OBJECTIVE To develop a clinically useful patient-reported screening tool for health care providers to identify patients with spasticity in need of treatment regardless of etiology. DESIGN Eleven spasticity experts participated in a modified Delphi panel and reviewed and revised 2 iterations of a screening tool designed to identify spasticity symptoms and impact on daily function and sleep. Sp...

this paper considers the fuzzy inventory model for deteriorating items for power demand under fully backlogged conditions. we define various factors which are affecting the inventory cost by using the shortage costs. an intention of this paper is to study the inventory modelling through fuzzy environment. inventory parameters, such as holding cost, shortage cost, purchasing cost and deteriorati...

This arrangement represents an excellent example of waste and cost reduction, because the containers are durable and reusable. Ideally, there should be little cost for the OEM associated with them beyond initial purchase: containers may need routine maintenance and are replaced as they wear out in the normal course of events. For the suppliers, there should be no cost at all. By driving waste a...

An effective game will help students understand concepts more quickly and remember them better than from a lecture. The game used here is a simulation of an inventory system, where student teams place orders for an item on a monthly basis (based on limited knowledge of prior demand), and then the instructor informs them what the demand is for that month. There are holding costs for items not so...

In this paper, a production quantity model with random defective items, service level constraints and repair failure is studied. The existence of only one machine results in limited production capacity and partial backordering. The aim of this research is to determine the optimal cycle length, optimal production quantity and optimal backordered quantity of each product such that the expected to...

background: heat stress is one of the most important consequences of occupational heat exposure worldwide. current heat stress indexes are not suitable for heat strain screening in developing countries due to their inherent and applied limitations. a new observation and subjective screening method is required that needs no instrument. in this study, a scale is developed based on the most import...

Abstract -In this paper, we developed a fuzzy optimal replenishment policy for Inventory models of Weibull Deterioration items with Ramp type Demand under permissible delay in payments. Deterioration of items begins on their arrival in stock. The shortages are allowed and partially backlogged. All the inventory costs involved in this model are taken as triangular fuzzy numbers. Replenishment cy...
