ABSTRACT
Systems and Industrial Engineering Railroad Assignment (SIERRA) is an undergraduate project that teaches students to think in a systematic way. The tables on the following pages show the estimates given for the figures of merit based on the models developed. To increase the I/O Performance Requirement for the number of laps Train A completes, it is desirable to decompose this function into two subfunctions that allow Train A to have power until it attempts to enter the danger zone. To increase the I/O Performance Requirement for the number of laps Train B completes, it is desirable to decompose this function into two subfunctions that allow Train B to have power until it attempts to enter the danger zone. To increase the Performance Requirement for the number of laps Train A completes, it is desirable to decompose this function into two subfunctions that allow Train A to have power until it attempts to enter the danger zone.
