rice production in most of asian countries has been increased more rapidly than population and this has been led to increase in supply and proportionately decrease in the real price of rice in world and domestic markets. furthermore, together with growth in production and national gross income of the country per-capita income has been increased and also demand for rice at national and internati...

This study is concerned with how the quality of perishable products can be improved by shortening the time interval between production and distribution. As special types of food such as dairy products decay fast, the integration of production and distribution scheduling (IPDS) is investigated. An integrated scheduling of both processes improves the performance and costs because the separated sc...

The integrated problem of production and distribution scheduling is relevant in many industrial applications. Thus, many heuristics to solve this integrated problem have been developed in the last decade. Most of these heuristics use a sequential working principal or a single decomposition and integration approach to separate and solve subproblems. A heuristic using a multi step decomposition a...

The growth of large firms that integrated production and distribution in the late nineteenth-century U.S. has been chronicled often, most recently by Alfred Chandler. The historical literature, with its emphasis on the integration of production and distribution, has not been amenable to formal economic analysis using the traditional tools of industrial organization.. This paper draws on the lit...

Joint Inversion of Production and Temperature Data Illuminates Vertical Permeability Distribution in Deep Reservoirs. (August 2012) Zhishuai Zhang, B.S., Nankai University Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Behnam Jafarpour Dr. Akhil Datta-Gupta Characterization of connectivity in compartmentalized deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GoM) reservoirs is an outstanding challenge of the industry that can ...

Supply chain management is a set of used methods for the efficient integration of suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, and sellers to response customer requirements to reduce system costs and to distribute products at the right place and right time. This study aims to identify and rank the supply chain damages using the analytic network process as a practical case in a fast moving consumer goo...

The subject of the paper is planning of distribution network in case of integration of distributed generation on weak medium voltage network. Because network long-term planning includes major uncertainties and integration of distributed generation has remarkable effects at these areas, final network plans may be done after the integration agreement has been concluded. In order to limit the pric...

in today's globalization, an effective integration of production and distribution plans into a unified framework is crucial for attaining competitive advantage. this paper addresses an integrated multi-product and multi-time period production/distribution planning problem for a two-echelon supply chain subject to the real-world variables and constraints. it is assumed that all transportations a...
