This paper considers remanufactured products entering new markets without competing with prototype products, which we call non-competitive remanufacturing(NCR). Changes in the functionality of urge manufacturer to adopt a market diversification strategy, leads face barriers when industry. In this paper, study manufacturer's production and remanufacturing decisions NCR environment consider two s...

in early 21st century, rapid and all- inclusive global change has transformed so much the working environment of organizations that the organizations and their managers are obliged to find new ways for their actions to adapt to global change and evolution, so that they can survive in the domestic and global competition arena. in fact, an organization will be successful that can achieve a sustai...

Process optimization is one of the most important activities in todays competitive industries. the rather high cost of research and development has necessitated the development of experimental methods by which the factors affecting processes could be determined with minimum number of experiments. Over the last two decades, various types of experimental designs have been used. Among the differe...

Todays multimodal systems, which allow full-body (3D) gestures and speech as input modalities, are quite restricted to easily interpretable coverbal gestures with a prede ned shape and meaning. In this paper, we propose methods to abstract the concrete shape of gestures by using high-level features and to integrate them with coexpressive words using their phonological attributes. The applicatio...

With the increasing complexity of todays’ parallel computer systems and the design time being exponential in the number of system parts used, parallel design automation has become a necessity, rather than a luxury. The system parts are modeled using objectoriented technologies such that not only are the static features of the components encapsulated, but also are the dynamic design states. A sy...

Mergers between enterprises or carved-out parts thereof are a common phenomenon in todays economic environment. They nevertheless form a major challenge for enterprise architects, who have to consolidate, i.e. to harmonize and integrate the business capabilities in the newly formed enterprise, reducing redundancy as far as possible. This article presents a best practice approach to this consoli...

Today human gait analysis systems are mainly laboratory optics based systems. Sometimes these devices could restric patients’ natural movements because of their construction and/or weight. Therefore [1, 2, 5] measurement results may be completed by some errors. Secondly, there are no fully-compact systems commercially available , which could provide mesurement of selected gait parameters heving...

Todays manufacturing industry faces big challenges. The market demands a very flexible production process which adjusts quickly to e.g. changing characteristics of the produced goods or different lot sizes and which tries to minimize production costs as much possible. In order to meet these challenges todays production control systems become more and more decentralized [GBFG96]. The building bl...

Softwares ability to adapt at run-time to changing user needs, system intrusions or faults, changing operational environment, and resource variability has been proposed as a means to cope with the complexity of todays softwareintensive systems. Such self-adaptive systems can configure and reconfigure themselves, augment their functionality, continually optimise themselves, protect themselves, a...
