Managing perishable food in a retail store is quite difficult because of the product’s short lifetime and deterioration. Many elements, such as price, shelf space allocation, and quality, which can affect the consumption rate, should be taken into account when the perishable food retail chain is designed. The modern tracking technologies provide good opportunities to improve the management of t...

This vehicle routing problem involves finding a set of trips, one for each vehicle and to pick up known quantities of perishable goods from a set of geographically dispersed suppliers to the cargo terminal of an international airport in south India. The pickup time is based on the deterministic departure time of the flights. The objective of this Vehicle routing problem with Pickup and Delivery...

Besides, internal external factors such as calendar events weather condition contribute excess wastage different regions supermarket. It is a challenging job know about the manually supermarkets region-wise. Therefore, management needs take appropriate dec...

Selection and transport of materials for tools is ubiquitous throughout our species’ evolutionary history. Yet understanding early human material culture heavily skewed toward lithic technology. This poses challenges when reconstructing technical origins, as organic raw materials, especially plants, likely played a significant role despite their absence from the record until 300 kya. Studies pl...

The authors present a study on the reduction of electric energy consumption in process preserving agri-food products. Refrigeration facilities used to cool various easily perishable products were examined order establish solutions for increasing efficiency storage process. proposed solution provides combination refrigeration installation with step cooling, infl ow cooler fan installed outside e...

We address the problem of determining optimal ordering and pricing policies in a finite-horizon newsvendor model with unobservable lost sales. The demand distribution is price-dependent and involves unknown parameters. We consider both the cases of perishable and non-perishable inventory. A very general class of demand functions is studied in this paper. We derive the optimal ordering and prici...

Following abstraction and treatment water becomes a vulnerable and perishable product. It is vulnerable in that the integrity of systems used for the storage and distribution of water can be damaged and contamination through ingress can occur. It is perishable in that its microbial quality can deteriorate due to the bacteria remaining after treatment growing on the residual nutrient in the wate...
