In current scenario strong competitive pressure forces several organizations to available their products and services, cheaper, faster and improved than the rivals to their valuable customer. Managers have come to comprehend that they cannot do it individually without suitable vendors. Supply Chain Management empower the flows of material, information and funds in a association consisting of customers, suppliers, manufacturers and distributors, which beings raw materials, maintain by internal operations complete with distribution of finished goods. In the continually changing world, assortment of appropriate vender is facilitating in supply chain management, selection of right vendor is extremely useful part of purchasing department. This paper seeks to propose a methodology to integrate the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for right supplier selection and evaluation and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) analysis to enhance the effectiveness of outsourcing decisions. A selection that combines the subjective factors and objective factors and attitude of the decision maker decide the best supplier in the supply chain management system. The proposed integrated model could be used for supplier selection, which involves several quantitative and qualitative factors. Also could be used to determining the optimum order quantity. The propose method is a group decision making approach which shadows the traditional approaches of supplier selection.
This document summarizes a literature review on supplier development. It categorizes 62 research papers on supplier development based on their research methodology (e.g. surveys, case studies) and content focus (e.g. activities/practices, direct vs indirect development). The review finds that most papers focus on supplier development activities, practices and success factors. It also identifies gaps in the literature around frameworks for selecting development activities and evaluating their impact. The review concludes different approaches to supplier development can be either reactive/strategic or direct/indirect.
DEVELOPMENT OF A SUPPLIER SELECTION MODEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT OF A THA...IAEME Publication
The purpose of this research is to establish a supplier selection model for
maintenance operations in the petrochemical industry in Thailand. The research
identifies six factors that could be relevant to supplier selection success, including cost,
quality, time, reliability, flexibility, and human resources. A survey was conducted of
experts in maintenance supplier management in one of Thailand’s large petrochemical
firms (n = 113). Results were tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and
structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings showed that there were significant
effects of cost, quality, flexibility, and human resources on the supplier selection
success. However, factors including time and reliability were not significant. The
implication of this research is that cost, quality, flexibility and human resources should
be used to select appropriate suppliers in petrochemical maintenance operations.
Limitations and opportunities for further research are also discussed for the findings.
The Simulation of the Supply Chain in an Investment Company by Genetic Algori...Mohammad Ali Arjamfekr
Nowadays, the supply chain is considered as the most effective element among the economic and manufacturing enterprises and the reason of its foundation is the increase of the pressures by the customer demands on high quality and quick service. Time management in the supply chain causes quick service and the enhancement of customers’ satisfaction level that is the most important component for managing waiting reduction time. After the selection of the suitable supplier, the amount of optimal order of each one of the suppliers must be obtained, implementing using the multi-objective planning models. Thus the purpose of this study is to investigate the simulation of the supply chain in an investment company by genetic algorithm and PSO. This work is done using the multi-objective model design, with the purposes of reducing existing costs in chain, as well as maximizing the purchased materials’ quality from the suppliers.

This study applies the research of perception gap analysis to supply chain integration and develops a generic model, the 3-Level Gaps Model, with the goal of contributing to harmonization and integration in the supply chain. The model suggests that significant perception gaps may exist among supply chain members with regards to the importance of different performance criteria. The concept of the model is conceived through an empirical and inductive approach, combining the research discipline of supply chain relationship and perception gap analysis. First hand data has been collected through a survey across a key buyer in the motor insurance industry and its eight suppliers. Rigorous statistical analysis testified the research hypotheses, which in turn verified the validity and relevance of the developed 3-Level Gaps Model. The research reveals the significant existence of supply chain perception gaps at all three levels as defined, which could be the root-causes to underperformed supply chain.

There are more than 15 million college students in the US alone. Academic advising for courses and scholarships is typically performed by human advisors, bringing an immense managerial workload to faculty members, as well as other staff at universities. This paper reports and discusses the development of two educational expert systems at a private international university. The first expert system is a course advising system which recommends courses to undergraduate students. The second system suggests scholarships to undergraduate students based on their eligibility. While there have been reported systems for course advising, the literature does not seem to contain any references to expert systems for scholarship recommendation and eligibility checking. Therefore the scholarship recommender that we developed is first of its kind. Both systems have been implemented and tested using Oracle Policy Automation (OPA) software.

