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.

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.

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.

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.

In this modern world, considering to the environmental problems is very important. The relationship between this topic and positive effects of free trade on the economic development and growth of the countries caused the importance of the topic is observed in international discussions more than ever. In this study, trade liberalization along with the factors affecting environment are considered in two groups of selected countries which are the member of Organization for Economic Development & Cooperation and developing countries such as Iran within 1995-2007 via dynamic panel data and static panel data. The relationships between the variables have been assessed by estimation to fixed and random effects method emphasizing on generalized moment method (GMM). The results indicated that the economic growth, population growth as well as value added of industrial sector resulted into the pollution intensification for both groups of selected countries. Degree of trade openness and trade of manufacturing products in the countries member of Organization for Economic Development & cooperation lead to pollution abatement and for developing countries leads to pollution expansion.

Ecological industry is to realize the harmonious development between economy and environment by planning industrial systems according to material cycle in the natural ecological system. Industrial ecology competitiveness refers to the entire industry’s emphasis on the ecological environment and interaction and the idea of harmony and co-evolution in all aspects of industrial production and management With analogy analysis between natural and industrial ecosystems, the paper proposes some common comparability in structure, function and characters, and then this paper discusses some concepts and definitions related to the industrial ecology competitiveness, such as environment adaptation, industrial harmonious mutualism and resource productivity. The conclusion points out that industrial ecology system is the most effective sustainable and circular economy developing pattern.
