Has MRP run its course? A review of contemporary developments in planning systems
The onset of global competition in the 1970s began to change the manufacturing environment drastically. The advent of the computer created an opportunity for the developers of material requirements planning (MRP) concepts to automate many of the manual practices employed in manufacturing for acquiring and tracking of materials. This resulted in more efficient manufacturing operations in terms o...
متن کاملRun-Time Parallelization: Its Time Has Come
Current parallelizing compilers cannot identify a significant fraction of parallelizable loops because they have complex or statically insufficiently defined access patterns. This type of loop mostly occurs in irregular, dynamic applications which represent more than 50% of all applications [20]. Making parallel computing succeed has therefore become conditioned by the ability of compilers to a...
متن کاملHow to Run a Roach
In this paper we study the topology of the configuration space of a device with d legs (alias ’roach’) such that at most k of them are allowed to be off the ground. We suggest control strategies providing that this roach moves stably forward starting from a ’maximal’ subset of admissible initial positions of legs. The meaning of the term ’maximal’ will be explained below. Advantages of the sugg...
متن کاملHow Does a Single Cell Know When the Liver Has Reached Its Correct Size?
The liver is a multi-functional organ that regulates major physiological processes and that possesses a remarkable regeneration capacity. After loss of functional liver mass the liver grows back to its original, individual size through hepatocyte proliferation and apoptosis. How does a single hepatocyte 'know' when the organ has grown to its final size? This work considers the initial growth ph...
متن کاملTo Run What No One Has Run Before
When program verification fails, it is often hard to understand what went wrong in the absence of concrete executions that expose parts of the implementation or specification responsible for the failure. Automatic generation of such tests would require “executing” the complex specifications typically used for verification (with unbounded quantification and other expressive constructs), somethin...
