Modeling mix flexibility for FMS design.

Accommodating FMS Operational Contingencies through Routing Flexibility

Overwhelmed by the complexity of the FMS Deadlock Avoidance problem, current research has, for the most part, ignored the aspects (and beneets) related to exible (dynamic) job routing. Extending current structural control policies, based on static job routing, to accommodate routing exibility is nontrivial, primarily due to the fact that the possible routing options for a single job can grow ex...

Mix Design Selection For Old and New Generation of SuprePlasticizers

Determination the optimal mix design plays an important role in order to gain the maximum characteristic strength. This research was conducted as a case study for Manjil tunnel project located in Qazvin-Rasht highway. For this purpose, 18 concrete mix designs were prepared at the study phase of the project with specifications such as conventional water-to-cement ratios of 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6, the ...

Framework for Product-Mix and Changeover Manufacturing Flexibility

Facing new challenges and more uncertainty, manufacturers see the need for flexible solutions and the need to strive to achieve flexibility. However, flexibility is still not well understood and no unambiguous understanding of flexibility exists. The paper first summarizes the state of the field of flexibility, exploring different definitions and understandings of the flexibility concept from t...

Modeling Marketing Mix

The marketing mix refers to variables that a marketing manager can control to influence a brand’s sales or market share. Traditionally, these variables are summarized as the four Ps of marketing: product, price, promotion, and place (i.e., distribution; McCarthy, 1996). Product refers to aspects such as the firm’s portfolio of products, the newness of those products, their differentiation from ...
