Disease management programs offer the benefits of lower disease occurrence, improved patient care, and lower healthcare costs. In such programs, the key mechanism used to identify individuals at risk for targeted diseases is the data warehouse. This article surveys recent warehousing techniques from HMOs to map out critical issues relating to the preparation, design, and implementation of a suc...

We propose a tactical model which integrates the replenishment decision in inventory management, the allocation of products to warehousing systems and the assignment of products to storage locations in warehousing management. The purpose of this article is to analyse the value of integrating warehouse and inventory decisions. This is achieved by proposing two methods for solving this tactical i...

We present a study of the following warehouse view-selection problem: Given a frequency distribution on parameterized aggregate queries on a data warehouse, return definitions of aggregate views that, when materialized in the warehouse, would minimize the evaluation costs of the frequent queries, subject to a storage limit constraint. Optimizing the layout of stored data using view selection ha...

Themain topic of this thesis is the solving of real-world combinatorial optimization problems from two domains: storage location assignments and picking tour computations in warehouse management as well as the reconstruction of destructed paper documents from the field of forensics. Although from the application point of view these two topics have not much in common, parallels can be identified...

We model the problem of storing items in some warehouse (modeled as an undirected graph) where a server has to visit items over time, with the goal of minimizing the total distance traversed by the server. Special cases of this problem include the management of a real industrial stacker crane warehouse G], automatic robot run warehouses Ho], disk track optimization to minimize access time GS, P...

The contributions of crop germplasm resources to food security depend on their conservation and accessibility for use. automated warehouse has begun be applied the ex situ preservation in genebank. Identifying proper storage scheme potentially hundreds thousands seeds is a primary task that faces genebank manager during design new There are mainly three areas focus on, hardware software, assign...

Although Internet/Intranet topology has radically evolved communications for information workers, the access and transfer of large volumes of data through this topology is still inefficient and is not inherently conducive to point-in-time recall. Because information managers make real time decisions based on relevant subsets of an enterprise data warehouse, data marts are required for optimized...

Although relational databases (RDBMS) are the most common choice for data warehouse implementations, their record-based structure is far from ideal. As data volumes grow and users demand more sophisticated analytical capabilities, the deficiencies of the RDBMS to data storage become more conspicuous. RDBMS data warehouse systems are difficult to design; extremely inefficient in their use of dis...

Under the background of a pharmaceutical company, this paper describes the problems in ex-warehousing, warehousing, inventory management process, which including low level of information, excessive label work and manual production operations, complex work processes, high working strength in employees and so on. In order to solve these problems, this paper makes a description of these issues and...
