This paper examines the beneficial impact of information sharing in multi-echelon supply chains. We compare a traditional supply chain, in which only the first stage in the chain observes end consumer demand and upstream stages have to base their forecasts on incoming orders, with an information enriched supply chain where customer demand data (e.g. EPOS data) is shared throughout the chain. Tw...

With the increasing importance of computer-based communication technologies, communication networks are becoming crucial in supply chain management. Given the objectives of the supply chain, supply chain management is situated at the intersection of different professional sectors, each of them with its own vocabulary, its own knowledge and rules. This paper provides a review of the main approac...

MOTIVATION The accurate placement of side chains in computational protein modeling and design involves the searching of vast numbers of rotamer combinations. RESULTS We have applied the information contained within structurally aligned homologous families, in the form of conserved chi angle conservation rules, to the problem of the comparative modeling. This allows the accurate borrowing of e...

The infinite fuzzy logic controller, based on Bayesian learning rules, is used for the simulation of a discrete countable controlled Markov chain , with adaptive techniques .

With the aid of the Born cyclic postulate, the selection rules for the vibrational modes of a crystalline polymer and an oriented infinite chain-molecule have been discussed. The necessary conditions for the modes to be active in the infrared or Raman spectrum have been deduced from the translation group of the crystal or of the chain. Approximate methods have also been discussed for a finite c...

Because of lack of abstraction at the stage of requirement analysis, the traditional Supply Chain Management systems are not suitable to dynamic reengineering when business needs change. This paper will combine Workflow Technologies with Supply Chain Management systems (WSCM). By decomposing work into the corresponding tasks and roles and monitoring the sequence of work activities according to ...

In recent years, business rule management has become an important component of enterprise information systems. Business rules represent guidelines about how an enterprise should conduct its business and provide better service for customers. Business rules are being widely deployed in supply chains to support real-time decision making. The research reported in this paper is aimed at designing a ...

Football is a sport in which two teams play offense and defense against each other on the same rectangular court according to certain rules. As key project China’s professional commercial development, football supply chain has its own mode of operation. In order compare study operation European China, this paper, we conduct China through principal component analysis establish model suitable for...
