Production

This article Based on case study in Sanaye Felezi Iran Co. in this research, introduce a model in order to the production balance with the aim of improving for total expected cost. In the first step of research, introduce a linear programming model to determination the number of production in any production department. In the second step, by using the Hungarian allocation technique, the operator was allocated to any work stations. In the third step, introduce a Transportation programming model with the aim of improving for raw materials cost to any production departments. In the fourth step, with the use of ‘technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution’ (TOPSIS), to determination the best transportation route, classifying material transportation routes from warehouses to assembly shop.

The manufacturing sector in India is growing with double digit is likely to continue its growth story in future due to its labor advantage in terms of skill and availability of raw materials. In this research paper authors has conducted an in depth research to establish that how manufacturing competency of Indian manufacturingsector plays a significant role in superior performance.

In this article based on case study in shelter assembly shop in Sanaye Felezi Iran Co, with the use of "Stop -Watch" method, the cycle time of every conveyance operation to each workstation of the assembly lines is measured then the standard time of every conveyance cycle, the ideal rate of conveyance, the velocity of conveyance in each minute, are calculated. Then, with the use of linear programming technique, decrease the total expected cost of conveyance. In the next stage, by using the Hungarian allocation technique, for each line of assembly shop, lifter and the operator was allocated and in the next stage classifying the raw materials transportation paths from warehouses to assembly shop to determination the best transportation path by use of ‘technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution’ (TOPSIS). Finally, usage of production distribution model to optimum distribution of productions in Sanaye Felezi Iran Co.

In today's competitive world, organizations are expected to surpass the competitors and benefit from the resources and benefits. Therefore, organizations need to improve the current performance is felt more than ever that this requires to identify organizational optimal strategies, and consider all strategies simultaneously. In this study, to enhance competitive advantage and according to customer requirements, alignment between business, production and marketing strategies, House of Quality (QFD) approach has been used and zero-one linear programming model has been studied. First, the alignment between production and marketing strategies with business strategy, independent weights of these strategies is calculated. Then with using QFD approach the aligned weights of optimal strategies in each production and marketing field will be obtained and finally the aligned marketing strategies selection with the purpose of allocating budget and specialist human resource to marketing functions will be done that lead to increasing competitive advantage and benefit.

This research about the use of integration and minimization of supply chain and logistic total expected cost model in Sanaye Feleziye Iran Co. In previous research that be done in this company, focus only on supply, production and distribution models or the combination of two models from these models, but there is no review the relationship between these three models. This issue is very importance because integration of total expected costs in terms of supply, production and distribution is the main reason for reduce of total expected costs. This research includes of the use of supply, production and distribution models and an integration model that is integrated supply, production and distribution systems.

The present paper deals with the performance modeling and simulation of the paper making system of a paper plant. The paper plant is a complex and repairable engineering unit which comprises of various systems including feeding, chipping, digesting, washing, bleaching, screening and paper making etc. One of the most important functionaries of a paper plant is paper making system which is having four main subsystems. Considering the exponential distribution for the probable failures and repairs, the performance model has been developed with the help of mathematical formulation based on Markov birth-death process. Using probabilistic approach, the differential equations have been developed. Then these equations are further solved by using normalizing conditions so as to determine the steady state availability i.e. measure of performance of paper making system of a paper plant. The performance of each subsystem of the paper making system of a paper plant also has been analyzed for selecting the best possible maintenance strategies in a paper plant. So, the findings of this paper will be highly useful to the plant management for timely execution of best possible maintenance strategies and hence to enhance the system performance.

Game-theoretic approach is common in supply chain management to analyze the effect of controllable factors on the decision parameters. This study examines a combination of a long-term contract and a penalty contract for multiple periods between a single supplier and a retailer. Demand is stochastic but uniformly distributed over the selling seasons of periods. Supplier’s capacity decision is required to be taken at the beginning of period before the retailer placing the order. The supply chain performance is observed by analyzing committed order quantity and the sole total profits of supplier and retailer.

The objective of this study is two fold. First, the present study seek to examine the relationship between logistics cost and sales. Second, this relationship is achieved economies of scales or not. The study is based on secondary data of top ten food companies during the period of 2008-09. The result reveals that Indus foods products limited has received highest sales growth during this period due to less logistic costs. However, there is some unusual trend has been seen in other firm’s logistic costs and sales perspectives. Thus, the study concluded that logistics cost has a strategic importance in accomplishing companies long tem goals.

Awareness of the correct form of the money-demand function of a country is necessary to adopt monetary policies in each country's economy. Also, recognition of the stability of money demand plays a key role in economic decision making. This study has addressed the factors affecting money-demand in Iran during 1978-2016 using ARDL method and investigated its stability using CUSUM method. Most studies conducted in our country have used the variables of interest rate, national production, exchange rate and inflation rate as factors affecting money demand. The present study has used the variables of foreign assets of the central bank and government debts in addition to four variables mentioned in order to create a distinction with other similar studies, according to the results of the study carried out by Jindal (2016) and Opuka (2017). According to the results of the ARDL method, the variables of the government debts, national production, inflation, foreign reserves of the central bank and the exchange rate (which is based on the Opoku’s scientific theory (2017) and known as the wealth effect ) have a positive and significant effect on the money demand in Iran, and the interest rate has a negative and significant effect on money demand in Iran. According to the results of the CUSUM method, the money demand function in Iran is stable.

This short article addresses several prevailing issues evolving from the growth of Indian industries and portrays the prospective of India to be transformed into World’s manufacturing hub. Thereafter several criteria and sub-criteria are identified which are crucial in this regard. In order to understand the scope of India to turn out to be the potential manufacturing hub, a relative and comparative analysis has been carried out using a Multi Criteria Decision Analysis tool namely Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The result obtained, demonstrates that India is an automatic choice as the hub of manufacturing, since all the important resources are available in abundance.
