The automotive industry is faced with an increasing severe competition. Time is an important factor at the footrace of product and process innovations. Efficient production strategies are helpful tools to react flexibly to future developments and tendencies. Proactive control with foresighted and target-oriented action can help to face up to these challenges. The sooner future developments are ...

Early warning systems (EWSs) are subject to restrictions that apply to exchange rates in general: fundamentals matter but their influence is small and unstable. Despite this limitation four major lessons emerge: First, EWSs have robust forecasting power and thus help policy-makers to prevent crises.

Abstract The aim of any early warning systems is to provide warning to people of an impending natural hazard so that those vulnerable are aware of the potential impact of the natural processes in order to respond appropriately and minimise damage. This paper looks at variables affecting the implementation of flood hazard early warning systems in a flood prone area of Zimbabwe. Documenting the e...

Abstract In this topical review, we present a brief overview of the different methods and measures to detect occurrence critical transitions in complex systems. We start by introducing mechanisms that trigger transitions, how they relate early warning signals (EWS) briefly mention conventional based on slowing down, as computed from data applied real then detail approaches for multivariate data...

The global financial crisis and, also, the pandemic situation, have generated need for early warning systems, which can predict, in due time, emergence and spread of banking crises. Macrostability deterioration increase country's risk.
