Metadata is essential for understanding information stored in data warehouses. It helps increase levels of adoption and usage of data warehouse data by knowledge workers and decision makers. A metadata model is important to the implementation of a data warehouse; the lack of a metadata model can lead to quality concerns about the data warehouse. A highly successful data warehouse implementation...

abstractin this study, a vendor-managed inventory model is developed for a single-vendor multiple-retailer single-warehouse (sv-mr-sv) supply chain problem based on the economic order quantity in which demands are stochastic and follow a uniform probability distribution. in order to reduce holding costs and to help balanced on-hand inventory cost between the vendor and the retailers, it is assu...

This paper presents the evaluation of the architecture of healthcare data warehouse specific to cancer diseases. This data warehouse containing relevant cancer medical information and patient data. The data warehouse provides the source for all current and historical health data to help executive manager and doctors to improve the decision making process for cancer patients. The evaluation mode...

In twenty-first century, automated stereoscopic warehouse has attracted many attentions of the enterprises because it has high working efficiency. The operation efficiency and management benefit of an automated stereoscopic warehouse are affected directly by the order picking efficient, it is an important symbol of service level about the automated stereoscopic warehouse. This paper from the pe...

An inventory problem for a deteriorating item having two separate warehouses is developed under time value of money, whereby one is an own warehouse (OW) of finite dimension(s) and the other is rented warehouse (RW) of infinite dimension(s). Deterioration rate of items in the two warehouses may be different, which is time dependent and deterioration is in the mean beta distribution form. In thi...

This paper presents a method of warehouse simulation model implementation using concepts of virtual reality (VR). The basic idea is to compare the "real process" controlled by operator with his/her heuristics to the "virtual process" represented by a simulation model, controlled by the optimization algorithm. The optimization algorithm is based on a SD model of the warehouse and decision suppor...

Advertisement of the product is an important factor in inventory analysis. Also, price and stock have an important role to attract more customers in the competitive business situations. Trade credit policy is another important role in inventory analysis. We have combined these three factors together in a two-warehouse inventory model and represented it mathematically. In addition, we have added...
