A component stockout during the assembly process is one of the most undesirable events that can occur since the resulting line stoppage is associated with extremely high costs. In this paper we address the problem of allocating space to components along the line, subject to practical constraints. The objective is to maximize the line fill-rate; namely, the probability of no line stoppages due t...

In recent years, the trading industry in Peru has experienced a remarkable growth. However, they face several problems such as varying demand, delays order delivery and having to offer high quality products quickly at low cost. Small medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for 95% of companies, so it is necessary implement productivity tools. study, proposed model improve level service, first w...

This article proposes offline language-free writer identification based on speeded-up robust features (SURF), goes through training, enrollment, and identification stages. In all stages, an isotropic Box filter is first used to segment the handwritten text image into word regions (WRs). Then, the SURF descriptors (SUDs) of word region and the corresponding scales and orientations (SOs) are extr...

Background: Adiponectin is an adipocytokines which is secreted from the adipose tissue of human and domestic animals. No information is available regarding the follicular fluid adiponectin concentrations in dairy cows. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the follicular fluid adiponectin concentrations in different-sized follicles in the luteal phase of the estrous cycle in ...

Production scheduling is a part of operational research which relies on combinational optimization solved by discrete methods. This wide area covers different variety of problems like; vehicle routing problem, bin packing problem and job priority. In order to solve these problems, operational research applies two main principles: exact methods which provide the absolute best solution but solve ...
