Resource availability model,

The plant apparency model (PAM) makes predictions about interspecific patterns of chemical defenses that are similar to the predictions of the resource availability model, but evokes differences...

The scope of a study required to satisfy these goals will be dependent upon the extent of the risk, the depth of the study required, and the level of resources available (mathematical models and tools and skilled people to perform the study and any internal or external constraints). 

The Wickens model suggests that there are finite information-processing or attentional resources available, as represented by the box in Figure 2.2. These resources can be distributed in different ways but cannot be increased. Thus, interpretation of complex or unusual information displayed by the interface will leave fewer resources available for handling the response selection and decision making demands. This provides a theoretical basis for the view of human error described in Section 1.7, which described error as a mismatch between demands and capabilities. 

The introduction of computers to many companies allows proprietary software to be used for layout design. Spreadsheet, mathematical modeling and computer-aided design (CAD) techniques are available and greatly assist the design process, and have added to the resources available to planners. However, the traditional scale models described above will still be useful to present the result to management and shop floor personnel.

A simpler and general discrete time scheduling formulation can also be derived by means of the Resource Task Network concept proposed by Pantelides [10], The major advantage of the RTN formulation over the STN counterpart arises in some problems involving many identical pieces of equipment. In these cases, the RTN formulation introduces a single binary variable instead of the multiple variables used by the STN model. The RTN-based model also covers all the features at the column on discrete time in Table 8.1. In order to deal with different types of resources in a uniform way, this approach requires only three different classes of constraints in terms ofthree types of variables defining the task allocation, the batch size, and the resource availability. Briefly, this model reduces the batch scheduling problem to a simple resource balance problem carried out in each predefined time period.
