The Crisis of Distribution and the Regulation of Economic Law (Paperback, 1): Shouwen Zhang The Crisis of Distribution and the Regulation of Economic Law (Paperback, 1)
Shouwen Zhang; Contributions by Zhao Xin
R2,788 Discovery Miles 27 880 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The crisis of distribution is one of the longest standing and complicated issues facing human society. Imbued with social, political, historic, and cultural elements, it varies significantly across different countries as a result of all these factors. As an emerging economy which transferred from a planned to a market economy, China has experienced large distribution gaps since it implemented the Reform and Opening-up Policy in the early 1980s, requiring stronger economic law to mitigate and regulate the crisis of distribution. The two volumes examine the crisis of distribution that China faces and proposes policy and economic law methods that can be used to overcome the distribution dilemma. The author discusses the four main concepts and focus points of the crisis of distribution - distribution itself, the crises it faces, the rule of law and development before proposing a theoretical framework of "system-distribution-development" to resolve distribution problems that China faces. The book should be of keen interest to researchers and students of law, economics, and political science.

Perishable Inventory Systems (Hardcover, 2011 ed.): Steven Nahmias Perishable Inventory Systems (Hardcover, 2011 ed.)
Steven Nahmias
R2,846 Discovery Miles 28 460 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

A perishable item is one that has constant utility up until an expiration date (which may be known or uncertain), at which point the utility drops to zero. This includes many types of packaged foods such as milk, cheese, processed meats, and canned goods. It also includes virtually all pharmaceuticals and photographic film, as well as whole blood supplies. This book is the first devoted solely to perishable inventory systems.
The book's ten chapters first cover the preliminaries of periodic review versus continuous review and look at a one-period newsvendor perishable inventory model. The author moves to the basic multiperiod dynamic model, and then considers the extensions of random lifetime, inclusion of a set-up cost, and multiproduct models of perishables. A chapter on continuous review models looks at one-for-one policies, models with zero lead time, optimal policies with positive lead time, and an alternative approach.
Additional chapters present material on approximate order policies, inventory depletion management, and deterministic models, including the basic EOQ model with perishability and the dynamic deterministic model with perishability. Finally, chapters explore decaying inventories, queues with impatient customers, and blood bank inventory control.
Anyone researching perishable inventory systems will find much to work with here. Practitioners and consultants will also now have a single well-referenced source of up-to-date information to work with."

Evaluation Method of Energy Consumption in Logistic Warehouse Systems (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2015): Pawel Zajac Evaluation Method of Energy Consumption in Logistic Warehouse Systems (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2015)
Pawel Zajac
R3,471 Discovery Miles 34 710 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book focuses on guidelines for reducing the energy consumption in warehousing processes. It presents a model of formal assessment for energy consumption in the context of storage-system logistics, as well as a computational model consisting of three sub-models: energy consumption models for forklifts and stacker cranes, respectively, and an energy intensity model for roller conveyors. The concept model is based on the assumption that the unit load is received at a zero-energy warehouse. Subsequent handling, transport and storage processes, in which the unit load is moved vertically and horizontally through the system, equate to changes in energy intensity within the logistics warehouse management system. Energy recovery based on the handling equipment used can be collected in batteries. The evaluation method takes into account the intensity of the energy supplied to the logistics system and reduces the storage of the recovered energy - this figure represents the energy needed to pass through the logistics unit load storage system, and can be expressed in an energy intensity map.

These proceedings contain research presented at the 6th International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics, held in February 2018.The integration of dynamics within the modeling, planning and control of logistic processes and networks has shown to contribute massively to the improvement of the latter. Moreover, diversification of markets and demand has increased both the complexity and the dynamic changes of problems within the area of logistics. To cope with these challenges, it must become possible to identify, describe and analyze such process changes. Moreover, logistic processes and networks must be revised to be rapidly and flexibly adaptable to continuously changing conditions. This book presents new ideas to solve such problems, offering technological, algorithmic and conceptual improvements. It primarily addresses researchers and practitioners in the field of industrial engineering and logistics.

Decision Criteria and Optimal Inventory Processes provides a theoretical and practical introduction to decision criteria and inventory processes. Inventory theory is presented by focusing on the analysis and processes underlying decision criteria. Included are many state-of-the-art criterion models as background material. These models are extended to the authors' newly developed fuzzy criterion models which constitute a general framework for the study of stochastic inventory models with special focus on the real world inventory theoretic reservoir operations problems. The applications of fuzzy criterion dynamic programming models are illustrated by reservoir operations including the integrated network of reservoir operation and the open inventory network problems. An interesting feature of this book is the special attention it pays to the analysis of some theoretical and applied aspects of fuzzy criteria and dynamic fuzzy criterion models, thus opening up a new way of injecting the much-needed type of non-cost, intuitive, and easy-to-use methods into multi-stage inventory processes. This is accomplished by constructing and optimizing the fuzzy criterion models developed for inventory processes. Practitioners in operations research, management science, and engineering will find numerous new ideas and strategies for modeling real world multi- stage inventory problems, and researchers and applied mathematicians will find this work a stimulating and useful reference.

With the pressure of time-based competition increasing, and customers demanding faster service, the availability of service parts becomes a critical component of manufacturing and servicing operations. Potentially, the aftermarket service industry may account for 25% of a manufacturer s annual revenue. On the other hand, keeping too many of such spare parts increases operational costs and eats up the bottom line. The challenge is the erratic demand patterns of service parts. Demand commonly is intermittent with some time periods having no demand at all. Forecasting for intermittent demand itself has long been recognized, in the academic literature, as a very difficult business task. It is not only the variability of the demand size but also the variability of the demand pattern that makes intermittent demand so difficult to forecast. Hence management of service parts is a significant organizational problem. Therefore, small improvements in a company s system, regarding service parts, may be translated to substantial cost savings.

Service Parts Management provides an overview and detailed treatment of the current state of the research available on the forecasting and inventory management of items with intermittent demand. The book is divided into two parts, one for demand forecasting and one for inventory control. Demand forecasting techniques are presented for parametric and nonparametric approaches. Error measures, distributional assumptions, and the effects of correlation are all examined in the forecasting context while inventory control is examined in the continuous and periodic review cases. Multi echelon cases and inventory pooling are also considered.

An excellent reference for key concepts and a leading resource for further research, Service Parts Management guides researchers and practitioners in finding better management solutions to their problems."

R7,747 Discovery Miles 77 470 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Most books on inventory theory use the item approach to determine stock levels, ignoring the impact of unit cost, echelon location, and hardware indenture. Optimal Inventory Modeling of Systems is the first book to take the system approach to inventory modeling. The result has been dramatic reductions in the resources to operate many systems - fleets of aircraft, ships, telecommunications networks, electric utilities, and the space station.

Although only four chapters and appendices are totally new in this edition, extensive revisions have been made in all chapters, adding numerous worked-out examples. Many new applications have been added including commercial airlines, experience gained during Desert Storm, and adoption of the Windows interface as a standard for personal computer models.
