Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimizing the Deployment of the Overall Maturity Improvement Plan for Information Systems Risk ManagementFatima Ezzahra Ettahiri, Mina El Maallam, Hicham Bensaid, Mahmoud NassarMaturity models contribute considerably to the continuous improvement of the various business processes. However, the most important challenge for these tools after assessing maturity is how to define effective and efficient improvement plans especially in the case of an organization having multiple Information Systems (IS). This study presents an algorithm for optimizing the deployment of the overall maturity improvement plan … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 20 Mar 2022 · 6,505 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA New Spectral Conjugate Gradient Method for Nonlinear Unconstrained OptimizationIbtisam A. Masmali, Zabidin Salleh, Ahmad AlhawaratTheconjugate gradient method is widely used to solve large scale unconstrainedoptimization problems. However, the rate of convergence conjugate gradient method is linearunless it restarted. In this study, we present a new spectral conjugategradient modification formula with restart property obtains the globalconvergence and descent properties.In addition, we proposed a new restart condition for Fletcher-Reeves conjugate gradient formula. The numerical resultsdemonstrated that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 17, Issue 6 · 5 Jul 2021 · 6,653 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA NOVEL OPTIMIZATION MODEL FOR SIMULTANEOUS COST-RISK REDUCTION IN MULTI-SUPPLIERS JUST-IN-TIME SYSTEMSFaraj El Dabee, Romeo Marian, Yousef AmerIn today’s competitive global markets, Just-in-Time (JIT) is one of the main lean manufacturing approaches. It is used in organizations to improve performance and reduce costs and as a strategic core capability to ensure their market position. However, using JIT tightly couples various functions of the Supply Chain and increases the risk of propagating disruptions through the entire system. This … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 25 Nov 2013 · 7,610 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAnalysis and Optimization of Carbon Dioxide Emission Mitigation Options in the Cement IndustryMohammed Ba-Shammakh, Hernane Caruso, Ali Elkamel et al.The cement industry is responsible for approximately 5% of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions emitting nearly 900 kg of CO2 for every 1000 kg of cement produced. Effective control strategies to mitigate these emissions are discussed and a mathematical programming model able to suggest the best cost effective strategy is outlined. Control costs consisting of operating and investment costs along … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,387 accessesView PDF Cite
