Nowadays, we are witnessing the growth of firms that distribute the production capacity of their products to a wide geographic range to supply the demand of several markets. In this article, the relationships and interactions between cell design and supply chain design are investigated. For this purpose, a novel integrated model is presented for designing dynamic cellular manufacturing systems ...

We consider coordination among stocking locations through replenishment strategies that explicitly take into account lateral transshipments, i.e., transfer of a product among locations at the same echelon level. Our basic contribution is the incorporation of supply capacity into the traditional transshipment model. Our goal is to analyze the impact on system behavior and on stocking locations’ ...

Mammalian expression systems, due to their capacity in post-translational modification, are preferred systems for biopharmaceutical protein production. Several recombinant protein systems have been introduced to the market, most of which are under clinical development. In spite of significant improvements such as cell line engineering, introducing novel expression methods, gene silencing and pr...

the organization of stone tool production is one of the most important aspects of lithic assemblage studies. reduction process indicates how lithic material was prepared and transported through reductive phases which can be reconstructed according to remaining material from each phase. such studies are important in explaining the differences between lithic assemblages from the same period and i...

Water use productivity is one of the most important factors in scientific agriculture. It is equal to 0. 7 kg of production per cubic meter of irrigation water (Kg/m3) in Iran which is very low in comparison with advanced countries (1 to 2 Kg/m3). Current research studies temporal and spatialchanges of water use productivity in Hamedan province in Iran using Geographic Information System (GIS),...
