Thirty production shops operate more or less autonomously to manufacture some $200,000,000 of product each year. These shops obtain parts, components and raw material from outside suppliers, and from other shops and Works in the Company. They sell to other shops and Works, Bell System Companies, and the Government. Stock investment in independent storerooms associated with the various shops is considerable, and its effective control is always of strong concern to management. It was recognized early that introduction of Operations Research and Computer methods would be of considerable benefit.","PeriodicalId":432708,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '63 (Fall)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134415695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent work by Trakhenbrot has given further support to the hypothesis that \"all algorithms can be given in the form of functional matrices and executed by the corresponding Turing Machines.\" Such a statement does not immediately suggest that all problems should be reduced to their equivalent Turing Machine, but the implication is clear that if certain problems, recognizable as algorithms, do not lend themselves to a solution in a formal logic structure, they may be reduced to a Turing scheme using a suitable strategy. Examples of such problems are revealed in the work by Lusted and Stahl in the problem of medical diagnosis and by Stahl and Goheen in simulation of the operation of biological cell systems.","PeriodicalId":432708,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '63 (Fall)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124900566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
