Generic Plan of Food Safety Management System Based on ISO 22000:2005 for Aflatoxin Control in Raw Pistachio Processing Units from Raw Material Reception to Packaging

Pistachio is one of the most important agricultural crops of Iran. It is a nut from Anacardiacea family and its domesticated species is called Pistacia vera L. Regarding to pistachio importance and usage and by the expanding of pistachio cultivate, it is necessary to improve agricultural situation and by establishing well equipped processing and packaging units near the farms, it is possible to...

Acquisition Management Under Fluctuating Raw Material Prices

We study a continuous-review acquisition problem, in which the raw material price follows a discrete-state Markov process and demand is compound Poisson. We show that one optimal policy is of the order-up-to type. Under our mean reversion and time continuity conditions, we further show that the order-up-to levels are decreasing at the current price level. At the same time, our computational stu...

The Model for the Calculation of the Dispersed Iron Ore Resource Purchase Cost in the World Class Manufacturing (wcm) Logistics Pillar Context

M. Dudek, AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Faculty of Management, Poland In the blast-furnace production, raw materials may account for approx. 50 % of the pig-iron manufacture costs. Therefore, any, even small, saving in the sphere of raw material purchasing will translate into the reduction in the cost of the pig-iron manufacture. The selection of appropriate supply sources a...

Data integration for analyzing gene expression data

Various user groups at the University of Leipzig use microarray technology (mainly from Affymetrix Inc.) for gene expression analysis in their research and are producing several hundreds of experiment a year. To manage the large amounts of data resulting from these experiments, a comprehensive database solution is necessary, in particular to store raw microarray data as well as derived data and...
