Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMeasuring Drivers’ Effect in a Cost Model by Means of Analysis of VarianceMaria Elena NenniIn this study the author goes through with the analysis of a cost model developed for Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) activities. By means of ANOVA the evaluation of impact and interaction among cost drivers is done. The predominant importance of organizational factors compared to technical ones is definitely demonstrated. Moreover the paper provides researcher and practitioners with useful information to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 24 Oct 2013 · 6,448 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Cost Advantage of Sicilian Wine FarmsSalvatore Tudisca, Anna Maria Di Trapani, Filippo Sgroi, Riccardo TestaThis study presents the results of research carried out on a Sicilian wine farm in order to demonstrate the economic convenience of the mechanized harvest. After the determination of the minimum optimal farm size that justifies the introduction of grape harvester in the farm, it has been estimated production cost and the relative profitability of two wine grape cultivars (Chardonnay … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 18 Oct 2013 · 7,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleESTIMATION OF CLAIM COST DATA USING ZERO ADJUSTED GAMMA AND INVERSE GAUSSIAN REGRESSION MODELSYulia Resti, Noriszura Ismail, Saiful Hafizah JamaanIn actuarial and insurance literatures, several researchers suggested generalized linear regression models (GLM) for modeling claim costs as a function of risk factors. The modeling of claim costs involving both zero and positive claims experience has been carried out by fitting the claim costs collectively using Tweedie model. However, the probability of zero claims in Tweedie model is not allowed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2013 · 7,263 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF A SINGLE UNIT SYSTEM WITH SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND VARIATION IN DEMANDGulshan Taneja, Reetu MalhotraThe present paper analyses the reliability and cost-benefit for a single unit system with scheduled maintenance and variation in demand. As Change in demand affects the production of system also, hence sometimes, the system needs to be shut down when the number of produces are in excess as compared to those demanded. Revenue in case of both types of up … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 30 May 2013 · 7,197 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimum Design and Cost Characteristic of Small ConveyorSuwat Nanetoe, Nitipong SoponpongpipatAlthough there are many works dealing with the economic analysis of a long conveyor, the information about a short conveyor is insufficient. This study, thus, deals with the short conveyor by studying the effect of belt width, belt length, convey capacity, and conveyor inclination angle on the cost characteristic of short conveyor. The study was done by calculating the conveyor … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 4 Jan 2013 · 7,027 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFuzzy Cost Enabled Cluster Based Multipath Routing Algorithm for Mobile Ad-Hoc NetworksM. Gomathi, G. RajendranProblem statement: This article proposes the selection of best paths in Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) based on multipath routing with fuzzy cost in respect of the Fuzzy Cost Enabled Cluster based Routing (FCECR). Approach: By implementing FCECR, we have made changes to reduce the cost and route discovery overhead for the selection of best path from multipath routing from … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 9 Aug 2012 · 7,030 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Note on the Analysis of Time Cost by Difference of Transaction System in the Agricultural Wholesale Market of KoreaYoon-Doo Kim, Seok YoonProblem statement: The purpose of this study is to prove objectively that the market-wholesaler system, introduced to agricultural wholesale market in Korea for the first time, has better operational efficiency than the existing auction system. From an analytical viewpoint, we estimated the time value of two transaction systems at the agricultural wholesale market using the calculation methods of the congestion … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2012 · 7,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMinority Serving College and University Cost EfficienciesG. Thomas SavProblem statement: Higher education minority enrollment growth has far outstripped white non-minority growth in the United States. Minority serving colleges and universities have disproportionately attended to that growth and will continue to play a critical role in providing minority educational opportunities in a knowledge based and globally diverse economy. However, they will face new and challenging budgetary and managerial reforms … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 21 Jan 2012 · 7,843 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleConstrained Probabilistic Economic Order Quantity Model under Varying Order Cost and Zero Lead Time Via Geometric ProgrammingKotb Abd-El-Hamid Mahmoud Kotb, Huda Mohamed Hamid Al-ShanbariProblem statement: In this study, we provide a simple method to determine the inventory policy of probabilistic single-item Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model, that has varying order cost and zero lead time. The model is restricted to the expected holding cost and the expected available limited storage space. Approach: The annual expected total cost is composed of three components (expected … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 3 Nov 2011 · 7,612 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign and Cost Performance of Decoding Technique for Hybrid Subcarrier Spectral Amplitude Coding-Optical Code Division Multiple Access SystemR.K.Z. Sahbudin, M.K. Abdullah, M. Mokhtar et al.Problem statement: A hybrid technique combining subcarrier multiplexed and Spectral Amplitude Coding-Optical Code Division Multiple Access (SAC-OCDMA) deploying the Khazani-Syed code was proposed. It was proposed as a mean of increasing the maximum number of simultaneous active users by increasing the subcarrier and/or the SAC-OCDMA code word. Multiple Access Interference (MAI) is the most dominant cause of performance degradation in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 4 Aug 2011 · 6,875 accessesView PDFCite
