demand management is one of the main subjects in marketing which affects the operations performance of an organization considerably. in the classic production planning approach, demand is considered as an exogenous factor in planning, while in the new approach, it is a factor that can be controlled. in this paper, we focus on a new approach in supply chain planning and present an integrated pro...

In this environment, evaluations of manufacturing partners and integrated production-planni...

Expression of the PSR132 protein from Dianthus caryophyllus (carnation, clover pink) is induced in response to ethylene production associated with petal senescence, and thus the protein is named petal death protein (PDP). Recent work has established that despite the annotation of PDP in sequence databases as carboxyphosphoenolpyruvate mutase, the enzyme is actually a C-C bond cleaving lyase exh...

Increased reliance on agile manufacturing techniques has created a demand for systems to solve integrated process-planning and production-scheduling problems in lasge-scale dynamic environments. To be effective, these systems hould provide useroriented interactive functionality for managing the various user tasks and objectives and reacting to unexpected vents. This paper describes the mixed-in...

We address a novel integrated maintenance and production scheduling problem in a multi-machine and multi-period production system, considering maintenance as a long-term decision. Deterioration of machines over time decreases production capacity. Since maintenance activities improve machine conditions, increasing production capacity, but also take time that cannot be used for production, the ch...

In this article, I survey the integrated connectionist/symbolic (ICS) cognitive architecture in which higher cognition must be formally characterized on two levels of description. At the microlevel, parallel distributed processing (PDP) characterizes mental processing; this PDP system has special organization in virtue of which it can be characterized at the macrolevel as a kind of symbolic com...

Mental representations have continuous as well as discrete, combinatorial properties. For example, while predominantly discrete, phonological representations also vary continuously; this is reflected by gradient effects in instrumental studies of speech production. Can an integrated theoretical framework address both aspects of structure? The framework we introduce here, Gradient Symbol Process...

In today’s competitive global market place, agility has become a survival factor for many manufacturers. A key measurement of manufacturing agility is the time it takes an organization to respond to market changes. The production management system used by most manufacturers today has disconnected planning and execution processes. This situation often hinders the manufacturer to fully explore ma...
