  • A wireless sensor network approach for estimating individual task time

    Creator:
    Atichat, Tanawat
    Abstract:
    Most existing methods for generating individual task time estimates in production systems where jobs move through various manually operated workstations remain tedious and time consuming. For existing systems, average task times may vary considerably from prior estimates causing system inefficiencies, poor scheduling and poor planning decisions. Accurate and up-to-date estimates...

  • Efficient Algorithms for Solving the Median Problem on Real Road Networks

    Creator:
    Ghanbartehrani, Saeed
    Abstract:
    Location theory is a well-established and active research area. The main objective in location theory is to find the best locations for facilities to meet supply and demand constraints and minimize total cost. The median problem (also known as the 1-median problem) is a special case in location analysis that...

  • Impact of RFID Technology on Replenishment Decisions for Multi-Echelon Supply Chains

    Creator:
    Cavazos Sanchez, Myrna Leticia
    Abstract:
    Radio frequency identification (RFID) has long been regarded as an automated data collection technology that promises solutions to inefficiencies found in supply chains such as “just-in-case” inventory stock, inventory obsolescence, stockouts, and theft. However, the disappointingly slow return on RFID investment has forced companies to examine and redefine RFID initiatives....

  • Modeling and optimization of radio frequency identification networks for inventory management

    Creator:
    Suriya, Atipong
    Abstract:
    Stock loss and out-of-stocks are outcomes of poorly designed inventory management systems and can lead to significant revenue losses. Inventory management systems (IMS) based on radio frequency identification (RFID) have the potential to minimize these losses if they are properly designed and deployed. However, the placement of RFID readers to...
