Currently, cost management is playing an import role in building the overall competence of construction supply chain (CSC). In order to solve the major problems of cost management in our CSC, we propose that lean thinking be applied to CSC cost management so as to improve cost competence of our CSC by eliminating all forms of non-value added activities and wastes across the entire supply chain. This...
In psychophysical scaling, a subjective rating in the current trial is tend to be biased by preceding trials (sequential effect). Here, we investigated the factor determining the sequential effect: physical stimulus, evaluation process, or response in the preceding trials. Participants observed disks with different luminance values and rated the perceived brightness of the disk on a 9-point scale...
In order to diagnose defects intelligently in the injection molding process, a model, which could quickly and accurately acquire defect diagnosis knowledge, is constructed to make decision for actual production. The model is based on the in-depth analysis of injection molding defects. Then rough set theory are used to construct a sample database and complete attribute reduction, rule self-extracting...
The development of sustainable energy is national strategy's basis for sustainable development. Both China and the world are facing the problem that the current energy crisis restricts the economic development. Therefore, the implementation of energy strategy as a long-term effective method, it can fundamentally solve the energy bottleneck. Which kind of energy will be used as the dominant energy...
The greenhouse locating has become one of the most important problems for investors; it is a complicated problem and a decision under a variety of factors. This study aims at prioritize indicators and sub-indicators that effective in greenhouse locating. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is applied to formulate and prioritize the indicators and sub-indicators, most of the indicators are basically qualitative...
After analyzing launching characters of ventilation system, water cycling system and circuit supply system in large warehouse systems, PHM (Prognostics and Health Management) technology applications in large warehouse systems is discussed in terms of maintainability and supportability, and a framework of maintenance support mode for large warehouse systems is proposed based on PHM. The foundation...
Especially for air conditioning tasks with applications in the area of preventive conservation, requirements can only be described by using vague and incomplete information. In this field of application a fuzzy formulation, which considers stationary, dynamical and economy demands of climate values, turned out to be appropriate. The presented paper describes an unifying approach of formulating fuzzy...
A novel approach for proactive spatial information delivery is put forward. From the point of view of decision-making theory, spatial information delivery process can be seen as decision making and implementation. Note that the classic TOPSIS method in Multi-Attribute Decision-Making theory reveals two problems when applying in the delivery of spatial information and one is the difficulty of achieving...
With the increasing return from modern economics to the economic reality in recent years, happiness economics as a popular science that make study of the people's behaviors to pursue happiness and the law producing happiness, has been more widespread concerned by the academic. In the background of building a harmonious society in China, the purpose of making and implementing of the national policy...
In this article, based on analysis the effect factors of waste air material recycling center location decision-making index system, build up an evaluation index system of waste air material recycling center location decision-making index system. The core of this system is the model and algorithm based on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Also, there are some case studies offered to clarify the...
Aiming at the problem being too complex for the present evaluation methods on emergency logistics system, a new method, improved set pair analysis model was used to solve the complicated non-linear relation between the evaluation factors and emergency logistics system level. The model was applied to evaluate emergency logistics system. We will take the disaster of Wenchuan earthquake for instance...
The cost is a key factor of affecting the Core competitiveness, and the cost is the eternal topic in every enterprise. Therefore, that we study the innovation on cost control on Strategic- operating-cost and strategic non-operating costs is a topic of important research value. The research aims at providing valuable guidance or reference for control ling costs and enhancing core competitiveness of...
This paper detailed discusses the concept of the life cycle cost in construction project, and the importance for how to use the theory in road engineering. At the same time, it explores the cost of various stage, it analyses the different stage of road engineering from the whole cycle life cost, tells us the importance of different stage. At the end, it gives us some policy and advice.
This paper firstly gives a construction safety evaluation system based on previously researches. Secondly, it gives the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy sets concisely. Then, intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method is introduced. Finally, a numerical example for safety evaluation is given to illustrate application of the method.
Vendor selection is the most important decision making process in supply chain management. To improve the vendor selection efficiency, a two level vendor selection model is proposed through case-based reasoning method. Fuzzy sets theory application is the fundamental to realize the vendor retrieval with fuzzy description of selection criteria and fuzzy similarity analysis. The optimal vendor solution...
Waste and recycling resource management is one of the most important application areas of life cycle assessment. This article first points out the importance of using the life cycle assessment in waste and recycling resource decision making, and then analyses current life cycle studies in China of different types of recycling resources, such as scrap iron and steel, scrap nonferrous metals, plastics,...
Nowadays decision-making systems are getting more complex every year by collecting different kinds of data and therefore requiring sophisticated analysis. Agent-based Modeling is a new approach in modeling decision-making systems, which allows more flexibility than standard central management systems. This paper presents an agent-based model applied for warehouse logistics system. It shows the advantages...
This paper consists of a detailed project level examination of how a project team handles a multitude of relationships. Using methodology from an ethnographic study that followed a project for years, it describes how the project team displayed an ability to meet a variety of stakeholders representing different and often divergent interests. The project teams' stakeholder activities came about as a...
This paper stated the impact of the application of the analytic hierarchy process (referred to as the AHP) factors on construction project bidding. In order to eliminate subjective factors on the results of the tender, indicators (program) is obtained by pairwise comparing the importance of the weight of each index, and determine the pros and cons of each program sort. Finally the evaluation and determination...
This paper investigated the choice of suppliers for emergency supplies. An evaluation index system which is suitable for the choice of suppliers for emergency supplies was constructed according to the characteristics of emergency supplies. Since traditional Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method does not consider limited resource constraints, this paper proposed that the combination of AHP and linear...
