Manufacturing a longer chain logically requires manufacturing more than one link; thus is logically manufactured a longer metrological traceability chain…

Aging: Fruit Flies Break the Chain to a Longer Life

Mitochondria have long had an enigmatic role in the biology of aging. New research in Drosophila reveals an evolutionarily conserved function for the mitochondrial electron transport chain in the modulation of animal lifespan.

Cluster Manufacturing: A Supply Chain Perspective

Supply chain management clusters are geographic concentrations of three or more companies directly involved in the upstream and downstream flows of products, services, finances and/or information from a source to a customer. Clusters extend downstream to channels and customers, as well as laterally to manufacturers of complementary products. They also extend to companies in industries related b...

A Novel Continuous KNN Prediction Algorithm to Improve Manufacturing Policies in a VMI Supply Chain

This paper examines and compares various manufacturing policies which manufacturer may adopt so as to improve the performance of a vendor managed inventory (VMI) partnership. The goal is to maximize the combined cumulative profit of supply chain while minimizing relevant inventory management costs. The supply chain is a two-level system with a single manufacturer and single retailer at each lev...

Agent Based Simulation of Sale and Manufacturing Agents Acting Across a Pharmaceutical Supply Chain

Agent based modeling and simulation consider the behavior of agents acting in a system. The agents' interactions result in changing the agent’s behavior, the whole agent based system, and its environment. In this study, the manufacturing, sale, and receiving orders behaviors pertinent to manufacturing and sale agents acting across a pharmaceutical supply chain of an Iranian manufacturing medici...
