“…It has been established that, in a situation where a problem involves a large number of variables with the relationship between them unknown and no solution can be found by traditional methods, a heuristic approach may provide an acceptable, approximate solution (Gilli and Schumann 2012;Satoglu, Durmusoglu and Ertay 2010;Tempelmeier and Buschkuhl 2009). This situation can be applied directly to the present state of research into the measurement of nonprofit management performance.…”

The need to measure the performance of nonprofit boards has been recognised for over 30 years primarily because of the direct relationship between board performance and organisation performance but also because identifying management strengths and weaknesses across a range of performance factors forms the basis for an effective management development programme. The results of past studies are generally inconclusive leading to a lack of consensus as to which is the best approach. The objective for this study was to demonstrate that a heuristic methodology does produce an acceptable, approximate solution to the measurement of individual management performance in a nonprofit board. Testing established that the heuristic model produced a satisfactory solution and was able to provide a detailed assessment of management strengths and weaknesses across a wide range of factors. Analysis of the results obtained from a sample of nonprofit board members provided clear evidence that management skills, management experience, relevant knowledge and commitment are key competencies for nonprofit board members. A direct, positive relationship between age and management performance was also identified.

A mathematical technique to measure nonprofit management performance has eluded researchers for more than three decades. Traditional, analytical techniques have failed to find a solution that has broad acceptance. This problem raised the following question: will heuristic methodology provide an acceptable, approximate solution to the measurement of individual management deficiency in a nonprofit organisation? The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that a heuristic methodology can be used to build a model that will measure individual management deficiency and produce an assessment of management strengths and weaknesses for the board members of nonprofit organisations. The heuristic methodology known as simulated annealing was adopted in an attempt to find an acceptable, approximate solution to the measurement of individual

“…The performance of the proposed layered cellular manufacturing system is compared with the classical cellular manufacturing system. Satoglu et al 7 propose a sequential approach composed of a mathematical model and heuristics for designing hybrid cellular manufacturing systems to facilitate one-piece flow. The one-piece flow is a design rule to reduce lead times in cellular manufacturing systems.…”

This article addresses scheduling problems for the hybrid cellular production lines in the semiconductor industry, in which the hybrid cellular production line is defined as the production system composed of both single-functional and multi-functional cellular layouts. Detailed system configuration and material flow of a hybrid cellular production line are presented, and then, the scheduling problems in the hybrid cellular production line are separated into an inter-cell scheduling problem and intra-cell scheduling problems. A multi-agent-based scheduling method is proposed for the inter-cell scheduling problem, and a real-time heuristic scheduling method is proposed for the intra-cell scheduling problem. In the simulation experiments, various scenarios have been compared under the proposed inter-cell and intra-cell scheduling methods with the hybrid cellular production line composed of six cells.
