according to gas development in most provinces in recent years and the expansion of gas transfer pipeline in parallel, paying attention to project supply chains and related risks is necessary more than past. due to specific structure of project supply chain based on government regulations, this article is aimed at presenting a model to mitigate risks on projects supply chain in state gas compan...

Researchers must understand how agile and resilient practices work together as ‘resilient agility’ in impacting performance seek empirical support. In this research, a conceptual model of is proposed using three constructs operational practices—‘agile-only’, ‘resilient-only’, ‘shared’ –and four performance: ‘cost’, ‘delivery’, ‘flexibility’, ‘time to recovery’. The practice bundles are then lin...

The main aim of this study is to identify the most important natural gas pipeline failure causes and interrelation analysis. In research, rough analytic hierarchy process (Rough-AHP) used rank order. Then a combination decision-making trial evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) interpretive structural modeling (ISM) method applied generate level importance. comparison traditional DEMATEL Rough-DEMATE...

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of applying an interpretive structural modeling (ISM) method for case hosts to develop verity design solution of case host preference-based products. In the early design concept stage of the product development, designers often need to create many ideas as the case of products for the main idea of what case the host wants. Hence, a conversion...

Researchers stated that learning and applying certain set of lexical bundles of native lecturers by non-native lecturers would help students improve their proficiency through incidental vocabulary input. The present study shed light on the lexical bundles in hard science lectures used by Native and Non-native lecturers in international universities with the main purpose of analyzing the structu...
