relief wells are used extensively to relieve excess hydrostatic pressure in pervious foundation strata overlain by impervious top strata, conditions which often exist landward of levees and downstream of dams and hydraulic structures. placing well outlets in below-surface trenches or collector pipes helps dry up seepage areas downstream of levees and dams. relief wells are often used in combina...

Paper aims The objectives of this paper are: (i) to analyze the impacts Inventory Record Inaccuracy (IRI) on picking productivity (PP), lost sales (LS), and warehouse capacity utilization (WCU) for different warehouses; (ii) verify if Cycle Counting (CC) implementation is sufficient reduce IRI (iii) number CC operators maintain performance. Originality A causal loop diagram in detail variable's...

This paper presents an equilibrium model of the term structure of forward prices for storable commodities. Our approach differs from Brennan (1991) and Schwartz (1997) in that we do not explicitly assume an exogenous "convenience yield." Rather, our spot commodity has an embedded timing option that is absent in forward contracts, which arises from a non-negativity constraint on inventory. The v...

In e-commerce warehouses, online retailers increase their efficiency by using a mixed-shelves (or scattered storage) concept, where unit loads are purposefully broken down into single items, which individually stored in multiple locations. Irrespective of the stock keeping units customer jointly orders, this storage strategy increases likelihood that somewhere warehouse items requested will be ...
