Automated test generation has been suggested as a way of creating tests at a lower cost. Nonetheless, it is not very well studied how such tests compare to manually written ones in terms of cost and effectiveness. This is particularly true for industrial control software, where strict requirements on both specification-based testing and code coverage typically are met with rigorous manual testing...
Supply chain management is an integrated concept and method of management, which emphasizes the efficiency and benefit of whole supply chain, lays stress on the cooperation of enterprises, and increases the whole competitive capability of the supply chain. We evaluate the availability logistics problems of the primary business in the logistics by means of the nine displaying technique in supply chain...
Incentive mechanism for logistics service provider's service quality improvement is studied. First, we design a revenue sharing contract to promote logistics provider quality improved behavior. The effect of the contract without counting the opportunism behavior is analyzed. The results show that the contract can encourage logistics provider to improve logistics service quality. Second, in view of...
In view of the mode of the road, rail, water transport, air and pipeline transportation and so on, five factors of the cost, speed, security, punctuality and transportation capacity are compared which point out the advantages and disadvantages of each transportation mode, and use the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for the optimal decision is the railway transportation, and then analyze the current...
Customer service level and cost are two elements that create corporation competitive advantage in auto industry. A model is established proving that current logistics mode-same replenishment policy to all parts have to sacrifice one when achieving another. So a distinguished replenishment policy to hub is discussed. The mode is composed of three steps. Parts classification: according to holding risk...
The article applies flow method to conclude that the total cost of supply chain is comprised of order management cost, inventory acquisition cost, transportation/storage/distribution costs, manufacturing cost, cost of goods sold, total supply chain management cost, supply chain-related financial and plan cost, supply chain-related cost information technology cost and communications cost, after-service...
The electricity and transportation industries are the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions on Earth. Renewable energy, mainly wind and solar, can reduce emission from the electricity industry (mainly from power plants). Likewise, next-generation plug-in vehicles, which include plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (EVs) and EVs with vehicle-to-grid capability, referred to as “gridable vehicles” (GVs)...
This paper studies the replenishment problem in a single item, multi-supplier environment. A cost optimal model is presented. A comparative analysis with singe supplier model showed the difference in two conditions. An extended model based on model in MTP is proposed when considering the time and production capability constraints in MTO and shows the management issues in organizing MTO supply chain.
Distribution center is a bridge connecting providers and clients. It plays an important role in logistics system. This paper put forward the least cost and the shortest time allocation models of materials distribution center. The integrated measure allocation models of materials distribution center considering the time and the cost together is built and a solution flow to the least cost and the shortest...
