چکیده
In February 2002, the Institute of Transport Studies (ITS), The University of Sydney, initiated a study to investigate world class logistics (WCL) practices in Australia. This research is part of the wider WCL study investigating the state of quality practices in logistics in Australian companies. The study examines the extent to which quality management practices are adopted, impediments to implementation of quality improvement processes, quality management tools (simple) employed, methods used to measure customer expectations, and the extent of satisfaction with quality programs. In addition, the study compares the extent of quality practices between manufacturing and retail organizations, and logistics firms. The results show that manufacturing/service organizations are ahead of logistics firms in the application of quality management practices in the logistics functions.

Freight transport development forecasts in enterprises management
In this study, an investigation of long-term forecasts relating to the development of the transport sector in Poland is performed, including the ones by 2030 and 2050. Selected transport development forecasts from the perspective of the membership of Poland in the European Union are presented and most of all, from the perspective of national studies. The basement for the review was the prognosi...
متن کاملTRANSPORT EQUATION WITH FUZZY DATA
In this paper, we use the generalized differentiability concept tostudy the fuzzy transport equation. We consider transport equationin the homogeneous and non-homogeneous cases with fuzzy initialcondition. We also present the solution when speed parameter is a fuzzynumber. Our method is based on the construction of the solutionsby employing Zadeh's extension principle.
متن کاملA review of Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility analysis of Indian dykes: Implications on magma emplacement
The analysis of Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) is a powerful and rapid technique to examine the preferred orientations of mineral (magnetic) fabrics and can indicate the nature of a magma transport (vertical or lateral). The relationship between magnetic fabric and geometry of a dyke swarm enables us to understand magma emplacement processes. Depending on the mutual relationship of...
متن کاملA molecular dynamics simulation of water transport through C and SiC nanotubes: Application for desalination
In this work the conduction of ion-water solution through two discrete bundles of armchair carbon and silicon carbide nanotubes, as useful membranes for water desalination, is studied. In order that studies on different types of nanotubes be comparable, the chiral vectors of C and Si-C nanotubes are selected as (7,7) and (5,5), respectively, so that a similar volume of fluid is investigated ...

متن کاملCalibration method of numerical models in coastal sediment studies of Kuhmobarak area
Abstract Application of numerical models is useful in coastal sediment studies; however, it is essential to calibrate the models in an appropriate method. Empirical equations, historical satellite imagery and other coastal data and evidence are proposed for the models calibration in the vicinity of coastal indicators around the site of projects. In this study, coastal sediment process of K...