DEA-Based Benchmarking Models In Supply Chain Management: An Application-Orie...ertekg
Download Link > https://ertekprojects.com/gurdal-ertek-publications/blog/data-envelopment-analysis/
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a mathematical methodology for benchmarking a group of entities in a group. The inputs of a DEA model are the resources that the entity consumes, and the outputs of the outputs are the desired outcomes generated by the entity, by using the inputs. DEA returns important benchmarking metrics, including efficiency score, reference set, and projections. While DEA has been extensively applied in supply chain management (SCM) as well as a diverse range of other fields, it is not clear what has been done in the literature in the past, especially given the domain, the model details, and the country of application. Also, it is not clear what would be an acceptable number of DMUs in comparison to existing research. This paper follows a recipe-based approach, listing the main characteristics of the DEA models for supply chain management. This way, practitioners in the field can build their own models without having to perform detailed literature search. Further guidelines are also provided in the paper for practitioners, regarding the application of DEA in SCM benchmarking.

Study of Performance Appraisal System for Faculty Members in Selected Managem...ijtsrd
"Performance Appraisal provides a periodic review and evaluation of an individual’s job performance. Although the appraisal forms may only be completed once a year, the job of performance appraisal is continuous – sometimes daily and requires effective communication on both the part of the supervisor and the Respondent. The supervisor is ultimately responsible to make sure these conversations actually take place and are documented. It is essential that the supervisor hold all performance discussions and documentation in complete confidence. Every organization is having an objective towards optimum performance and the Respondent is the key in achieving it. It is necessary that the Respondents performance should reach optimality for the success of the organization. Many organizations are having performance appraisal systems to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of their Respondent using linguistic labels to their performance. In a production unit, Respondent performance is proportional to the quality and quantity of production, where as in case of educational institute there is no such direct tool available to evaluate the productivity of its faculty members. In judging efficiency of faculty members, often the institute deals with vague or imprecise data resulting to an inconsistence performance evaluation. This study has been particularly taken by the researcher to understand the present scenario of the institute performance appraisal system in these colleges. Researcher wants to find out the weather appraisal is really helping Respondents for the better future or not. Mr. Santosh V. Hasure | Mr. Viraj V.

There are more than 15 million college students in the US alone. Academic advising for courses and scholarships is typically performed by human advisors, bringing an immense managerial workload to faculty members, as well as other staff at universities. This paper reports and discusses the development of two educational expert systems at a private international university. The first expert system is a course advising system which recommends courses to undergraduate students. The second system suggests scholarships to undergraduate students based on their eligibility. While there have been reported systems for course advising, the literature does not seem to contain any references to expert systems for scholarship recommendation and eligibility checking. Therefore the scholarship recommender that we developed is first of its kind. Both systems have been implemented and tested using Oracle Policy Automation (OPA) software.

DEA-Based Benchmarking Models In Supply Chain Management: An Application-Orie...ertekg
Download Link > https://ertekprojects.com/gurdal-ertek-publications/blog/data-envelopment-analysis/
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a mathematical methodology for benchmarking a group of entities in a group. The inputs of a DEA model are the resources that the entity consumes, and the outputs of the outputs are the desired outcomes generated by the entity, by using the inputs. DEA returns important benchmarking metrics, including efficiency score, reference set, and projections. While DEA has been extensively applied in supply chain management (SCM) as well as a diverse range of other fields, it is not clear what has been done in the literature in the past, especially given the domain, the model details, and the country of application. Also, it is not clear what would be an acceptable number of DMUs in comparison to existing research. This paper follows a recipe-based approach, listing the main characteristics of the DEA models for supply chain management. This way, practitioners in the field can build their own models without having to perform detailed literature search. Further guidelines are also provided in the paper for practitioners, regarding the application of DEA in SCM benchmarking.

