The forward pick area of a distribution center is a cache of conveniently located products from which order pickers can quickly draw, but which must be replenished from bulk or reserve storage. The quantities stored forward determine the amount of work required to sustain the forward pick area. Two stocking strategies that are commonly used in industry are analyzed and compared with the optimal...

The nutritive compositions and oxidative stabilities of processed avocado pastes at ambient (30±1 ̊C, RH80%) and refrigerator (5-6 o C) storage temperatures were evaluated and studied. Avocado pulp was blended with ingredients, chilled, kneaded and shaped. For oxidative studies varying concentrations and combinations of Ascorbyl palmitate (AP) and Propyl gallate (PG) were blended with the pulp. ...

The effects of storage temperature and time on raw pink salmon by-products were evaluated in relation to the fishmeal produced. Chemical analyses were performed on the raw and processed by-products at two temperatures. Total volatile base nitrogen values indicated substantial spoilage by day 2 at 15.4 ± 1.4°C and day 6 at 6.0 ± 0.8°C. For most biogenic amines in raw by-products stored at 15.4°C...

Machines would be more useful if they could learn to perform tasks for which they were not given precise methods. Difficulties that attend giving a machine this ability are discussed. It i s proposed that the program of a stored-program computer be gradually improved by a learning procedure which tries many programs and chooses, from the instructions that may occupy a given location, the one mo...
