Drum–Buffer–Rope is a theory of constraints production planning methodology that operates by developing a schedule for the system’s first bottleneck. The first bottleneck is the bottleneck with the highest utilization. In the theory of constraints, any job that is not processed at the first bottleneck is referred to as a free good. Free goods do not use capacity at the first bottleneck, so very...

olive oil is one of the foods that are preferred by consumers seeking healthy nutrition. healthy, safety and high quality olive oil production can only be achieved in olive oil enterprises that follow these criteria. therefore, food safety and quality management systems should be placed in these olive oil enterprises. the aim of this study was to determine behaviors and attitudes of firm owners...

In this paper, we investigate the association between the strength of information technology controls over management information systems and the subsequent forecasting ability of the information produced by those systems. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 highlights the importance of information system controls by requiring management and auditors to report on the effectiveness of internal contro...

Precise and accurate prediction models for duration and cost enable contractors to improve their decision making for effective resource management in terms of sustainability in construction. Previous studies have been limited to cost-based estimations, but this study focuses on a material-based progress management method. Cost-based estimations typically used in construction, such as the earned...

This document specifies Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) attributes for authorizing management access to a Network Access Server (NAS). Both local and remote management are supported, with granular access rights and management privileges. Specific provisions are made for remote management via Framed Management protocols and for management access over a secure transport protoc...

This study examines differences in cost and recycling performance between single and multi-stream recycling systems in Ontario, Canada. Using panel data from 223 provincial municipalities spanning a ten year period, focus is placed on analyzing: (a) Are material management costs for municipalities who implement single stream collection less than those that implement multi stream collection? (b)...

We consider the strategic planning of recurrent projects and their material supplies over an extended period of time. We propose a mathematic modeling framework – the project-driven supply chain (PDSC) – to integrate project management (resource planning and scheduling within each project) with material supply management (lead-time planning based on multiproject statistics). For tree structure ...

Polymeric insulators need proper management and maintenance. Without proper management, the electric devices can be affected by factors such as leakages in the electricity system. In outdoor insulation, the environment subjects the material to a variety of stresses simultaneously that can lead to rapid degradation and loss of the insulation properties. Contamination of the surface of the insula...
