Today, information networks play an important role in supply chain management. Therefore, in this article, clustering-based routing protocols, which are one of the most important ways to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor networks, are used to optimize the supply chain informational cloud network. Accordingly, first, a clustering protocol is presented using self-organizing map neu...

The upgrading of industrial cluster is upgrading along the value chain, improving the added value of products, which is from low-end to high-end in the value chain. Industrial cluster is made up of one or several supply chain in a certain geographic area concentration, and has a coupling between them. The development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integration has entered a new stage of resource i...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to give some theoretical suggestions and practical approaches in support of the implementation of “cluster supply chain” (CSC), which is a new management paradigm and enhances the competitiveness of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through integrating the advantages of supply chain and industrial cluster. Design/methodology/approach – A case study of cl...

Alkyl chain dynamics in monolayer protected metal cluster systems has been studied by the quasielastic neutron scattering technique, using two different instruments having very different energy windows. Long chain thiolate protected clusters such as Au–ODT (Au–SC18H37) are rotationally frozen at room temperature ~RT! in a wide time scale of 10 to 10 s. The rotator phase is absent at RT even in ...

Considering the background of cloud manufacturing and cluster supply chain, we build the basic model to assign the orders priority within each capacity. Then, considering the inter-chain horizontal cooperation, the extended model is proposed to parallel allocation of cross-chain orders as the orders exceeding one single-chain’s capacity. Lagrange algorithm is implemented, and the simulation ana...
