The manufacturing industry has a great impact on the economic growth of countries. It is, therefore, crucial to master skills production system by mathematical tools that enable evaluation systems’ performance measures. Four approaches toward modeling steady-state behavior serial Bernoulli lines were considered in this study, namely, analytical approach, finite state method, aggregation procedu...

A new semi-analytical approach to estimate the influence of directly modulated semiconductor laser noise on direct detection system performance is proposed and its accuracy is analysed utilizing rigorous mixed semi-analytical simulation. It is shown that this new semi-analytical approach gives a more precise upper bound than the one obtained by other approach currently used, and differences of ...

the development of a conceptual model that best accounts for the different parameters influencing lnapl fate and transport in groundwater is ultimate the key to a successful simulation of lnapl concentration in groundwater. characterization of hydrocarbon sources and identification of areas with heavy lnapl loadings from point and non-point sources is important for land use planners and environ...

Supplier selection attained the state of paramount importance for companies in the current scenario because of increasing global competition. Improper selection of suppliers will have an adverse impact on the overall performance of the company. The number of available alternatives in the current market is on a rise, and hence it becomes difficult to select a supplier from among a large lot. An ...

Steps of an information networks’ creating through the formalization of one of their most important input parameters are proposed in the article. Stages of collecting information about users, the formalization of the data and analytical methods are described. The information networks’ user model is used to improve the efficiency and reliability of information networks’ modeling. In the proposed...

The availability of innumerable intelligent building (IB) products, and the current dearth of inclusive building component selection methods suggest that decision makers might be confronted with the quandary of forming a particular combination of components to suit the needs of a specific IB project. Despite this problem, few empirical studies have so far been undertaken to analyse the selectio...
