The uses of tracking in operations management: Synthesis of a research program
نویسندگان
چکیده
The significance of tracking in operations management has been overshadowed, theoretically by the concept of supply chain visibility, and practically by the attention grabbing radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. This paper describes how uses of tracking for operations management, specifically, to improve the management of project and service supply chains, were explored and developed in a ten-year research program. Key results of the program are synthesized and linked to the relevant academic discourse in operations management using design science methodology. & 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Analysis and Synthesis of Facial Expressions by Feature-Points Tracking and Deformable Model
Face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. In this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. The analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (FFP) in frontal image sequences. Selected facial feature poi...
متن کاملVulnerability Assessment of Historical Land uses in Khansar Region and Their Prioritization in Rescue Operations with a Disaster Management Approach
Background and Objective. In recent decades, vulnerability assessment in urban land uses such as historic building in order to increase their resilience and resistance to various human and natural hazards has received more attention. Due to the special geographic condition and special topography of the region, Khansar historical land uses are exposed to all kind of disaster and damages and a co...
متن کاملA New Modified Particle Filter With Application in Target Tracking
The particle filter (PF) is a novel technique that has sufficiently good estimation results for the nonlinear/non-Gaussian systems. However, PF is inconsistent that caused mainly by loss of particle diversity in resampling step and unknown a priori knowledge of the noise statistics. This paper introduces a new modified particle filter called adaptive unscented particle filter (AUPF) to overcome th...
متن کاملA model for tracking temperature variation in cold and hot metal working conditions during machining operations
This paper presents a mathematical model that could assist in measuring, monitoring and controlling tem-perature variation in cold and ‘red-hot’ metal working conditions of machining. A numerical analysis tech-nique of the temperature distribution, based on the theory of complex applied potential, was carried out using the principles of relationship analysis between the paths of heat supply in ...
متن کاملAutomatic Generation of a Multi Agent System for Crisis Management by a Model Driven Approach
Considering the increasing occurrences of unexpected events and the need for pre-crisis planning in order to reduce risks and losses, modeling instant response environments is needed more than ever. Modeling may lead to more careful planning for crisis-response operations, such as team formation, task assignment, and doing the task by teams. A common challenge in this way is that the model shou...
