In this paper we use 4 different time series models to forecast sales in a goods management system. We use a variety of forecast combining techniques and measure the forecast quality by applying symmetric and asymmetric forecast quality measures. Simple, rank-, and criteria-based combining methods lead to an improvement of the individual time series models.

In according to quantity of various consumption materials in construction sites of complex projects such as oil industry, infrastructure, and large scale commercial, management and monitoring of materials can affect on the final time and cost of project’s activities. In today’s world of rising labor costs and labor shortages, automated materials tracking can provide some advantage to impr...

technology development projects, unlike many other kinds of projects don’t have pre-defined goals or clear implementation methods at the beginning of the project. among other uncertainties that any project could have, technology development projects have a high degree of uncertainty in the definition of project. for this reason, conventional project management methods such as those provided in ...

the paper discusses the current state of research concerning railway network timetabling and traffic management. timetable effectiveness is governed by frequency, regularity, accurate running, recovery and layover times, as well as minimal headway, buffer times and waiting times. analytic (queuing) models and stochastic microsimulation are predominantly used for estimation of waiting times and ...

skills of more useful and effective use of time is the key to management and organizations success.organization managers for obtimal use of time and prevention to time consumption, for development of time management, should know how to operate and use the time and exigency of using diamond model. checking and explication of the way of using manager’s time and recognizing of consumption factors,...

Adaptive parallel computations—computations that can adapt to changes in resource availability and requirement— can effectively use networked machines because they dynamically expand as machines become available and dynamically acquire machines as needed. While most parallel programming systems provide the means to develop adaptive programs, they do not provide any functional interface to exter...

Natural areas have been reserved for thousands of years. However, the reasons for reservation have changed with time. Natural areas management objectives have changed from personal/individual human needs to environmental protection. Unlike old protected areas, new protected areas have multiple management objectives. The management objectives changed from protection for now to protection for the...
