An integrated production/delivery quantity model in a make-to-order producer–buyer supply chain is analyzed in this paper. The coordinated policy is achieved by scheduling single setup at the producer with multi-delivery to the buyer. We develop two synchronized cost models that include setup cost at the producer, ordering cost at the buyer, inventory carrying cost, and transportation cost that...

Video-streaming services usually feature post-processing effects to replace the background. However, these often yield inconsistent lighting. Machine-learning-based relighting methods can address this problem, but, at real-time rates, are restricted a low resolution and result in an unrealistic skin appearance. Physically-based rendering techniques require complex models that only be acquired u...

Abstract Surface science and engineering gained an increasing importance in recent years, due to the potential benefit they can offer many applications. An important parameter this field is surface wettability, that general evaluated by contact angle. One of most accurate techniques measure quantity axisymmetric drop shape analysis, based on fitting theoretical Laplace-Young profile contour exp...

There are two major difficulties in real-time multicast connection setup. One is the design of an efficient distributed routing algorithm which optimizes the network cost of routing trees under the real-time constraints. The other is the integration of routing with admission control into one single phase of operations. This paper presents a real-time multicast connection setup mechanism, which ...

this paper deals with the single machine multi-product lot scheduling problem in which defective items are produced in any production run of each product. we have adopted the common cycle scheduling policy and assumed that the setup times for production of each product can be non-zero. further, we have assumed that defective items will be reworked and the inspection costs during the normal prod...

This paper considers an economic production quantity (EPQ) model with imperfect production processes, in which the setup cost and process quality are functions of capital expenditure. The mathematical model is derived to investigate the effects of an imperfect production process on the optimal production cycle time when capital investment strategies in setup reduction and process quality improv...

Many four-year engineering technology programs require or offer course(s) that emphasize examining the transient behavior of systems. The systems can be mechanical, electrical, chemical, or any other engineering discipline. These courses are generally classified as classes covering control system theory. Unfortunately, examining the transient behavior of control systems is very difficult in a l...

Consider a machine that can start production off-target where the initial offset is unknown and unobservable. The goal is to determine the optimal series of machine adjustments that minimize the expected value of the sum of quadratic off-target costs and fixed adjustment costs. Apart of the unknown initial offset, the process is supposed to be in a state of statistical control, so the process m...
