Although the importance of locating in manufacturing and service companies is not a new issue, one of significance applications is to determine the appropriate location for warehouses in manufacturing workshops warehouses to the maintenance of materials or products. In any organizations, Finding the suitable site for warehouses establishments to increase customer service and efficiency is one o...

in this paper, a facility location problem of distribution systems, as one of the important and strategic issues in supply chain management, has been studied in a three-level supply chain under a stochastic condition. for this purpose, a two-stage mathematic model has been proposed for the location-allocation problem of distribution systems with regard to backup facilities for disrupting wareho...

This paper describes a dynamic locating system implemented in an autonomous wearable computing system for the automobile warehouse management application. Since the first prototype is developed as jacket [1], this prototype is miniaturized and therefore realized as holster which consists of several modules for identification, communication and localization. It is worn by employees during wareho...

View Materialization is an effective method to increase query efficiency in a data warehouse. However, one encounters the problem of space insufficiency if all possible views are materialized in advance. Reducing query time by means of selecting a proper set of materialized views with a lower cost is crucial for efficient data warehousing. In addition, the costs of data warehouse creation, quer...

Gartner defines a warehouse management system (WMS) as "a software application that helps manage the operations of a warehouse or distribution center (DC)." WMS applications offer capabilities such as receiving, put­away, stock locating, inventory management, cycle counting, task interleaving, wave planning, order allocation, order picking, replenishment, packing, shipping, labor management and...

Disaster management is one of the most important actions to protect property and lives victims. Failure pay attention logistical decisions disaster can have irreversible consequences. Therefore, a multiechelon mathematical model for blood supply chain in situations proposed this research. The includes supplier, central warehouse, reliable distributor, unreliable affected areas. How performs exp...

multi-echelon inventory systems are one of the most important and attractive areas in modelling supply chain management so that several researches and studies have been done about. in this paper, the total cost function of a two-echelon inventory system with central warehouse and many identical retailers controlled by continuous review inventory policy is estimated. we have assumed the demand i...

Many studies focus on inventory systems to analyze different real-world situations. This paper considers a two-echelon supply chain that includes one warehouse and one retailer with stochastic demand and an up-to-level policy. The retailer’s lead time includes the transportation time from the warehouse to the retailer that is unknown to the retailer. On the other hand, the warehouse is unaware ...
