This study is to develop the product distribution system for three new Distribution Centers(DCs) in Chiang Rai, Thailand according to no historical data and no experience at the new DCs.Thedeveloped system will be used to evaluate the capability of the systemsassociated a question on the increasing arrival product volumes from the southern region of China.The exponential distribution and triang...

Producing a software product with sufficient quality within estimated cost is an important issue for software projects. It is necessary that a process be designed and adapted for the project, as customer requirements and other constraints are specific to each project. Based on the measured capability of human resource, development efforts must be estimated accurately, for each defined process. ...

Article history: Received 17 November 2010 Received in revised form 3 August 2011 Accepted 6 August 2011 Available online 6 September 2011 Little research has examined how international firms' operations strategies affect dynamic capability creation or how cultural distance affects operations management. This study addresses these gaps by bridging the work on dynamic capabilities, two operation...

J. Inst. Brew. 111(1), 20–25, 2005 Proanthocyanidins have been characterized and levels compared in an ale and a lager using normal-phase liquid chromatography– mass spectroscopy (LC/MS) after a pre-concentration step employing Sephadex LH-20 chromatography. Twenty proanthocyanidins were identified including both non-galloylated and galloylated forms of the monomers, dimers and trimers. Oligome...

Reconfigurable Assembly Systems (RAS) offer the potential to enable rapid exchange of functional modules. There has however been little investigation into the planning of multiple system reconfigurations. The work proposes a capability-based approach; consisting of a Reconfiguration Methodology, supported by a Capability Model and Taxonomy. The Methodology focuses on multiple system reconfigura...

Our research activities are focused on formal specification based product and process quality improvement of a software system. We start with a formal specification based pragmatic view on software specification, software refinement, software enhancement and software testing. These features are further explored for the improvement of product and process quality. On the basis of these features w...

We present a software engineering model that integrates three important elements: software product components, software process components, and people. We focus on ways these three elements should be integrated to provide a foundation for process execution and product engineering tools that improve software engineering capability.

Quality means suitability for use and it is inversely proportional to variability of product, service, people, processes, and environment. However, it is the dynamic state that is associated with each of the above and that meets or exceeds expectations of a customer. Quality improvement is therefore the progressive reduction of variability. The gradual reduction of process and product variabili...

many countries have created systems for monitoring food products. however, these systems need paper and label and also, cannot find the origin and final destination of food product. radio frequency identification (rfid) has the capability of monitoring foods completely and track the mentioned points. this technology also can monitor many food products simultaneously. the usage of this system ca...
