Free Download Supply Chain Safety Management: Security and Robustness in Logistics By Sandra Tandler, Michael Essig (auth.), Michael Essig, Michael Hülsmann, Eva-Maria Kern, Stephan Klein-Schmeink (eds.)
2013 | 374 Pages | ISBN: 3642320201 | PDF | 19 MB
Companies face a variety of risks resulting from cost reduction strategies, rationalization measures, global sourcing, and outsourcing activities. Due to the large number of actors involved, extremely close ties emerge, which significantly increase supply chains’ vulnerability to disruptions – this has been shown again and again in the past few years. Against this background, the aspect of supply continuity is of increasing importance for all activities that relate to procurement, logistics, and supply chain management. Its objective is to ensure the continuous operation of supply chains, i.e., the uninterrupted flow of material, information, and coordination from the initial supplier to the end customer. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt adequate measures that take into consideration not only potential losses but also potential gains (so-called speculative risks).With this book, the concept of Supply Chain Safety Management is introduced. The concept itself is embedded in a comprehensive and dynamic management process. Depending on a supply chain’s individual objectives, a set of courses of action is offered for any risk factors – whether they are identifiable and quantifiable or not. The practicability of Supply Chain Safety Management is highlighted by various case studies.The book "Supply Chain Safety Management: Achieving Security and Robustness in Logistics" targets both the areas of science and of practice. First, the state of the art in research is reflected and valuable impulses for new and respectively for further research fields are provided by taking into consideration the points of view of scientists and practitioners in the business environment. Next, theoretically well‐substantiated, modern approaches and tools applicable to the business world are offered, an impetus for new ideas and fields of positioning is given and best practice examples are presented allowing a fruitful exchange of experiences between practitioners.

Free Download Adam Berenyi, "Physician Supply and Demand "
English | ISBN: 1608761304 | 2010 | 112 pages | PDF | 5 MB
The United States continues to debate the adequacy of the current and future supply of physicians. This book presents projections of physician supply and requirements for 18 physician specialties using the Physician Supply Model (PSM) and the Physician Requirements Model (PRM) developed by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). This book also focuses on recent supply trends for primary care professionals, including information on training and demographic characteristics. Projections of future supply for primary care professionals, including the factors underlying these projections are examined, as well as the influence of the health care system’s financing mechanisms on the valuation of primary care services. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

Free Download Water Supply Network District Metering: Theory and Case Study By Armando Di Nardo, Michele Di Natale, Anna Di Mauro (auth.)
2013 | 94 Pages | ISBN: 3709114926 | PDF | 6 MB
The management of a water supply network can be substantially improved defining permanent sectors or districts that enhances simpler water loss detection and pressure management. However, the water network partitioning may compromise water system performance, since some pipes are usually closed to delimit districts in order not to have too many metering stations, to decrease costs and simplify water balance. This may reduce the reliability of the whole system and not guarantee the delivery of water at the different network nodes. In practical applications, the design of districts or sectors is generally based on empirical approaches or on limited field experiences. The book proposes a design support methodology, based on graph theory principles and tested on real case study. The described methodology can help water utilities, professionals and researchers to define the optimal districts or sectors of a water supply network.

Free Download Optimal Control and Optimization of Stochastic Supply Chain Systems By Dong-Ping Song (auth.)
2013 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 1447147235 | PDF | 3 MB
Optimal Control and Optimization of Stochastic Supply Chain Systems examines its subject the context of the presence of a variety of uncertainties. Numerous examples with intuitive illustrations and tables are provided, to demonstrate the structural characteristics of the optimal control policies in various stochastic supply chains and to show how to make use of these characteristics to construct easy-to-operate sub-optimal policies. In Part I, a general introduction to stochastic supply chain systems is provided. Analytical models for various stochastic supply chain systems are formulated and analysed in Part II. In Part III the structural knowledge of the optimal control policies obtained in Part II is utilized to construct easy-to-operate sub-optimal control policies for various stochastic supply chain systems accordingly. Finally, Part IV discusses the optimisation of threshold-type control policies and their robustness. A key feature of the book is its tying together of the complex analytical models produced by the requirements of operational practice, and the simple solutions needed for implementation. The analytical models and theoretical analysis propounded in this monograph will be of benefit to academic researchers and graduate students looking at logistics and supply chain management from standpoints in operations research or industrial, manufacturing, or control engineering. The practical tools and solutions and the qualitative insights into the ideas underlying functional supply chain systems will be of similar use to readers from more industrially-based backgrounds.

Free Download Supply Chain Finance Modelling and Optimization
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819723582 | 544 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 46 MB
This book provides a general overview of the use of optimisation techniques in decision-making concerning inventory problems, supply chain management, production and manufacturing management, problems related to vendor selection, transportation and logistics, and the use of fuzzy or interval techniques (uncertainty) in the aforementioned areas. It offers helpful guidance on how to decide which strategies to apply in different areas of real-world problems, especially highlighting latest advancements in supply chain management, inventory control, environmental planning, and optimisation. All authors have extensive research experience in practical decision-making scenarios which serves as the foundation for contributing chapters. The book thus assists scientists, upcoming researchers, and businesspeople in understanding optimisation techniques for finding the optimal answer to decision-making problems.
