A field test was conducted whereby adult Tribolium confusum (du Val), the confused flour beetle, were exposed in Petri dishes lined with filter paper and containing 0–2000mg of flour, to a pyrethrin–CO2 aerosol inside an empty warehouse. Applications were made according to label directions, and beetles were exposed to the aerosol for 2 h. After exposure, knockdown was assessed, and beetles were...

In this paper we shall discuss with the optimal ordering policy for two warehouse inventory model of non-instantaneous deteriorating items and stock-dependent demand. Here shortage is not allowed. Here the holding and deteriorating costs in both warehouses are different and assumed that the holding cost in the RW(rented warehouse) than in the OW(owned warehouse) the optimal solution are shown. ...

Typical Intelligent Decision Support System is 4-based, its design composes of Data Warehouse, Online Analytical Processing, Data Mining and Decision Supporting based on models, which is called Decision Support System Based on Data Warehouse (DSSBDW).

In this paper we propose an approach to business process measurement and control. The process measurement is accomplished by a data warehouse. We propose a method for development of a conceptual model of a data warehouse based on GQ(I)M method to define business goals.

We study a two-echelon supply chain with one warehouse and N (nonidentical) retailers facing stochastic demand. An easy-to-implement inventory policy, the so-called power-of-two (POT) policy, is proposed to manage inventory for the system. To maintain a certain service level, safety stocks are kept at the warehouse and each retailer outlet to buffer random demand. Our analysis highlights the im...
