The main task of WISE organization is to identify potential planets where<br \/>\nhumans can settle and extend the civilization. The organization was established after active<br \/>\nparticipation of all the countries. All the countries of the world realized that the current rate of<br \/>\npopulation growth may be unsustainable by the available space and resources on earth. Thus, WISE<br \/>\nwas formed to identify potential planets that can provide basic needs for humans. Human beings can<br \/>\nbe deployed in such planets with constant support until they establish sustainable system on the<br \/>\nplanets. Once such system is successfully established, then the planets can become autonomous. In<br \/>\nfact, the indigenous resources of the planet can enhance the current potential of the human beings.<br \/>\nThe organization is looking for Industrial Engineers (IEs) to help in decision-making of this space<br \/>\nexploration project. Specifically, your team is formed by the WISE organization to design a successful<br \/>\nplan for the implementation of Phase-1 space exploration activities. The main objectives in Phase-1<br \/>\nare described as follows:<br \/>\n1. Design the optimal tour for the spaceships.<br \/>\n2. Optimize the amount of resources to be packed in the spaceships.<br \/>\n3. Identify the hub planets and the location of satellites\/relay stations.<br \/>\nRelevant data and details are provided in the following pages of this document. Since the organization<br \/>\nis unaware of the methodologies that you will be using to design the plan, you are allowed to make<br \/>\nreasonable assumptions for the missing data. You are expected to use the standards wherever<br \/>\napplicable. Your goal is to provide the organization with the best possible solution.<\/p>\n<p>\nBy the year 3000 AD, human population level on earth became unsustainable due to the limited<br \/>\namount of resources available on planet earth. Thus, all the world governments agreed to form<br \/>\nWormhole International Space Exploration (WISE) organization. The goal of WISE organization is<br \/>\nto identify possible planets where humans can live with basic support from the planet?s enormous efforts from international governmental collaborations and hypersonic spaceships,<br \/>\nhumans have been safely distributed across the planets. However, now the main issues is their<br \/>\nsustenance. Apparently, it will take at least another 50 years for the humans (deployed on the other<br \/>\nplanets) to setup a livable sustainable system on the planet. The system includes: agriculture, medicine,<br \/>\nindustrial, academic, and defense sectors. In addition to that, mining and exploring the planet for its<br \/>\nindigenous resources will be considered after Phase-1 of 50 years. Thus, the success of the space<br \/>\nmission relies heavily on the success of Phase-1.<br \/>\nThe primary challenge of Phase-1 is to continuously supply the 400 planets with enough resources<br \/>\nfrom earth. It is estimated that at least for the next 20 years, the resources must be shipped and<br \/>\nreplenished to the planets on a regular basis. The primary challenge can be divided into the following<br \/>\nobjectives:<br \/>\nObjective-1: Design the optimal tour for the spaceships<br \/>\nDue to the resource limitations on earth, currently there are only 6 hypersonic spaceships on earth<br \/>\nthat can be used in parallel for delivering the resources. The aim is to find a closed tours for the<br \/>\nspaceships (starting and ending on earth) such that the maximum distance travelled by each spaceship<br \/>\nis minimized (the planets should be visited only once by any ship). In addition to that, using all the 6<br \/>\nships simultaneously may not be wise, i.e., few ships can be kept for the backup. Thus, the first<br \/>\nobjective is to find the optimal length of the tour for the above criterion when ?? ships are used, where<br \/>\n?? = 1, ? ,6. Based on the optimal length of the tours for various values of ??, the decision makers at<br \/>\nWISE will decide on the number of ships and tours to be used for delivering the resources. The<br \/>\ncoordinates of all the planets are provided in excel sheet titled Coordinates under the excel workbook<br \/>\nDATA01610421.xls.<br \/>\nObjective-2: Optimize the amount of resources to be packed in the spaceships<br \/>\nOnce a ship is selected for dispatching the necessary resources to a group of planets, it should be<br \/>\npacked efficiently with the resources. Each resource has a level of significance per unit (on a scale of<br \/>\n1-100) for the survival of human race. The aim is to maximize the total significance level of resources<br \/>\nthat are packed on the ship. Each planet has a minimum requirement per trip of the ship for each<br \/>\nresource that must be met for the survival of the people. The capacity of the ship (C), the total number<br \/>\nof resources (R), minimum value per planet per trip (Lr), the volume (Vr) per unit, and the level of<br \/>\nsignificance (Sr) for each resource are provided in the excel sheet titled Dispatch, under the excel<br \/>\nworkbook DATA01610421.xls.<br \/>\nObjective-3: Identify the hub planets and the location of satellites\/relay stations<br \/>\nThis objective can be divided into the following sub-objectives:<br \/>\n(3a) In order to establish continuous communication with the planets, WISE would like to install<br \/>\nsatellites and relay stations. The aim is to build communication among all the planets including earth.<br \/>\nThus, a relay station on each planet must be built. In addition to that, some planets will be selected to<br \/>\nmaintain a satellite. That is, a satellite will be associated with a planet (say hub planet). This satellite<br \/>\ncan receive (or send) signals from (or to) relay station of the other planets, if the distance between the<br \/>\nrelay station and the hub planet is less than 50 ? 1013 ????. The objective is to find the set of hub<br \/>\nplanets such that the total maintenance cost is minimized. The cost of maintenance of the satellite at<br \/>\neach planet (CMp) is given in the excel sheet titled Satellites-1, under the workbook<br \/>\nDATA01610421.xls.<br \/>\n(3b) In addition to that, finding the locations of the satellite and relay stations is very crucial. In this<br \/>\nsub-objective, the focus in on identifying the location of the satellites. The idea is to keep the satellite<br \/>\nnear the hub planet, but also to minimize the total distance from the other planets. Following figure<br \/>\nillustrates the scenario. The objective is to find the optimal location of the satellite for the following<br \/>\nconfiguration of 1 hub planet and 10 neighbor planets. The data related for the following configuration<br \/>\nis given in the excel sheet titled Satellites-2, under the workbook DATA01610421.xls.<br \/>\n(3c) Finally, the location of the relay stations on the planet can be obtained from the location of the<br \/>\nassociated satellite. The focus of this sub-objective is to identify the location of the relay station based<br \/>\non the location of the satellite. For example, based on the location of the satellite the nearest point on<br \/>\nthe planet can be taken as the spot for building the relay stations. For the following configuration of<br \/>\n1 hub planet and 10 neighbor planets, identify the location of the relay station on all the planets in the<br \/>\nconfiguration. Ignore the rotations of the planets for this sub-objective.<br \/>\nHub<br \/>\nPlanet<br \/>\nSatellite can be located<br \/>\nanywhere inside the<br \/>\ngreen region.<br \/>\n4 ? 105????<br \/>\nsatellite<br \/>\nPla<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a two to three page paper, please discuss the following: Assume a person accidentally picks up a credit card that is not theirs and uses the card in several instances.
