this paper explores the empirical evidence of the nature of intra-metropolitan supply linkages and industrial clustering and searches for the driving forces that enhances the learning processes and innovation capacities hence; contributing to competitive advantage within the tehran metropolitan. the research points to accelerating growth in the automotive sector since the late 1980s and early 1...

in developing countries such as iran it was after economic crises and the increase in price of energy carriers and primary resources that industrial ecology was taken into consideration as a method in industrial states. 941 industrial states in iran have a high potential in creating material and energy flow networks with the industrial ecology approach to prevent massive energy loss and valuabl...

A simple and effective fuzzy clustering approach is presented for fuzzy modeling from industrial data. In this approach, fuzzy clustering is implemented in two phases: data compression by a self-organizing network, and fuzzy partitioning via fuzzy cmeans clustering associated with a proposed cluster validity measure. The approach is used to extract fuzzy models from data and find out the optima...

Analysis of more than 20 projects for clustering small and medium enterprises and supporting organizations in different Latin American countries has uncovered a number of barriers, activities, structures, strategies, policies and procedures that impact competitiveness. These factors mean that there are different appropriate industrial cluster and industrial business models appropriate for the s...

Uncertain and stochastic states have been always taken into consideration in the fields of risk management and accident, like other fields of industrial engineering, and have made decision making difficult and complicated for managers in corrective action selection and control measure approach. In this research, huge data sets of the accidents of a manufacturing and industrial unit have been st...
