    Letter to the Editor—Use of Linear Programming in Capital Budgeting
    Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) ; 1955
    In:  Journal of the Operations Research Society of America Vol. 3, No. 2 ( 1955-05), p. 219-224

    Abstract: Linear programming has found wide application in solving such diverse problems as determining the optimum utilization of machines, most different scheduling procedures, most economical routing of transportation, best system of salary scales, etc. An example has recently come to our attention which illustrates the value of this new technique, and the practical type of solution arrived at, in the important field of capital budgeting. In order to protect the identity of the company involved, we have modified slightly some of the figures and the nature of the product.

    Direct Use of Extremal Principles in Solving Certain Optimizing Problems Involving Inequalities
    Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) ; 1955
    In:  Journal of the Operations Research Society of America Vol. 3, No. 2 ( 1955-05), p. 168-175

    Abstract: It is shown how extremal principles may be used in their rigorous sense to solve certain optimizing problems involving inequalities. The method applies to both linear and non-linear type problems as illustrated by the examples included in the paper, and is particularly suited for electronic digital computation because of the trigger-type, “either-or,” nature of the solution. Certain problems concerned with the low weight design of structures, arising in the author's field of structural mechanics, can be considered to lie in the general field of operations research. Almost invariably these problems contain inequality side conditions and hence may be solved by the methods of the paper.

    Approximate Salvo Kill Probabilities for Small and Medium Sized Targets when Cumulative Damage is Unimportant
    Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) ; 1955
    In:  Journal of the Operations Research Society of America Vol. 3, No. 1 ( 1955-02), p. 69-76

    In: Journal of the Operations Research Society of America, Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), Vol. 3, No. 1 ( 1955-02), p. 69-76
    Abstract: This paper considers salvo-firing situations where the cumulative damage contribution is unimportant and presents some approximate probability expressions of an analytical nature. These results are valid if the target size and vulnerability are not too large compared to the round dispersion, and the other assumptions adopted are those ordinarily used for problems of this type. These expressions show that, for the two-dimensional situations considered, a salvo kill probability can be approximately stated as an explicit function of four parameters. These parameters are the number of ammunition rounds, the average target vulnerability times the target size, the salvo aiming error dispersion, and a function of the round dispersion and two dispersion type terms which depend on the target size, shape, and vulnerability. Thus the target properties are condensed into three numbers. Also the resulting probability expressions are of a form which permits direct examination of the effects of changes in the salvo-aiming system (fire-control system), the number and properties of the ammunition rounds, and the properties of the target.

    An Appreciation of Systems Analysis
    Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) ; 1955

    Abstract: Military systems analysis is an extension of operations-research techniques of World War II to problems of broader context and longer range—e.g., force composition and development as well as operations decisions. Greater complexity is inevitable as we attempt analyses to aid decisions affecting more distant time periods: growth in number of relevant variables, compounding of uncertainties; increased importance of enemy reactions; complications of time phasing, the need for a broader concept of criteria Techniques available to the systems analyst for dealing with these complexities are less than satisfactory. “Factoring” is inevitable. All routine or mechanistic approaches are deficient; e.g., expected value and minimax criteria. Design and criteria problems are of dominant importance. The systems analyst may have to be content with better rather than optimal solutions, or with devising and costing sensible methods of hedging; or merely with discovering critical sensitivities. He has an important role as inventor of systems. The difficulties of systems analysis are rooted in the nature of the military problems. Other methods—e.g, piecemeal analysis or intuition—do not escape them and have limitations of their own. Military systems analysis provides a framework for combining the knowledge of experts in many fields to reach solutions which transcend any individual expert's judgment.
