Assessing impacts of the European framework programme on Turkish participants: a case study on FP6 IST priorty
Metin, Hüseyin; Çilingir, Canan; Erdil, Erkan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010)
This thesis aims to assess impacts of European Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP) on Turkish participants, focusing on Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) Information Society Technologies (IST) priority. A two-sided approach was employed while assessing impacts. First, DELPHI method was used to quantify and prioritise expectations of the decision makers in key stakeholders; second, a survey was designed to measure additionalities and the level of achievements of program particip...
Simulation of capacity expansion and sequencing alternatives for a sheet metal producer
Arer, MM; Özdemirel, Nur Evin (Informa UK Limited, 1999-06-01)
We present a simulation case study carried out for a make-to-order aluminium sheet producer located in Istanbul, Turkey. We are concerned with a subsystem of the factory consisting of continuous casting, cold rolling, and annealing processes. Two simulation models are developed: (1) a combined model for studying the casting process only; (2) a discrete event model for comparing capacity expansion alternatives and order sequencing rules in the subsystem. Operational characteristics of the real system and pas...
Robust portfolio planning in the presence of market anomalies
Oguzsoy, Cemal Berk; Güven, Sibel (Elsevier BV, 2007-02-01)
In this study, a short-term portfolio modeling formulation is developed using existing anomalies as a single determinant for daily Istanbul Stock Exchange National 100 Composite Index (ISE) and US dollars (USD) returns in a Robust optimization (RO) framework. Using anomalies in planning within an RO framework establishes a balance between risk seeking and risk averse behaviors, as generating profit from anomalies is risky and RO enables to settle down the extreme risk seeking behavior. Applications of the m...
Quantiative Methodology for Determination of Cost Contingency in International Projects
Sönmez, Rifat; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-01-01)
This paper presents a quantitative methodology to determine financial impacts of the risk factors during the bidding stages of international construction projects. Project and country data of 26 construction projects from 21 countries were collected for evaluation of the international risk factors. The factors impacting cost contingency were identified using correlation and regression analysis techniques. The results indicated that four factors had major contributions for explaining the variations in the co...
Public R&D project portfolio selection problem with cancellations
ÇAĞLAR, Musa; Gürel, Sinan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-07-01)
In this study, we address a public R&D project portfolio selection problem with project cancellations. For several reasons, a funded R&D project may be halted before finishing the planned research. When a project is canceled, most of its budget is usually unused and also some of the spendings can return to the funding organization. In the call-based R&D programs, usually project selection decisions are made in one go, and, in the current call, it is not possible to award new projects with the unused budget....
