Cooperation between manufacturing enterprises has recently become widespread in order to cope with newly emerged challenges, such as growing customer expectations, increasing product variety and decreasing product lifecycles. Nowadays the response to these challenges seems to be the formation of tight relations in supply chains and networks, which enables joint handling of market risks and invo...

• There are two main types of strokes: ischemic and hemorrhagic. • Ischemic strokes are far more common than hemorrhagic strokes. • The brain has a blood supply which is fairly consistent between individuals. • Ischemic strokes can be due to large-vessel atherosclerosis, aortocardioembolism, small-vessel occlusion, other determined causes, and undetermined causes. • Hemorrhagic strokes are most...

The scenario of isolated companies competing with each other has evolved to a holistic vision, where collaborate and work together maintain supply chain competitiveness. Integrated planning, although challenging, is necessary foster competitive advantage ensure companies' survival in difficult times. Concepts technologies introduced by the Fourth Industrial Revolution support such integrated pl...

Collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR) coordinates the various supply chain management activities including production and purchase planning, demand forecasting and inventory replenishment between supply chain trading partners. This study proposes a systematic way of analyzing CPFR supporting factors using fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) approach. FCMs have proven particularly u...

Resilience of power systems is already a key issue that getting frequent attention all over the world. It useful to analyze resilience issues not only for bulk supply, but at levels including customer level. This because distributed energy resources can play prominent role in enhancing resilience. Although literature on planning models, tools and data supply distribution have expanded recent ye...

composite pressure vessel cng made of epoxy – carbon material with nonmetal liner is 60% lighter than aluminum vessel under the same conditions. one of the important parameters in the pressure vessels design is their resistance against impact and prevention of explosion. in this paper, the effects of low velocity impact on composite pressure vessel are investigated using fe analysis. the vessel...
