We suggest a novel approach to modelling and solving production planning (PP) problems in make-to-order production environments. This approach unifies the capacity and the material flow oriented aspects of PP. Orders are modelled as projects that compete for limited resources. The projects consist of networks of variable-intensity activities which may require several resources at the same time....

The importance of material flow management for a profit-maximizing firm has been well-articulated in the supply chain literature. We demonstrate in our analytical model that a firm must also actively manage information flows within the supply chain, which translates to controlling what it knows, as well as what its competitors and suppliers know. In our model of horizontal competition between a...

The concept of the system is not only a management material but also integrated management resource, correction of mistake of medical treatment, application to EBM by the data mining of medical records. As for this system, it has become to grasp medical practice and medical material, which did not understand on current electronic receipt processing system accurately. In POAS (Point Of Act syste...

Energy consumption share in construction part and dependent industries is about 40 percent of total energy consuming in Iran which is significant compared to other industries such as transportation, agriculture and therefore is of important. As energy consumption reduction and material durability improvement leads to cost reduction from one hand and environment pollution reduction on the othe...

sediment-related environmental problems pose a serious threat to sustainable land management in many developing countries, including iran. information regarding sediment sources represents a key requirement from the management perspective since identification of sediment sources is a precursor to the design of effective sediment management and control strategies. the fingerprinting approach has...

Al Buraimi University College (BUC) is one of the well-known private colleges in The Sultanate of Oman, in Al Dhahra region, which is affiliated with California State University Northridge (CSUN), USA. It is well-known that Knowledge management can help in identifying the gaps and weaknesses in organizations and suggesting effective solutions. This paper focuses on the learning process itself. ...

today the domain of competition in production and operation has been changed to supply chains for independent firms. in this problem material flow is very important among three flows, financial, information and materials. traditional approach is dominated in supply, production and distribution planning at most iranian industrial cooperation. it means that each of these unit are planning their a...
