The research context of this thesis is supply chain integration in manufacturing industry. This thesis examines how improved visibility in supply chain management can be exploited. The central proposition is that improved visibility brings new demands in supply chain management on the one hand, and gives rise to opportunities in innovative new business processes on the other. The thesis consist...

The present study explores the effect of inbound marketing factors on marketing performance. The statistical population was composed of all customers of six restaurants with Gilaki names in Rasht, which are active in cyberspace. A total of 400 individuals were selected by convenience sampling. The standard scales included visibility management, active listening, community building, wor...

We study a new class of visibility problems based on the notion of α-visibility. Given an angle α and a collection of line segments S in the plane, a segment t is said to be α-visible from a point p, if there exists an empty triangle with one vertex at p and the side opposite to p on t such that the angle at p is α. In this model of visibility, we study the classical variants of point visibilit...

This paper explains two main aspects of RFID supply chain management – the generic supply chain management and the specific military application for the purpose of asset viability. The generic supply chain management is studied by examining how to improve supply chain management through accurately determining inventory levels in real time without human interaction. For the military application,...

Knowledge sharing visibility is a critical environmental factor which can reduce social loafing in knowledge sharing. This is especially true in IT-based knowledge sharing. As such, it is imperative that we better understand how to design IT-based Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) to support high knowledge sharing visibility. This paper examines the impact of knowledge management technology fu...

In this paper, we are concerned with computing and maintaining the exact visibility polygon V (q) of a moving point observer q in planar scenes represented by a polygon with holes with complexity of n. We propose an algorithm that applies and computes each change to V (q) in constant time as q moves to a new neighboring position. In fact, in our method changes to V (q), as the observer q moves,...

Armed with a number of modern and emerging visibility technologies and facing increased competition from the internet channel, retail managers are seeking ever deeper visibility into store operations. We review two established streams of operations management research that try to overcome shortcomings of common retail data sources. The first is demand estimation and inventory optimization in th...

Background India’s full immunisation coverage for infants is 61%. The availability of quality vaccines at session sites is a contributor to low coverage. Weaknesses in the current supply chain include lack of stock visibility, poor distribution planning, and improper storage conditions. A national vaccine logistic management system is required which provides visibility of real time stock levels...
