Abstract:

The recent influence of climate change and land subsidence on the water levels and tidal characteristics in the German Bight is documented by regional tide gauge observations. However, in any long time series the chance arises that measurement conditions may change over time. Some of these changes occur instantaneously like the change of the sensor or corrections of the zero-point of the gauge. Other changes occur subtly, such as alterations of the regional morphology and therefore the mode of behavior at the measurement site. We present long-term changes of tidal characteristics in the waterways of the southern German Bight, by detecting abrupt breakpoints and resulting homogenized trends. In order to understand processes of the changes of the tidal characteristics significant trends in the time series for measured and calculated tidal parameters are analyzed.

Abstract:

High-speed mobility system has now become a serious concern for mobile operators due to the large frameworks of a heterogeneous network made up of multiple cell types and different frequency bands. Handover (HO) is conducted in a real-life scenario when the user equipment (UE) moves from one network coverage to another by performing proper measurement with high speed. HO breakdown and call loss are observed due to a high speed; thus, high-speed mobility system needs improvement by using the UE speed as one of the key measurement monitoring criteria for the long-term evolution (LTE) network. Vendor consultation has been considered in this paper in addition to real drive test measurement in highways. Results have shown that velocity has a direct impact on the handover quality and overall timing. Results also demonstrate that 120 km/h measurement is better than 140 km/h as UE speed.

Abstract:

For the protection of bankside wells and a groundwater recharge an early warning system had to be developed. The monitoring network design is based on sensor measurements only. For this purpose a new submersible spectrometer has been successfully tested for multi-parameter measurements directly in the medium. The developed system can easily be upgraded with other new sensors. Only calibration and validation data are supplied by conventional grab sampling and laboratory analysis.. A conventional testfilter improved by on-line monitoring at 5 sampling sites serves as a reference system. The whole system is equipped with remote control and the internet serves as the control centre of the network. All measurement data from all 9 sites are available in real time on the internet.

Abstract:

The operation and planning of distribution grids require the joint processing of measurements from different grid locations. Since measurement devices in low- and medium-voltage grids lack precise clock synchronization, it is important for data management platforms of distribution system operators to be able to account for the impact of nonideal clocks on measurement data. This paper formally introduces a metric termed Additive Alignment Error to capture the impact of misaligned averaging intervals of electrical measurements. A trace-driven approach for retrieval of this metric would be computationally costly for measurement devices, and therefore, it requires an online estimation procedure in the data collection platform. To overcome the need of transmission of high-resolution measurement data, this paper proposes and assesses an extension of a Markov-modulated process to model electrical traces, from which a closed-form matrix analytic formula for the Additive Alignment Error is derived. A trace-driven assessment confirms the accuracy of the model-based approach. In addition, the paper describes practical settings where the model can be utilized in data management platforms with significant reductions in computational demands on measurement devices.

Abstract:

Beach topographic and hydrodynamic measurements are essential for coastal geology and engineering studies as well as sustainable coastal management. Standard approaches involve either time-consuming manual data acquisition usually with limited coverage or remote sensing techniques which are usually characterized by low resolution or increased costs. The present contribution reports the results from the application of the autonomous robot RTS-Hanna with a calibrated sensor setup including 3D laser range scanners, a camera, a Differential GPS and an inertial measurement unit which significantly facilitates field data collection. RTS-Hanna was tested at the Wadden Sea Barrier Island Langeoog, Northern Germany, for two days and was proven capable of autonomously collecting topographic scans. 175 GB of dense topographic and water surface elevation data were collected, including RBG images, while RTS-Hanna covered a total of 21 km of coastline in approximately 3 hours. Scans of the surf/swash zone allowed continuous measurements of topographic changes at the beachface, wave propagation velocities and wave breaking heights.

Full text

Abstract:

An important tool for the energy management system (EMS) is state estimation. Based on measurements taken throughout the network, state estimation gives an estimation of the state variables of the power system while checking that these estimates are consistent with the measurements. Currently, in the Cameroon power system, state estimates have been provided by ad hoc supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. A disadvantage is that the measurements are not synchronised, which means that state estimation is not very precise during dynamic phenomena in the network. In this paper, real-time phasor measurement units (PMUs) that provide synchronised phasor measurements are proposed for integration into the power system. This approach addresses two important issues associated with the power system state estimation, namely, that of measurement accuracy and that of optimization of the number of measurement sites, their location, and the importance given to their measurements on the dynamic state estimation.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT I examine the role of preparer information gathering and processing constraints in fair value measurement. Using two business combination samples, I investigate whether acquirers adjust the initial fair value measurements of identifiable assets and liabilities during the one-year measurement period permitted by FASB Statement 141(R). Empirical proxies for preparers' information gathering and processing costs explain variation in the incidence and magnitude of measurement period adjustments (MPAs). I classify abnormally large MPAs that allow firms to exceed the consensus analyst forecast as suspect adjustments. Suspect adjustments exhibit little association with earnings management incentives and no association with future goodwill impairment. Overall, the results suggest that acquirers use the measurement period when there are concerns about the quality or availability of information, consistent with the FASB's intentions.

