Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsContribution of Integrated Management Systems to University Management: Case Study of the Federal University of Rio Grande Do NorteLucas A.B.D Oliveira, Natalia V.C.D Vasconcelos, Fernanda C.B.P Queiroz et al.Problem statement: The Higher Education Institutions (IHL) have intensified process of introducing undergraduate and graduate courses to more remote regions, which expanded the scope of what these institutions and allowed the formation of population of these regions. This expansion (whether by on-campus or distance learning) presents new challenges for university management and integration of the players involved in this process. … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,795 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEstablishing an Adaptive Production-Procurement System with Markov Chain Approach Associated with 3C TheoryChun-Ta LinProblem statement: In this study, we classify the imperfect situations that the unreliability of production and the defective products might be incurred from production process into eight independently recurrent categories. Approach: With the property of recurrence of Markov chain, the limiting probability of each imperfect production category can be calculated through the transition probabilities matrix generated from these imperfect production … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,357 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUnderstanding a Father-Daughter Succession Case: Applying the 5+5+5 Bernelli ModelLeann Mischel, Cindy IannarelliProblem statement: Research on father-daughter succession in family businesses has only recently begun to get some traction. Still, examples of these situations often elude researchers. Futhermore, there has not been adequate attention paid to how children are raised in family businesses and how they learn to be entrepreneurial. Approach: This study outlines a father-daughter succession case in this unique American … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2011 · 6,799 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsModeling of Multi-Level Capacitated Lot-Size Scheduling ProblemZuhaimy Ismail, Diyana Abd Mahad, Tan Siew ChingProblem statement: Lot-size is the clustering of items for transportation or manufacturing processes occurring at the same time. The issue in lot-size problem is to design production processes so that the feasible production quantities are equal to customer demand quantities and the timing of production is such that inventory positions are almost zero. Approach: In this study, we explore the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,322 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Influence of Information Sharing on Supply Chain ManagementChiang WangProblem statement: Implementing information sharing and coordination can enhance the performance of supply chain management, such as a short response time, minimum cost, low inventory and joint production and transportation. Approach: Through information sharing among all supply chain members, stable long-term relationships can be established and maintained. Results: This study uses a quantitative cost model to identify the interaction among … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,611 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOn Calculating Activity Slack in Stochastic Project NetworksGary MitchellProblem statement: Identifying critical tasks in a project network is easily done when task times are deterministic, but doing so under stochastic task times is problematic. The few methods that have been proposed contain serious drawbacks which lead to identifying critical tasks incorrectly, leaving project managers without the means to (1) identify and rank the most probable sources of project … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,233 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Novel Method for Optimal Location and Expansion of Subtransmission Substations Considering Existing Medium-Voltage Distribution FeedersM. Farrokhifar, M. Bana Sharifian, R. EsmaeilzadehThis research presents an accurate comprehensive cost function for the problem of optimal location of subtransmission substations. Technical constraints and economical parameters are investigated in the modeling. Genetic algorithm is used to optimize the cost function. Coding of decision variables is done in a way that finding the correct solutions is achieved faster. For the first time in this study, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,793 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsVisualization of Available Power Transfer Capability in a Transmission System Using Morphological TechniquesS. U. Prabha, B. S. Dayasagar, C. VenkataseshaiahA morphological decimation technique has been proposed and implemented to analyze the available power transfer capability in a transmission power network. The method creates a graphical image of the power network with thickness of the lines proportional to their respective rated megavolt ampere (MVA) capacity. Based on ac load flow solution, another image was created to represent the power flow … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime Series Analysis for Predicting Tea Harvest Yield: A SARIMAX-Based ApproachPallavi Nagpal, Deepika Chaudhary, Jaiteg SinghPrecise prediction of tea yield is crucial for both agricultural planning and economic forecasting. Projection of the future trends, which rely on present and historical data, is the process termed 'forecasting'. Yield prediction is fundamental for research and development. By gathering the yield data over historic times, the researchers can make their work more valuable by predicting the yield patterns. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 19 Feb 2026 · 1,900 accessesView PDFCite
