Optimization of Supply Chain Network Perspective Environmental Impact Based on Fuzzy Mathematical Programming

Article October 17, 2014

Supply chain management (SCM) is concerned with a complex business relations network that contains interrelationships between various entities, such as suppliers, manufacturers, distribution centers and customers. SCM integrates these entities and manages their interrelationships through the use of information technology to meet customer expectation effectively along the entire value chain. Thus, one of the vital issues in supply chain management is the design of the value chain network.In this paper, a multi objective fuzzy mathematical programming model is developed to optimize the supply chain networking under inherent uncertainty of input data. The proposed model is able to optimize the environmental impacts beside the traditional cost minimization objective to make a fair balance between them. The model determines the fuzzy capacities of the facilities and the design of the network configuration with a minimum total cost. A real case is used to demonstrate the significance and applicability of the developed fuzzy optimization model as well as the usefulness of the proposed solution approach. The developed model is solved by a professional software package (LINDO), and the computational results are discussed.

Attendance Management System for Industrial Worker using Finger Print Scanner

Article August 10, 2013

Attendance management is the act of managing attendance or presence in a work setting, which maximizes and motivates employee attendance thereby minimizing loss. Not only does it affect productivity, it can cost the company profits or even additional contracts. For the industrial sector attendance management system can develop alacrity among the workers to work regularly and also help them to motivate their co- worker to attend work regularly. Fingerprints are considered to be the best and fastest method for biometric identification. They are secure to use, unique for every person and do not change in one's lifetime. Fingerprint recognition is a mature field to-day, but still identifying individual from a set of enrolled fingerprints is a time taking process. This paper illustrates improvement of attendance management system based on fingerprint identification for implementation on large databases e.g. of an industry or a garments factory etc. In this project, many new algorithms have been used e.g. gender estimation, key based one to many matching, removing boundary minutiae. Using these new algorithms a new attendance management system has been developed which is faster and cheaper in implementation than any other available today in the market.
