Optimal Deteriorating Inventory Models for Varies Supply Life Cycles
Get PDFAgriculture items, such as fruits and vegetables, have different supply and demand characteristics during a harvest period. Fruits supply in the first and end of harvest time are not reliable so sometimes supply are not available when needed. Fruits demand is different during harvest season. In the first harvest season, demand depends on price and at the end of harvest time, the demand depends on presentation of the items. In this study, inventory deteriorating items models for the first and the end of the harvest season are developed. Since closed-form solutions cannot be derived from the models, a Genetic Algorithm and a heuristic method are used to solve the problems. A numerical example and sensitivity analysis are conducted to illustrate the model and get insights. The sensitivity analysis shows that the supplier will increase his price when supply is not reliable at the early harvest period. The results show that the unreliable supply is susceptible to the total cost at the end of the harvest period
Logistics Modelling for the University Transport Service Using Choice Experiment
Get PDFThe use of Single Own Vehicle (SOV) among university students in the campus area has been increased lately. Many factors attributed to this scenario. One of them is the availability of the university transport service in the campus area. The benefits of using SOV to the students is undeniable. However, such a scenario gives traffic or environmental problems if the number of SOV users are not regulated. One common approach that has been applied in many universities for reducing the SOV users is by providing the university transport service to their students. But why such service fails to reduce the number of SOV users? Using a Choice Experiment (CE) technique, this study is undertaken to investigate the UUM students’ preferences and satisfaction on the university transport service. The results from the Latent Class Model (LCM) show that the respondents in UUM are not satisfied with the currently provided service and put a hope that the service will be improved soon. This study also found that the respondents are willing to pay (WTP) an additional amount of money if the service is improved where the focus attributes of the service are such passengers loading and service to the nearby towns
The Importance of Integrating Local Culture Values in Science Learning by Supply Chain Strategy
Get PDFAbstract— This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the model of integrating local cultural values in science learning in elementary school based on the supply chain strategy. The design of this study includes four stages, namely: (1) preliminary study; (2) design of learning models; (3) developing of learning models; and (4) validating the models in the science learning process in supply chain. In this study, step (3) and step (4) are carried out, while steps (1) and steps (2) have been implemented in the previous year. This research was carried out in several elementary schools: (1) in Dendang Belitung Timur District, Bangka Belitung; and (2) in Kediri Tabanan District, Bali. A total of 21 elementary school teachers and more than 300 elementary school students were included in this study. The results of this study, it can be seen that there is an increase in the ability of elementary school teachers to design and implement science learning by integrating local cultural values in science learning in the classroom. From the results of statistical tests, it is seen that there is an increase in student learning outcomes before and after the learning process takes place. In addition, most students appear to be actively participating and look happy during the learning process because the science content they learn is associated with local cultural values in their surroundings. The learning process like this makes it fun not only for elementary school teachers who teach but also makes students are happy in learning science
The Role of Web-Sphere for Managing Supply Chain Business Objects in Heterogeneous Systems
Get PDFAbstract— The study discusses the problem of managing supply chain business objects in heterogeneous systems through the use of Business Process Management Systems (BPMS). The purpose of the research is to summarize the experience of domestic enterprises (operating in logistics and other businesses) when using cloud-based logistics systems; to identify general development trends in the domestic market and to develop recommendations for improving the efficiency of supply chain management based on cloud technologies. The research hypothesis is that the competitiveness of the logistics system grows along with its synergy. To test the hypothesis, a survey of 94 respondents working with such systems has been conducted. It has been found that IBM WebSphere is the most preferable system as it provides the maximum synergistic effect that is achieved by the targeted, coordinated, and mutual operation of two or more digital technologies to achieve a certain common goal. In particular, this stems from the fact that it is not enough to produce quality and essential goods or to provide a service; it is important to be able to convey the message to the consumer. The concept of competition has expanded beyond the boundaries of products (goods or services) and has moved into the sphere of competition among management structures
