one of the main challenges for manufacturers in production systems on order is balancing between orders, inputs and limited resources. hence, they have to choose some orders and reject the others. in addition, work schedule must be considered in order acceptance. in this research the integrated problem of scheduling and order acceptance in a no wait flexible flow line production system is discu...

The problem of Order Acceptance and Scheduling (OAS) is defined as a joint decision of which orders to accept for processing and how to schedule them. Any linear programming model representing real-world situation involves the parameters defined by the decision maker in an uncertain way or by means of language statement. Fuzzy data can be used to incorporate vagueness in the real-life situation...

In this paper a new neuro-genetic architecture is presented that solves a profit oriented dynamic job shop problem. In the job shop order acceptance and scheduling problem new jobs arrive continuously and because of insufficient job shop capacity, a selection has to be made among the offered jobs. The goal is to find an order acceptance policy, which is supported by a scheduling policy, that ma...

conclusion pacs is highly accepted in all three emergency departments especially among specialists. pu, peu and change are factors influencing pacs acceptance. our study can be used as an evidence of pacs acceptance in emergency wards. results mean age of participants was 32.9 years (standard deviation [sd] = 6.08). participants with the specialty degree got a higher acceptance score than the t...

Order acceptance and scheduling decisions arise when the limited production capacity entails a manufacturer to select among incoming orders. In this paper, we consider an order acceptance and scheduling problem in a single machine environment where the orders are processed without preemption and a sequence dependent setup time is incurred between processing of every consecutive order. The probl...

This study explores factors relating to physicians acceptance of technology for computerized physician order entry (CPOE. Given the complexity of the healthcare industry and its unique occupational dynamics, the Davis’ Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) alone may not be an appropriate methodology for explaining technology acceptance as it applies to medical practitioners. Along with perceived ea...

Since the turn of the millennium, voters in the industrialized countries are increasingly expressing their dissatisfaction. Based on the theoretical concepts of justice by Hayek (1976), Rawls (1972, 2001) and Brennan and Buchanan (2000 [1985]) we argue that the growing dissatisfaction is rooted in the asymmetric pattern in monetary policies since the 1980s for two reasons. First, the structural...

Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) holds potential of reducing medical errors, improving care quality, and cutting healthcare costs. Yet, its success largely depends on physicians’ acceptance and subsequent usage. This study examines whether Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) can be applied to explain physician acceptance of CPOE. A survey was conducted in a large general hospital in Chin...
