This paper mainly studies the distribution center location of FMCG agricultural products. It assumes that the decayed rate of perishable products is linearly changing, and builds FMCG agricultural products distribution center location model of the lowest total cost. Filter the optimal distribution center using the combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis, with approximation algorith...

BACKGROUND Mandatory generic substitution was introduced in Sweden in October 2002 in order to try to curb escalating pharmaceutical expenditure. The aim of this study was to investigate how sales patterns for substitutable and non-substitutable pharmaceuticals have developed since the introduction of mandatory generic substitution; furthermore, to compare sales patterns in different groups of ...

The freshness of perishable products, in addition to other economic aspects such as production, inventory, and transportation management, is one the main challenges food supply chains. Therefore, integration routing decisions essential. In this study, a new production model for products with uncertain demand presented. aim minimize costs routing, wasted penalties non-fresh products. more applic...

In the inventory model, people usually assume that the inter-demand times are independent and identically distributed, but that may not be true in reality. This limitation motivated us to seek greater understanding of an important class of inventory models with dependent demand. In this paper we analyze an ( ) S s, continuous review perishable inventory system with a Markovian renewal demand pr...

Inferring the substitutable and complementary products for a given product is an essential fundamental concern recommender system. To achieve this, existing approaches take advantage of knowledge graphs to learn more evidences inference, whereas they often suffer from invalid reasoning lack elegant decision making strategies. Therefore, we propose novel Knowledge-Aware Path Reasoning (KAPR) mod...
