In manufacturing institutes the only access way to maximum profit is identifying the production mix of the products based on the limitations such as policies and politics, demand and production processes. This study identifies the constraints of a tile-manufacturing company including constraints in its production and demand line using LINGO software version 15, and identifying production bottle...

This article aims to capitalize on game theoretic techniques for optimal service marketing decision based existing literature review. The study collated relevant and reviewed the relationship that exists between theory mix—product, price, place, promotion within Telecommunication industry. Using techniques—prisoner’s dilemma, Cournot model, Bertrand quasi-game Stackelberg model making decisions...

Environmental and economic factors increasingly encourage higher utility of industrial by-products. The basic objective of this study was to identify alternative source for good quality aggregates which is depleting very fast due to fast pace of construction activities in India. EAF oxidizing slag as a by-product obtained during the process in steel making industry provides great opportunity to...

Every multinational business is faced with a very important marketing decision: to standardise or to adapt its marketing mix? This case study outlines a theoretical exegesis of global standardisation and international adaptation, presents these two perspectives. The debate between these two concepts is explored and their respective benefits considered. Subsequently, the role of the marketing mi...

In today’s dynamic market, organizations must be adaptive to market fluctuations. In addition, studies show that material-handling cost makes up between 20 and 50 percent of the total operating cost. Therefore, this paper considers the problem of arranging and rearranging, when there are changes in product mix and demand, manufacturing facilities such that the sum of material handling and rearr...

The Jakobsson hybrid Mix-net proposed by Jakobsson and Juels, is a very practical and efficient scheme for long input messages. But this hybrid Mix-net does not have public verifiable property. In this paper a new attack to the Jakobsson hybrid Mix-net is introduced. This attack breaks the robustness of the hybrid Mix-net scheme, given that the corrupted first mix server and one of the senders ...

The paper develops a model of product differentiation in which the quality of a product may be negatively affected by the number of consumers buying it, as it is the case for any good affected by congestion. It is shown that for any positive degree of heterogeneity among the consumers, a monopolist will always find it more profitable to differentiate, i.e., to sell more than one quality of the ...

In this paper, we describe a content language for a hierarchically organized production control system in semiconductor manufacturing. The semiconductor manufacturing domain is characterized by re-entrant product flows, sequence-dependent setup-times, prescribed due-dates, a diverse product mix, a mix of different process types including batch processes and preventive maintenance issues caused ...

Diffusion models have been used traditionally in marketing for capturing the lifecycle dynamics of a new product, for forecasting the demand for a new product, and as a decision aid in making pre-launch, launch and post-launch strategic choices. Since their entrance into marketing, diffusion models have become increasingly complex. This complexity has been driven by the need to enhance the fore...

We investigate tactical level planning problems in float glass manufacturing. Float glass manufacturing is a process that has some unique properties such as uninterruptible production, random yields, partially controllable co-production compositions, complex relationships in sequencing of products, and substitutable products. Furthermore, changeover times and costs are very high, and production...