Abstract:

Questions related to the management of the process of multiple measurements are considered, depending on the result, which affects their number. In this case, the measurement time can be significantly increased. The above algorithm for controlling the measurement process justifies the random nature of the duration of its execution, which entails the need to study the time of carrying out multiple measurements. The paper constructs a semi-Markov model that allows to determine the distribution functions of time between events in the output flow of products after measurements, which makes it possible to dock this model with models of elements of higher levels of the hierarchy of the production structure. In the model, it is taken into account that some part of the production after a given number of measurements is defective and leaves the system. The constructed semi-Markov model allows to predict the performance of a technical system associated with multiple measurements.

Abstract:

Performance measurement refers to attempts to quantify some aspect of the performance of an organization. A study was conducted to analyze needs, opportunities, and techniques for measuring performance of transportation management centers (TMCs). Opportunities and needs were identified by analyzing the interrelationships among performance measurement objectives, objects, and study designs. This analysis suggests that before-and-after evaluation studies of traffic management actions and monitoring of traffic data to detect system changes are the most appropriate forms of performance measurement for TMCs. Important potential measures of effectiveness for traffic management systems include travel time and related measures, ramp delay, traffic volumes, accident rates, traffic information accuracy, incident duration, and equipment status. Techniques are available for quantifying these measures, although there are a number of concerns with data accuracy, especially where travel times are estimated from loop-detector data. Case studies of two California TMCs suggest that, although sophisticated data collection systems are available or planned, the institutional infrastructure to carry out performance measurement may be lacking.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a precise comparison between a pre-determined time rules and the evaluation performed with the help of a manual chronometer using data from a line assembly in an automotive industry besieged in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Nowadays, it is possible to verify several tools of measurement of task times, some taking less time and causing less wear of the evaluator than others, but not being in accordance with the real conditions of the workers of a certain industry. Design/methodology/approach The developed paper has its methodology based on two methods of time analysis, one of them being an adaptation of the MODular Arrangement of Predeterminated Time Standard (MODAPTS) method – called MODAPTS 2. This method is used by the industry in analyzed in this work and the other through the use of simple manual timing, through the digital timer, of the stages developed in a workstation. Findings The study shows that for each operation analyzed, thus presenting a situation of minimum waste, it becomes possible to judge which reasons exist for the operator during manual timekeeping not to reach the optimum times generated by the system of pre-determined times and movements (PMTSs) questioned. Research limitations/implications This study is conducted on an automotive enterprise in a period of confidentiality, which means that only a single workstation is able to be studied. This means that the comparison obtained between the time measurements methods used, and the evaluation of the MODAPTS is carried out with the best possible movements and gestures, disregarding then that the wastes can still be postulated to the whole assembly line. Originality/value With the automation in industry, where assemble tasks are usually developed manually, it is believed possible to discard the option of measuring task times in its classic and manual form, using a timer, yet during this process, there will be variables that may not be considered by pre-determined measurements methodologies. The work developed by this paper presents different variables that are not examined by the methods of PMTS, not frequently seen in the literature, as well as the difference that occurs between the measurement of times with stopwatch and the use of PMTS, which, in its original form, disregards the wastes that the operator has in their movements.

Abstract:

Organizational scholars have grown increasingly aware of the importance of capturing phenomenon at the within-person level of analysis in order to test many organizational behavior theories involving emotions, motivation, performance, and interpersonal processes, to name a few. Experience sampling methodology (ESM) and diary-based procedures provide data that better match many dynamic organizational theories by measuring constructs repeatedly across events or days, providing an inter-episodic understanding of phenomena. In this article, we argue for the value of another measurement procedure that also adopts a repeated measures approach but does so by continuously measuring psychological processes without any gaps over relatively short timeframes. More specifically, we suggest that continuous rating assessments (CRA) can serve as a tool that enables the measurement of dynamic intra-episodic processes that unfold over the course of events, enabling precise determination of how, when, and in what way constructs change and influence each other over time. We provide an overview of this methodology, discuss its applicability to understanding time-based phenomena, and illustrate how this technique can provide new insight into dynamic processes using an empirical example.

