Nowadays energy saving is one of the crucial aspects in decisions. One of the approaches in this case is efficient use of resources in the industrial systems. Studies in real manufacturing systems indicating that one or more machines may also act as the Bottleneck Resource/ Resources (BR). On the other hand according to the Theory of Constraints (TOC), the efficient use of resources in manufact...

Entering a new product market requires assembling bundle of resources. Because missing single resource can foil the entire entry effort, we argue that bottleneck resources—those most difficult to obtain or sell externally—anchor direction firm growth. We characterize resources as bottlenecks entry, because they are (on average) more challenging and than technological resources, articulate why i...

The performance of multi-tier systems is known to be significantly degraded by workloads that place bursty service demands on system resources. Burstiness can cause queueing delays, oversubscribe limited threading resources, and even cause dynamic bottleneck switches between resources. Thus, there is need for a methodology to create benchmarks with controlled burstiness and bottleneck switches ...

Research suggests that dual-task interference is caused by a central bottleneck (together with response grouping and impaired preparation). The emphasis placed on the 1st response in these experiments, however, may have discouraged the sharing of processing resources between tasks. In the present experiment, instructions placed equal emphasis on 2 choice reaction-time tasks in which stimuli wer...

The theory of constraints is an approach to production planning and control that emphasizes on the constraints to increase throughput by effectively managing constraint resources. One application in theory of constraints is product mix decision. Product mix influences the performance measures in multi-product manufacturing system. This paper presents an alternative approach by using of goal pro...

We study bottleneck congestion games where the social cost is determined by the worst congestion of any resource. These games directly relate to network routing problems and also job-shop scheduling problems. In typical bottleneck congestion games, the utility costs of the players are determined by the worst congested resources that they use. However, the resulting Nash equilibria are inefficie...

M by the trend toward more collaboration in work flows, we study networks where some activities require the simultaneous processing by multiple types of multitasking human resources. Collaboration imposes constraints on the capacity of the process because multitasking resources have to be simultaneously at the right place. We introduce the notions of collaboration architecture and unavoidable b...

This paper deals with the service performance analysis and improvement using discrete event simulation has been used. The simulation of the health care has been done by arena master development 14-version software. The performance measurement for this study are patients output, service rate, service efficiency and it is directly related to waiting time of patients in each service station, work ...

Given a controversial issue, argument mining from natural language texts (news papers, and any form of text on the Internet) is extremely challenging: domain knowledge is often required together with appropriate forms of inferences to identify arguments. This contribution explores the types of knowledge that are required and how they can be paired with reasoning schemes, language processing and...
