    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Torkaman, Masoud (Author) ; Eshragh Nia Jahromi, Abdol Hamid (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Organizations are established and developed based on a specific existence policy. They would exist as long as they are able to do their basic mission. An organization could perform its mission through some work processes. The better processes makes higher organization’s productivity. In order words desirable quality and quantity of an organization depends on processing functions. Improved processes use minimum resources to achieve efficiency maximum. Deeds and Properties Registration Org. (DPRO) is a unit, which maintains and supports national security through arranging individual social and economic relations, the organization has an outstanding position. Following composition of 20-year... 

    Development of Simulation Model and Optimal Design of Water and Energy Recirculation System in Residential Towers

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Javadinia, Maryam (Author) ; Saboohi, Yadollah (Supervisor) ; Fathi, Amir Hossein (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    nowadays, due to population growth, unconventional use of water resources and on the other hand, climate change, limited renewable water resources, reduction of groundwater cavities, the need for water for agricultural use and energy production are increasing. Due to the fact that each cubic meter of dirty water pollutes 40 to 60 cubic meters of clean water and the entry of polluted effluent into the receiving sources of environmental degradation leads to a lot of wastewater treatment, water consumption management and The development of wastewater treatment processes is also becoming increasingly important. At present, wastewater treatment plants face the challenges of high energy... 

    Discovering and Improving the Processes of an Iranian Psychiatric Hospital Using Process Mining

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Roshan, Mohammad Amin (Author) ; Hassan Nayebi, Erfan (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Providing quality hospital services depends on the efficient and correct implementation of processes. Therapeutic care processes are a set of activities that are carried out with the aim of diagnosing, treating and preventing any disease in order to improve and promote the patient's health. The purpose of this study is to use process mining techniques to discover and improve healthcare processes. The case study of this research is a psychiatric hospital in Shiraz. The approach implemented in this research consists of three main stages including data pre-processing, model discovery phase, and analysis phase. Three algorithms including Heuristic Miner, Inductive Miner, and ILP Miner were used... 

    Change-point estimation of the process fraction non-conforming with a linear trend in statistical process control

    , Article International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing ; Volume 24, Issue 10 , 2011 , Pages 939-947 ; 0951192X (ISSN) Zandi, F ; Niaki, S. T. A ; Nayeri, M. A ; Fathi, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Despite the fact that control charts are able to trigger a signal when a process has changed, it does not indicate when the process change has begun. The time difference between the changing point and a signal of a control chart could cause confusions on the sources of the problems. Knowing the exact time of a process change would help to reduce the time for identification of the special cause. In this article, a model for the change-point problem is first introduced and a maximum-likelihood estimator (MLE) is applied when a linear trend disturbance is present. Then, Monte Carlo simulation is applied in order to evaluate the accuracy and the precision performances of the proposed... 

    Towards a generic framework for model-driven engineering of software process lines

    , Article ACM International Conference Proceeding Series, 31 August 2017 through 1 September 2017 ; Volume Part F130524 , 2017 ; 9781450348430 (ISBN) Agh, H ; Ramsin, R ; Rysavy, O ; Vranic, V ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Situational Method Engineering (SME)1approaches help construct bespoke software development processes according to the specifications of the project at hand, but they are time-consuming and costly. A Software Process Line (SPrL) tackles this problem by allowing software processes to be constructed for specific project situations through reusing core process assets. Model-Driven Development (MDD) has been used for automating SPrL Engineering (SPrLE); however, existing model-driven SPrLE methods are deficient as to their coverage of key MDD features. We propose a novel model-driven SPrLE approach that aims to address these shortcomings; it can be regarded as a framework that specifies the... 

    A Hybrid Approach for Evaluation and Improvement of Business Process under Uncertainty

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Jalali Chimeh, Mahdi (Author) ; Haji, Babak (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Business process management (BPM) is an approach which helps managers to gain success in their organization by becoming capable of identifying and developing their processes. Process improvement is a difficult and important step in BPM since modern organizations have a huge number of processes and activities with complex and complicated relationships and interrelationships. In this work our goal is to rank and prioritize processes based on operational limitations of the organization such as budget, human resources, consumer resources and also relationships among processes have been considered and finally develop a portfolio of processes which are vital and essential for improvement.... 

    A Model for Reducing the Cost of Organization with the Use of Process Attitude (Along with a Case Study)

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology GHahremani, Amir (Author) ; Eshraghniaye Jahromi, Abdolhamid (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Undoubtedly, reducing the organization's costs in today's world economy situation is a requisite for the survival of the organization. In order to continue their economic life, organizations must make their movements more effective by reducing costs and increasing agility and productivity. Various methods have been proposed to reduce costs, but before any measurements, identification of the reducible factors is very necessary.
    Improving processes in an organization is considered as one of the best ways to reduce costs and increase profitability. In this research, the goal is to provide a model for reducing costs using process attitude so that the associated costs of the organization can... 

    Model-Driven Approach for Software Process Line Engineering

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Agh, Halimeh (Author) ; Ramsin, Raman (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Constructing bespoke software development processes according to the specifications of the project at hand has become a crucial issue, but defining a separate process for each potential project context is a time-consuming and costly endeavor. The Software Process Line (SPrL) is a concept similar to the Software Product Line (SPL), except that it belongs to the domain of software development process engineering; it allows software processes to be constructed according to a specific context by reusing core process assets. Tailoring a process line for constructing project-specific processes is time-consuming and error-prone if done manually; therefore, it is important that a high... 

    Improving the Decision-Making Process under the Presence of Uncertainty in Airplane Conceptual Design, Creating an Intuitive Platform

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Gholinejhad, Nargess (Author) ; Banazadeh, Afshin (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Improving performance and reducing costs is a constant competition between aircraft designers, which has made multi-disciplinary optimization always part of the design process. In the design process of a conventional aircraft, there are various uncertainties in technology levels, mission parameters, costs and operating environment. It is clear that these uncertainties will make the decision-making difficult and lead to uncertainties in the output of the design; on the other hand, considering them will increase the computational cost. Understanding how much the uncertainty of each parameter will affect the overall output of the design and its performance, makes it possible to ignore the...
