The rapidly developing, worldwide marketplace is leading to the geographical dispersion of production, assembly and distribution operations. This paper deals with three aspects of international logistics networks: strategic, tactical and operational. The strategic level designs the logistics network, including prescribing facility locations, production technologies and plant capacities. The tac...

Bacteriophage Mu baseplate protein gene product 44 (gp44) is an essential protein required for the assembly of viable phages. To investigate the roles of gp44 in baseplate assembly and infection, gp44 was crystallized at pH 6.0 in the presence of 20% 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol. The crystals belong to space group R3, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 127.47, c = 63.97 A. The crystals diffract X-ra...

Today, planning and control of logistic processes on automobile terminals are generally executed by centralised logistics systems, which in many cases cannot cope with the high requirements for flexible order processing due to increasing dynamics and complexity. The main business processes on automobile terminals – notification of vehicles by automobile manufacturer, transport to automobile ter...

China’s automobile industry has made great progress and contributed a lot to national economic development, but the problems such as dispersion, small, disorderly, worse" in the industry is still very serious. Starting from the SCP paradigm theory in China’s automobile industry, the article analyses the problems including the market structure, market conduct and market performance in China’s au...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of Supply Chain Management (SCM) practices of twenty-five select firms in India. Our exploratory study covers a wide spectrum of firms. These comprise retail chains, logistic service providers, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies, a hotel, a power generation unit, electrical and electronic goods manufacturers, automobile companies and their anc...

An important goal in schedule production orders through a manufacturing facility is to assure that the work is completed as close as possible to its due date. Work that is late creates downstream delays, while early completion can be detrimental if storage space is limited. Production planning and control manufacturing is becoming more difficult as family products increase and quantity decrease...

Creatingmany different versions or customizations by configuring a collection of components is a desirable goal in many domains. A single automobile production line can support the assembly of customized variations of a car model. Software product line engineering enables the creation of many similar software systems from a shared set of software assets. In this article we discuss how a collect...

walking being the oldest form of urban transport, and until the advent of major transformationsin transport technology in the nineteenth century, most cities were structured in ways that supported walkability.today, there is a change in transportation which emphasizes, the traditional pedestrian paths which are increasinglybecoming non-regulated spaces when compared to the urban spaces for auto...

in this paper, an attempt has been made to investigate the reflectance of various colours and effects of vary-ing colours on human working and production. different colours have different reflectance and energy associ-ated with it. colours play a significant role in the colour scheme of the houses, offices, factories etc. the col-ours may be seen on walls, tabletops, equipment, machines etc. in...

According to the complexity of automobile logistics, we take one company’s automobile logistics as sample to analyze dynamics characteristics of logistic system and to set up system model by applying nonlinear dynamics theory and measure. Also, we can prove that it is applicable to study automobile logistics by this model according to the analysis of the model’s chaotic dynamics characteristics...
