a toothpaste factory. Two objectives of the factory were identified, namely; (i) Minimization of the total sum of processing costs (ii) Maximization of the capacity utilization of production facilities. Linear Combination of Objective Functions (LCOF) method was used to solve the problem for the situation where the objectives were of equal importance. The solutions were compared to that of goal programming (GP) and they were found to be identical. The least utilized production facility was processing plant 1 with utilization of 20.32% followed by filling machine 1 with utilization of 43.85%. All the other production facilities were operated at 100% capacity. For LCOF, one problem was solved to obtain the solution while in the case of GP three problems were solved. LCOF is superior to GP in terms of simplicity and time savings.Item Application and comparison of three multiobjective linear programming methods(International Knowledge Sharing Platform(IISTE), 2011) Adeyeye, A. D; Charles-Owaba, O. E.A biobjective production planning problem was modelled using the Compromise Constraint Biobjective LP (CCBLP) method, the traditional Weighted-sum Scalarization (WSS) and Non-preemptive Goal Programming (NGP) approaches. Various preference indices were used to explore the tradeoff options and the L1 distance metric was used to determine the best compromise solution and the appropriate preference indices. The solution of CCBLP was the closest to the ideal solution with L1 metric of 0.326 and corresponding preference indices of W1 = 0.25, W2 = 0.75. Comparison of the results showed that the CCBLP is more sensitive to changes in preference indices than the WSS and NGP methods and hence it is more useful in helping the decision maker to make intelligent tradeoff decisionsItem Manufacture of abrasive grinding wheel using silicon carbide abrasive materials(2010-04) Odior, A. O.; Oyawale, F. A.; Charles-Owaba, O. E.; Akpobi, J. A.Abrasive materials are materials of extreme hardness that are used to shape other materials by a grinding or abrading action and they are used either as loose grains, as grinding wheels, or as coatings on cloth or paper. A grinding wheel is made of very small, sharp and hard silicon carbide abrasive particles or grits held together by strong porous bond. The manufacture of silicon carbide abrasives and grinding wheel in Nigeria has been severely impeded by the difficulty of identifying suitable local raw materials and the associated local formulation for abrasives and grinding wheel with global quality standards. This paper presents a study on the formulation and manufacture of abrasive grinding wheel using silicon carbide abrasive grains in Nigeria. Six local raw material substitutes were identified through pilot study and with the initial mix of the identified materials, a systematic search for an optimal formulation of silicon carbide, the intermediate product, was conducted using the Taguchi method. The mixture was fired in a furnace to 1800°C for 6 hours forming silicon carbide chunks, which were crushed and sieved into coarse and fine grades of abrasive grains. Combining each grade with appropriate proportion of latex binder to form paste in a compressed mould cavity of desired shape and size, coarse and fine grinding wheels of international standard were produced.Item Harmonious song-list generation: anapplication of the sequence dependent machine set up time problem model(International Research Publication House, 2011) Oladokun, V. O.; Charles-Owaba, O. E.; Nzeribe, T. M. C.Song- list generation, a crucial component of m us IC information retrieval system. has been carried out based on users experiences and bias with no quantitative method to guarantee the generation and repeatability of harmonious arrangements. In this study, the problem of generating harmonious song-list has been modelled as a Single Machine Set-up Problem (MSP) and solution software developed. Music factors that affect user perception and cognition of a smooth transition were identified through interview of experts and literature search. These factors were transformed into suitable quantitative scale for calibration. Thirty (30) Nigerian songs were selected for analysis. A cost matrix was developed for the songs. A MSP Solution algorithm, the Set-sequencing Solution Algorithm (SSA) was adopted as the solution procedure. An interactive version of the SSA was developed using the VB.NET. Using randomly generated song-lists as input sequences into the software. new song-list was generated and compared to the input sequence. An improvement on total song list harmony of about 57% was obtained using the MSP on thirty (30) songs. The software was seen to be user friendly. It is concluded that the new software is a useful tool for church worship and the entertainment industry in general.Item Determining feasible solutions of a multicriteria assignment problem(World bank assisted National Agricultural Research Project (NARP)- University of Port Harcourt, 2010-03) Odior, A. O.; Charles-Owaba, O. E.; Oyawale, F. A.This paper presents an important research tool in operations research as it applies to a particular structure of the mullicritcria assignment problem. The paper addresses the problem of effectiveness of feasible solutions of a multicriteria assignment problem and this was done in two steps. In the first step, we determine whether or not a given feasible solution or a multicriteria assignment problem is a real efficient one. In the second step, if the feasible solution is not real efficient, we provide a real efficient solution that dominates that not real efficient solution, using our proposed method which consists of transforming the original problem into an assignment problem.Item A neuro-fuzzy linguistic approach to experimental parameters with silicon carbide grinding wheel(Nigerian Institution of Production Engineers, 2010-04) Odior, A.

O.; Charles-Owaba, O. E.; Oyawale, F. A.This paper presents a case study in the development and application of a time study model in a rice milling firm. Rice milling is a process whereby the rice grain is transformed into a form suitable for human consumption and it has to be done with utmost care to prevent breakage of the kernel and improve the recovery. Rice is a very important nutritional diet for over half the world's population and as a result rice milling firm has occupied a significant position in small, medium and large scale enterprises of many nations. The study reveals that the time it takes to mill a 50 kilograms bag of rice is directly proportional to the number of production stages involved and the time spent at each of these production stages. This time is being represented by some structural equations which are characteristics of the rice milling firm being studiedItem Application of job scheduling in small scale rice milling firm(Asian Reserch Publishing Network(ARPN), 2010-01) Odior, A. O.; Charles-Owaba, O. E.; Oyawale, F. A.Rice is the edible seed of a plant which is a member of the grass family. It is an annual plant which is grown in many countries throughout the world and is the staple diet for over half the world's population. Rice milling firm has therefore occupied a significant position in the small,medium and large scale enterprises of many nations. In application of job scheduling in rice milling activities a framework for proper scheduling of activities (jobs) in rice milling processing firm in Nigeria has been developed. The methodology addresses this problem by supposing we have (n) customers to be served (where n is large); in what way should customers' order be processed such that the firm's profit is maximized while the customers are not unnecessarily delayed? The problem is addressed by using makespan as a measure of performance while the job orders were sequentially scheduled according to order of priority to achieve optimum results. The results show that CDS and A1 heuristics are preferred to the traditional method or USO. Accordingly, the CDS heuristic followed by A1 heuristic gives the best makespan result.Item Neuro - Puzzy Analysis for Silicon Carbide:Abrasive Grains Production(2010-06) Odior, A. O.; Oyawale, F.
