Big Data Analytics (BDA), being an emerging technology, is used in many echelons of business and management. Extant research lack focus on the factors that impact the organizational adoption of this technology. Organizations need to assimilate it in a full-scale and deep level to fully realize its benefits and therefore worthy of study. Present paper, drawing upon Technology-Organization-Enviro...

The coordination of two-echelons supply chain by buyback contract under the imperfect product quality and fuzzy demand environment is investigated in this paper. The mathematical models are built based on credibility theory, and the optimal parameters of buyback contract are obtained. In addition, the influence of the imperfect product rate on the parameters of buyback contract is analyzed. Fin...

Abstract We present a multi-ob’jective two-echelon vehicle routing problem with synchronization and ‘grey zone’ customers arising in the context of urban freight deliveries. Inner-city center deliveries are performed by small vehicles due to access restrictions, while outside this area carried out conventional for economic reasons. Goods transferred from first second echelon synchronized meetin...

record of the course of molecular dynamics in a single measurement would be invaluable. In this context, the article by Poulin and Nelson represents a valuable advance. The authors show how one can obtain— in a single shot—time-sequenced transient absorption spectra of irreversible chemical reactions that are initiated with a laser in a solid sample. To do so they use echelons, which are window...

This paper focuses on the potential applications of regenerative medicine to include cell and biomaterialbased therapies for treating combat casualties at early echelons. The intent is to explore and evaluate the potential improvements, such as faster healing and/or greater functional outcome, that can be gained from applications of these medical technologies at the early echelons to include Le...

In this paper we study two echelon multi-server tandom queueing systems where customers arrive according to a poisson process with two different rates. The service rates at both echelons are independent of each other. The service times of customers is assumed to be completed in two stages. The service times at each stage are exponentially distributed. At the first stage, the customers may balk ...
