as a first step towards mechanization related to any product, including date fruit, it is necessary to have comprehensive information about the product. physical and mechanical properties are needed for the design of post harvest machinery and equipment. the objective of this study was to determine and compare some physical properties such as dimension, mass and volume, particulate density, pit...

The aim of the present paper is to introduce a feature-based ProductProcess-System model and ontology in order to retrieve and share knowledge for simulation of manufacturing systems. Product knowledge is the combination of product specific information, such as functionality, colour and product variants, and the corresponding product model. The model provides understanding of the product struct...

This paper presents a multi objective geometric programming model which determines the product`s selling price in two markets. We assume demand is a function of price and marketing expenditure in two markets. The cost of production is also assumed to be a function of demands in both markets. Our model is a posynomial function which is solved using Geometric Programming (GP). In our GP implement...