Study of Performance Appraisal System for Faculty Members in Selected Managem...ijtsrd
"Performance Appraisal provides a periodic review and evaluation of an individual’s job performance. Although the appraisal forms may only be completed once a year, the job of performance appraisal is continuous – sometimes daily and requires effective communication on both the part of the supervisor and the Respondent. The supervisor is ultimately responsible to make sure these conversations actually take place and are documented. It is essential that the supervisor hold all performance discussions and documentation in complete confidence. Every organization is having an objective towards optimum performance and the Respondent is the key in achieving it. It is necessary that the Respondents performance should reach optimality for the success of the organization. Many organizations are having performance appraisal systems to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of their Respondent using linguistic labels to their performance. In a production unit, Respondent performance is proportional to the quality and quantity of production, where as in case of educational institute there is no such direct tool available to evaluate the productivity of its faculty members. In judging efficiency of faculty members, often the institute deals with vague or imprecise data resulting to an inconsistence performance evaluation. This study has been particularly taken by the researcher to understand the present scenario of the institute performance appraisal system in these colleges. Researcher wants to find out the weather appraisal is really helping Respondents for the better future or not. Mr. Santosh V. Hasure | Mr. Viraj V.

4313ijmvsc02A FUZZY AHP APPROACH FOR SUPPLIER SELECTION PROBLEM: A CASE STUDY...ijmvsc
Supplier selection is one of the most important functions of a purchasing department. Since by deciding the best supplier, companies can save material costs and increase competitive advantage. However this decision becomes complicated in case of multiple suppliers, multiple conflicting criteria, and imprecise parameters. In addition the uncertainty and vagueness of the experts’ opinion is the prominent characteristic of the problem. Therefore an extensively used multi criteria decision making tool Fuzzy AHP can be utilized as an approach for supplier selection problem. This paper reveals the application of Fuzzy AHP in a gear motor company determining the best supplier with respect to selected criteria. The contribution of this study is not only the application of the Fuzzy AHP methodology for supplier selection problem, but also releasing a comprehensive literature review of multi criteria decision making problems. In addition by stating the steps of Fuzzy AHP clearly and numerically, this study can be a guide of the methodology to be implemented to other multiple criteria decision making problems.

Design of recommender system based on customer reviewseSAT Journals
Abstract Recommendations play a significant role in every human life. People choose their ideas based on other’s recommendations since they trust the recommendations more. For giving recommendations there emerged a system called Recommender system. Recommender systems play a important role in E-Marketing. Many companies adopt recommender systems to increase in their sales in the market. They can establish their products such that they can attract more customers by giving offers. Many ranking approaches have emerged to rank the top product recommendation to give to user. Ratings calculated can be an explicit or impliocit rating. Popular sites are Amazon.com, Netflix.com, and Movielens.com etc. These sites help the customers to find relevant product to their interest. They play as a place where customers can find all kinds of items. They do so because recommendations given by other customers have been published after they have used the product. Those customers will have experience about the product. From the customers their view of how is the product usage has been collected. This is used in recommendations. In the Proposed system, customer’s views are used for recommendations. While new customer search products, old users views are published for the particular product. On getting the customer views, one user can trust it since common people have more confidence on words-of other people. Based on product, users are given form to fill their views.On getting views, Ratings are calculated from it. These kind of recommender system give useful recommendations since we collect views of people who are familiar with the item or product.

Although there are many dimensions in this new environment, most relevant to international management would be the economic environment that was covered in the research and the cultural environment. Also important are the political, legal and regulatory, and technological dimensions of the environment. The objective of this research is to examine how the political, legal and regulatory, and technological environments have changed in recent years. Some major trends in each that will help dictate the world in which international managers will compete also are presented.

INVARIANCE OF SEPARATION AXIOMS IN ISOTONIC SPACES WITH RESPECT TO PERFECT MA...IJESM JOURNAL
The behavior of separation axioms under perfect mappings has been studied in the realm of topological spaces. In this paper, we extend the characterization of perfect mappings to isotonic spaces and then use this class of continuous functions to investigate the behavior of separation axioms.The hierarchy of separation axioms that is familiar from topological spaces generalizes to spaces with an isotone and expansive closure functions. Neither additivity nor idempotence of the closure function need to be assumed.
MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF POWER OUTPUT IN A WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMIJESM JOURNAL
The developments of wind energy systems have enabled an efficient production and use of wind energy. Three widely used control schemes for wind energy systems are Pitch control, Rotor resistance control and Vector control. A traditional wind energy system consists of a stall regulated or pitch control turbine connected to a synchronous generator through gearbox. The synchronous generator operates at fixed speed and one of the earliest rotor control schemes was the rotor resistance control. The speed of an induction machine is controlled by the external resistance in the rotor circuit. The drawback of the above methods is the inability of wind turbine to capture at low wind speeds. This paper develops a model which maximizes wind energy output. This model asses the effects of friction coefficient and the height of wind above ground(given by the height of turbine from the ground i. e the hub height) on power output. The study considers an already existing model, that is the turbine model in which the study incorporates height and friction coefficient. The three methods used in wind energy systems and the output variations for the different control techniques for a change in the input wind velocity and a constant desired power output reference are compared and the methods evaluated based on the response time and the magnitude of change in the power output compared to the desired power output and also compared by simulation. The results of this study may be useful in aiding in the efficient production of electricity in a wind energy conversion system.
INTRODUCING AN INTEGRATING FACTOR IN STUDYING THE WAGE EQUATIONIJESM JOURNAL
In this paper a first order wage equation is solved by the method of integrating factor. The subsequent wage function is then analyzed and interpreted for stability. The function could initially stand off the equilibrium wage rate but in the long run, it asymptotically stabilizes in inter temporal sense. It is observed that use of an integrating factor in solving the wage equation is just as effective as Laplace transforms demonstrated in [6] but with an advantage of being simple with limited algebra.

