lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating wastes (non-value added activities) through continuous improvement by conveying the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of production. in a more basic term, more value with less work. since lean manufacturing eliminates many of the problems associated with poor production scheduling and line balancing, lean ma...

With increasing threat from different countries, India has to develop a strong defensive barrier against them. The emerging technology in war ammunition makes us one of the well armed countries in the world. One of the most used weapons is missiles, which were extensively developed under the guidance of Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam, the architect of IGMDP (Integrated Missile Development Program). Whateve...

Weapon Systems Portfolio Selection (WSPS) can be considered as a multi-objective decision analysis (MODA) problem. Aiming at its challenging features because of, 1) interactions and independencies among weapon systems, 2) the uncertainty of the sample data set for assessment, and 3) the missing target value of the assessment criteria, the WSPS problem is solved form four perspectives: portfolio...

Since the Gulf war, defense missile systems against tactical ballistic missiles have been highlighted and the author also have published some studies. Recently some studies also have appeared, however, it seems that the threat of anti-surface-missiles (ASMs) to current ground sites and its countermeasures have not been sufficiently studied to date. A typical medium or long range surface-to-air ...

We propose a concept to study the stability of social and economic networks when players are farsighted and allocations are determined endogenously. A set of networks is a von Neumann-Morgenstern farsightedly stable set with bargaining if there exists an allocation rule and a bargaining threat such that (i) there is no farsighted improving path from one network inside the set to another network...

The management of Multi-sensors in information fusion system occupies an important role with the development of modern weapon platform. Therefore, scientific and rational management of limited sensors resources is essential or urgent, and improvement the capability of air defense operations is necessary. According to the management optimization problem in Multi-sensor optimal resource, we analy...
