regarding to the diversified needs of domestic and global customers and various products of domestic and global competitors, importance of agility in supply chain management becomes more important. suppliers have to provide materials and essential resources of manufacturers in a short time without any lead time.in this research, we identified many criteria for agility in sanitation supply chain...

It was recently discovered by Baik, Deift and Johansson [4] that the asymptotic distribution of the length of the longest increasing subsequence in a permutation chosen uniformly at random from Sn, properly centred and normalised, is the same as the asymptotic distribution of the largest eigenvalue of an n × n GUE random matrix, properly centred and normalised, as n → ∞. This distribution had e...

In a famous paper 8] Hammersley investigated the length L n of the longest increasing subsequence of a random n-permutation. Implicit in that paper is a certain one-dimensional continuous-space interacting particle process. By studying a hydrodynamical limit for Hammersley's process we show by fairly \soft" arguments that limn ?1=2 EL n = 2. This is a known result, but previous proofs (Vershik-...

We compute the limit distribution for the (centered and scaled) length of the longest increasing subsequence of random colored permutations. The limit distribution function is a power of that for usual random permutations computed recently by Baik, Deift, and Johansson (math.CO/9810105). In the two–colored case our method provides a different proof of a similar result by Tracy and Widom about t...

Agility is regarded as important by many modern Defence forces, but the concept of agility is defined in many different ways. Flexibility, speed, and adaptability are some of the characteristics often associated with agility. In this paper, we outline a taxonomy which distinguishes six kinds of agility: tactical/operational agility, organisational agility, deployment agility, sustainment agilit...