ANALYTICAL STUDY OF WAVE MOTION OF A FALLING LIQUID FILM PAST A VERTICAL PLATEIJESM JOURNAL
In this article, the existence of gravity-capillary waves travelling down the surface of a falling liquid film past a vertical plate has been considered. Kapitza’s scheme of finding an approximate expression of velocity u when the film surface assumes an arbitrary shape y = h(x, t), which changes with time, has been emphasized. The expressions for dimensionless wavelength, dimensionless wave number and Weber number have been obtained and are computed for an admissible range of the wave celerity. The stream line pattern has also been studied and presented through graphs.
APPLICATION OF THE METHOD OF VARIATION OF PARAMETERS: MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR ...IJESM JOURNAL
In this paper, a second order wage equation is developed and solved by the method of variation of parameters. The subsequent wage function is then analyzed and interpreted for stability. Speculative parameters, which operate freely dictating employers’ expectations, are included in modeling this equation. The variation of these parameters causes both stability and instability of the wage function depending on circumstances. Where the wage function is exponential, asymptotic stability towards the equilibrium wage rate is observed but where it consists of both exponential and periodic factors, the time path shows periodic fluctuations with successive cycles giving smaller amplitudes until the ripples die naturally. It has been realized that where the wage rate is determined by free market forces of demand and supply, volatility in wage rate may be observed if not controlled. This may increase uncertainties and cause anxiety about investment and employment in the economy. The paper therefore proposes government intervention by creating a middle path in which wage rate is allowed to oscillate freely within a narrow band managed by employers in consultation with the workers under the watch of the government.
Ab Initio Study of Pressure Induced Structural, Magnetic and Electronic Prope...IJESM JOURNAL
We have investigated the pressure induced structural and electronic properties of plutonium pnictides (PuY, Y= P, As, Sb). The total energy as a function of volume is obtained by means of self-consistent tight binding linear muffin-in-orbital (TB-LMTO) method within the local spin density approximation (LSDA). From present study with the help of total energy calculations (spin polarized) it is found that PuP, PuAs and PuSb are stable in NaCl – type structure under ambient pressure. The structural stability of PuP, PuAs and PuSb changes under the application of pressure. We predict a structural phase transition from NaCl-type (B1-phase) to CsCl-type (B2-phase) structure for these Pu-pnictides in the pressure range of 20.8 – 42.0 GPa. We also calculate the lattice parameter, bulk modulus, band structure and density of states. From energy band diagram it is observed that all the three compounds exhibit metallic behaviour. The calculated equilibrium lattice parameters and bulk modulus are in good agreement with available experimental data.
SURVEY OF ENERGY EFFICIENT HIGH PERFORMANCE LOW POWER ROUTER FOR NETWORK ON CHIPIJESM JOURNAL

It surveys several router architectures that aim to improve performance and energy efficiency, including a flexible router that handles requests to busy buffers, a hybrid two-layer router that supports both packet-switched and circuit-switched communications, and a clockless router called MANGO that provides guaranteed services. Fault tolerance is also addressed through simulation-based analysis of transient faults in NOC routers. The document surveys these efficient router designs for high-performance NOCs while balancing the tradeoff between area, power, and performance.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
