    Agent-based Three Layer Framework of Assembly-Oriented Planning and Scheduling for Discrete Manufacturing Enterprises
    (IEEE, 2018-06) Fan, Yinghui; Anwar, Sohel; Wang, Litao; Mechanical and Energy Engineering, School of Engineering and Technology
    To solve the cost burden caused by delivery tardiness for small and medium sized packaging machinery enterprises, the assembly-oriented planning and scheduling is studied based on the multi-agent technology. Taking into account the due date, the planning and scheduling are optimized iteratively with the rule-based algorithms complying with the machining and assembling process constraints. To make the realistic large-scale production planning scheme tailored to fit the optimization algorithms, a multi-agent system is utilized to conceptually construct a three-layer framework corresponding to three planning horizons of different task level. These planning horizons are quarter/month of product/subassembly level, week of part level, and day of operation level. With the strategy of combining top-down task decomposition and bottom-up plan update (where the quarterly orders are decomposed into the monthly, weekly, and daily tasks according to the product processing structure while the resulting plans of every layer are updated iteratively based on the bottom layer optimization), the proposed framework not only addresses the planning but also the periodic and event-driven scheduling of the processes. In this paper, a gravure printing machine is considered as a test case for evaluating the proposed framework. The simulation results with the historical data of the orders for this machine demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme on the control of the distribution of idle-time. It can also provide a resolution to tardiness penalty for small and medium sized enterprises.

    Division of Undergraduate Education Honors College Institute for Engaged Learning University College Program Review and Assessment Committee (PRAC) Annual Report 2018-2019
    (IUPUI, 2019) Graunke, Steve
    The Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) at IUPUI has a comprehensive range of programs, services, and policies designed to enhance student learning, academic achievement, and persistence. The focus on continuously improving student academic achievement and persistence has made a strong commitment to assessment and evaluation, an integral aspect of the DUE strategic plan. Assessing programs designed to enhance student educational outcomes during the first-year of college requires careful conceptualization of the processes and relationships involved before choosing measures and evaluation designs. As such, the DUE assessment strategy includes a three-phase approach to assessment including needs, process, and outcome assessment. In addition, we employ mix-method approaches that involve a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods as well as indirect and direct measures of student learning.

    Monitoring and Assessing Community-Engaged Activities Across Campus
    (2016-10-23) Norris, Kristin; Weiss, H. Anne; Mack, Heather; Medlin, Kristin; Wittman, Amanda
    Most campuses are eager to answer the question "How are students, faculty, and staff at my campus working to address wicked or public problems?" In this presentation we explore a range of strategies to track and monitor community-engaged activities going on across your campus, which includes curricular, co-curricular or project-based activities that are done in collaboration with the community. This presentation gives participants tools, strategies, steps, and information that can be used to design, initiate, and/or enhance systematic assessment or evaluation of community-engaged activities.
