Predicting the Expected Waiting Time of Popular Attractions in Walt Disney World
(The UTSA Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Work;Volume 6, 2019)Waiting lines are inevitable consequence of imbalance in service operations at modern theme parks. Because of that, parks have introduced different approaches to reduce standard waiting time; some of which are at no extra ... -
Strategic Analysis and Evaluation of Cheesecake Factory’s Supply Chain: Uncertainties, Challenges, and Remedies
(The UTSA Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Work;Volume 6, 2019)In the business world, it is important to maintain a profitable balance between efficiency (cost) and responsiveness (to changes in the market, customer demand, etc.) We took the fundamentals of supply chain theory and ... -
Predicting the Next Big Impact: Modelling the Rate of Massive Meteorite Strikes
(The UTSA Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Work;Volume 7, 2020-12)Meteorites are solid pieces of debris from an astronomical object such as a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid that originates in outer space and survives its passage through the atmosphere to reach the surface of a planet. ... -
