A simple rainfall-runoff model (Vardavas, I.M., 1988. A simple water balance daily rainfall-runoff model with application to the tropical Magela Creek catchment. Ecol. Model 42, 245–264) developed and applied to the tropical wet–dry Magela catchment in the Northern Territory of Australia has been modified and applied to the Mediterranean wet–dry Messara Valley catchment of Crete. The Messara Va...

The process capability analysis is a crucial activity to evaluate if the process outcome meets the design specifications. Classically, such analysis is performed by verifying the in-control condition of the process and evaluating suitable capability indices, by assuming the process in-control steady-state condition. However, the in-control period of the process characterizes only a part of the ...

Demand variability increases as one moves up a supply chain. The demand for finished products is less variable than for subassemblies, which is less variable than for individual components. This phenomenon is known as the bullwhip or Forrester effect. It increases inventory unnecessarily and makes managing the capacity of equipment and personnel difficult. In 1999, Philips Semiconductors confir...
