The IBM Research Division has developed the Resource Capacity Planning (RCP) Optimizer to support the Workforce Management Initiative (WMI) of IBM. RCP applies supply chain management techniques to the problem of planning the needs of IBM for skilled labor in order to satisfy service engagements, such as consulting, application development, or customer support. This paper describes two RCP mode...

The Model Reconciliation Problem (MRP) was introduced to address issues in explainable AI planning. A solution a MRP is an explanation for the differences between models of human and planning agent (robot). Most approaches solving MRPs assume that robot, who needs provide explanations, knows model. This assumption not always realistic several situations (e.g., might decide update her model robo...

This paper explores the existence of various user environment problems (i.e. problems related to the planning organization, basic planning data, software support, education and knowledge) and explains the impact of user environment problems on the perceived planning performance of different materials planning methods (MRP, re-order point, kanban, run-out time and periodic review methods). It is...

High oxidative capacity of polyunsaturated fatty acid rich oils is the main problem with their dietary application. The main objectives of this study were to determine the effects of different encapsulants and oil loading levels on nutritive value, fatty acid profile, and oxidative stability of microencapsulated fish oil powders. Four types of wall materials [glucose syrup and maltodextrin base...

Ribonuclease P (RNase P) and RNase MRP are closely related ribonucleoprotein enzymes, which process RNA substrates including tRNA precursors for RNase P and 5.8 S rRNA precursors, as well as some mRNAs, for RNase MRP. The structures of RNase P and RNase MRP have not yet been solved, so it is unclear how the proteins contribute to the structure of the complexes and how substrate specificity is d...

The proper management of inventories in a supply chain is a complex problem. Recently, the use of directly related DRP and MRP systems in supply chains have been increasing. The spreadsheet-based simulator described in this paper was developed to integrate DRP and MRP systems for a proposed hypothetical company . A sample problem that considers all related costs was designed to illustrate how t...

Abstract. PT. T is a company in Bandung engaged the food sector. produces bread, pastries, sauces, tarts, cakes, and processed meats. sells production stores (MTS strategy) accepts consumer orders (MTO strategy). same number of raw materials for each order—meanwhile, used by that have characteristics with certain shelf life. Based on problems T, procedure proposed to determine must be prepared ...
