Energy-Aware Models for Warehousing Operations

Benchmarking Warehousing and Distribution Operations

Benchmarking warehousing and distribution operations is an appropriate and popular first step in re-engineering warehousing operations. Within the warehousing and distribution industry benchmarking has traditionally been focused on comparing quantitative performance measures, such as operating cost — typically measured as warehousing and/or distribution cost as percent of sales; operating produ...

Building an Effective Data Warehousing for Financial Sector

This article presents the implementation process of a Data Warehouse and a multidimensional analysis of business data for a holding company in the financial sector. The goal is to create a business intelligence system that, in a simple, quick but also versatile way, allows the access to updated, aggregated, real and/or projected information, regarding bank account balances. The established syst...

Large-scale Internet benchmarking: Technology and application in warehousing operations

Effective benchmarking requires standards for measuring performance across a broad range of organizations. Industry benchmarking measures the relative performance levels of similar operations, but gathering sufficient data to robustly characterize best performance is the primary hurdle to more widespread implementation. This paper describes the development of an innovative, large-scale benchmar...

Isogeometric analysis with Powell-Sabin splines

This paper presents the use of Powell-Sabin splines in the context of isogeometric analysis for the numerical solution of advectiondiffusion-reaction equations. Powell-Sabin splines are piecewise quadratic C functions defined on a given triangulation with a particular macro-structure. We discuss the Galerkin discretization based on a normalized Powell-Sabin B-spline basis. We focus on the accur...
