Uncertainty in the business environment is a major threat at each and every level of the supply chain. Every day new challenges and opportunities arise – rising cost of fue‚ implications of an organization’s carbon footprint‚ outsourcing regulations‚ tax incentives‚ and political fluctuation. Proactively monitoring the implications of such events at frequent intervals is crucial for an organization. By using a variety of Supply Chain modeling and mathematical tools‚ an organization is able to develop an understanding

Introduction Markowitz (1952‚ 1956) pioneered the development of a quantitative method that takes the diversification benefits of portfolio allocation into account. Modern portfolio theory is the result of his work on portfolio optimization. Ideally‚ in a mean-variance optimization model‚ the complete investment opportunity set‚ i.e. all assets‚ should be considered simultaneously. However‚ in practice‚ most investors distinguish between different asset classes within their portfolio-allocation frameworks

Technical Aspects of ITVEM Systems Optimization Associated with the ITVEM optimization model‚ it will be the optimization of the cost minimization‚ although the optimization can also be in terms of maximizing the performance. To do so‚ Figure V.5 can assist to be a chart reference‚ whereas it should also develop several assumptions regarding the optimization process‚ for example‚ the Cobb-Douglas production function (Lin and Kao‚ 2014) replaces each the desired output (the starred y*it‚ i = 1

Optimization is the problem of finding the best feasible solution to the problem. Optimization in healthcare is in the industry from past three decades. But now-a-days optimizations in healthcare have become noticeably and is attracting operation researchers because of the decreasing birth rates in nearly all the developed countries. Optimization has been applied in healthcare for various problems from operational level decisions to the designing of national healthcare policies. This case study

LAB 6. ACIDS AND BASES: PH AND BUFFERS PURPOSE: To determine the pH of common acids and bases using a pH meter‚ pH paper‚ and red cabbage indicator. To test the effect of adding an acid or base to a buffer solution. SAFETY CONCERNS: Always wear safety goggles. Wash with soap and water if skin contacts acids or bases. ACIDS: An Acid is a substance that when dissolved in water will produce hydrogen ions‚ H+‚ in the solution. An acid that does not contain carbon is called an inorganic
