Abstract For various reasons, students receive less formative feedback at post-secondary institutions compared to secondary school. Considering as one of the most important influencing factors on learning processes, is a promising approach improving students’ performances. In this context, new technologies, such management systems (LMS) or intelligent tutoring (ITS), can make valuable contribut...

Quantum technologies are moving towards the development of novel hardware devices based on quantum bits (qubits). In parallel to devices, efficient simulation tools needed in order design and benchmark algorithms applications before deployment hardware. this context, we present a first attempt perform circuit-based using just-in-time (JIT) compilation technique multiple architectures configurat...

Valid, direct observation of medical student competency in clinical settings remains challenging and limits the opportunity to promote performance-based student advancement. The rationale for direct observation is to ascertain that students have acquired the core clinical competencies needed to care for patients. Too often student observation results in highly variable evaluations which are ske...

Effective and efficient material handling (MH) system is crucial in any Just in Time (JIT) production system. A Gravity Flow Rack (GFR) system is one of the very well adopted MH system and very practical in order to optimize the effectiveness of the JIT production system. This paper presents a review on the actual implementation of a GFR system at an automotive component’s assembly line in an a...

Run-time specialization (RTS) techniques efficiently generate specialized programs with respect to run-time values. They construct compiled native-code fragments called templates at compile-time, and generate a specialized program by merely copying the templates. The generated programs are less efficient than those generated by static partial evaluation techniques because the RTS techniques pre...

Trace compilation is a technique used by just-in-time (JIT) compilers such as TraceMonkey, the JavaScript engine in the Mozilla Firefox browser. Contrary to traditional JIT machines, a trace compiler works on only part of the source program, normally a linear path inside a heavily executed loop. Because the trace is compiled during the interpretation of the source program the JIT compiler has a...

Lean manufacturing is a production philosophy made popular by Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC). It is globally known as the Toyota Production System (TPS) and has the ultimate aim of reducing cost by thoroughly eliminating wastes or muda. TPS embraces the Just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing; achieving cost reduction through lead time reduction. JIT manufacturing can be achieved by implementing Pull ...

Appropriate scheduling and sequencing of tasks on machines is one of the basic and significant problems that a shop or a factory manager encounters with it, this is why in recent decades extensive researches have been done on scheduling issues. A type of scheduling problems is just-in-time (JIT) scheduling and in this area, motivated by JIT manufacturing, this study investigates a mathematical ...

This paper studies the multi-stage supply chain system (MSSCM) controlled by the kanban mechanism. In the kanban system, decision making is based on the number of kanbans as well as batch sizes. A kanban mechanism is employed to assist in linking different production processes in a supply chain system in order to implement the scope of just-in-time (JIT) philosophy. For a MSSCM, a mixed-integer...
