Asynchronous Transfer Mode is becoming a widespread technology for both local and wide area networks. We describe our ATM-connected computing and storage resources at Adelaide and Canberra. We report on measurements of the performance of our system and discuss the implications for wide area distributed, highperformance computing (DHPC) applications. In particular we discuss e ects of bandwidth ...

With ever increasing environmental concerns and global warming, green manufacturing has gained momentum to make the processes sustainable efficient. This review aims analyse models integrate three different management systems that are green, six sigma lean for sustainability of various processes. Research gaps such integration identified through a literature studies. The importance concepts eco...

Lean production has become an integral part of the manufacturing landscape as its link with superior performance and its ability to provide competitive advantage is well accepted among academics and practitioners. Lean production helps producers in overcoming the challenges organizations face through using powerful tools and enablers. However, most companies are faced with restricted resources ...

The paper presents the tools for improving efficiency, from its historical beginnings to modern business intelligence systems, furthermore includes good practices and case studies that illustrate both potential benefits of lean methodology. We review main characteristics methodology most basic components can be applied by an organizational culture improve processes. As show, these methodologies...

lean cell operates itself by what is called standard operations. job rotation is known as the standard operation of a lean cell. however, researchers have not studied job rotation to demonstrate the performance of a lean cell. job rotation decisions affect lean cell performance through influencing the manner in which tasks assigned to the selected operators during several rotation periods. this...

were experiencing difficulty meeting OR turnover goals. Extended turnovers increased patient and physician wait times and disrupted flow in the OR suite. The team averaged 20 minutes to complete room turnovers, and in some observed cases, they required 25 minutes. Absent personnel, missing supplies , delayed delivery of the patient to the OR, and undefined responsibilities were just a few of th...

In order to meet the ambitious emission-reduction targets of Paris Agreement, energy efficient transition building sector requires retrofit methodologies as a critical part greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions mitigation plan, since in 2050 high proportion current global stock will still be use. This paper reviews with focus on contrast between data-driven approaches that utilize measured data, acqui...