Abstract:

It is important to grasp biometric data in real time for prompt action in the event of a safety accident at a work site where the risk of safety accidents exists. Among them, blood oxygen saturation is the most important factor in maintaining human life, so real-time oxygen saturation measurement and monitoring is necessary according to the situation as a preemptive response for worker safety management. By receiving real-time bio-signals from workers wearing health and life-risk protective clothing, and sharing and analyzing the worker’s risk status in an external system, it is possible to diagnose the worker’s current condition and efficiently respond to emergencies that may occur to the worker. In this paper, we propose a wearable oxygen saturation measurement platform technology that can monitor the risk of harmful gases and oxygen saturation of the wearer in real time and ensure the wearer's activity and safety in order to cope with emergency situations at the scene of an accident. If we overcome the limitations identified through the results of the proposed system later and apply improved biodata such as motion correction to the platform, we expect that it will be usable not only in hazardous gas environments, but also in hospitals and homes for emergency patients.

Abstract:

Abstract Accuracy requirements for forested resource measurements can vary greatly depending on analysis and management objectives. Technologies that present efficiencies for reliable measurement collection may help organizations better meet data requirements. We tested the accuracy and reliability of a mapping-grade GPS in a variety of forested conditions in western Oregon. Our objectives were to measure the performance of a GPS operating in a standard configuration and also with real-time US Coast Guard Beacon signals. We also examined the influence of postfield differential corrections and the number of GPS points collected on measurement accuracy and reliability. We found measurement accuracies between 1 and 4 m from true position depending on the amount of canopy closure and the type of GPS configuration. Our results indicated that both standard-mode GPS and US Coast Guard Beacon signals can produce very accurate measurements in open-canopy conditions but are less reliable in young-forest conditions. Postprocessing of field measurements generally yielded improved measurements in young-forest settings but led to slightly reduced accuracies for US Coast Guard Beacon data collected in open-canopy settings. Our results also indicated that collecting a greater number of points does not necessarily lead to improved measurement accuracies. West. J. Appl. For. 21(4):222–227.

Abstract:

In value-at-risk (VaR) methodology of option risk measurement, the determination of market values of the current option positions under various market scenarios is critical. Under the full revaluation and factor sensitivity approach which are accepted by regulators, accurate revaluation and precise factor sensitivity calculation of options in response to significant moves in market variables are important for measuring option risks in terms of VaR figures. This paper provides a method for pricing equity options in the constant elasticity variance (CEV) model environment using the Lie-algebraic technique when the model parameters are time-dependent. Analytical solutions for option values incorporating time-dependent model parameters are obtained in various CEV processes. The numerical results, which are obtained by employing a very efficient computing algorithm similar to the one proposed by Schroder [11], indicate that the option values are sensitive to the time-dependent volatility term structures. It is also possible to generate further results using various functional forms for interest rate and dividend term structures. From the analytical option pricing formulae, one can achieve more accuracy to compute factor sensitivities using more realistic term-structures in volatility, interest rate and dividend yield. In view of the CEV model being empirically considered to be a better candidate in equity option pricing than the traditional Black–Scholes model, more precise risk management in equity options can be achieved by incorporating term-structures of interest rates, volatility and dividend into the CEV option valuation model.

Abstract:

Purpose Drawing on the systems theory and the natural resource-based view, the purpose of this paper is to advance an integrated resource efficiency view (IREV) and derive a composite “integrated resource efficiency index” (IRE-index) for assessing the environmental, economic, and social resource efficiencies of production economies. Design/methodology/approach Using sub-national input-output data, the IRE-index builds on the human development index (HDI) and the OECD green growth indicators by including functions for environmental resource efficiency, energy, and material productivity. The study uses multiple regressions to examine and compare the IRE-index of 40 countries, including 34 OECD nations. The study further compares the IRE-index to similar composite indicators such as the human sustainable development index (HSDI) and the ecological footprint. Findings The IRE-index reveals a discrepancy between social development and resource efficiency in many of the world’s wealthiest production economies. Findings also show that material productivity has been the key driver for observed improvements in IRE over time. The index is a robust macro-level methodology for assessing resource efficiency and sustainability, with implications for production operations in global supply chains. Originality/value The IREV and IRE-index both contribute towards advancing green supply chain management and sustainability, and country-level resource efficiency accounting and reporting. The IRE-index is a useful composite for capturing aggregate environmental, economic, and social resource efficiencies of production economies. The paper clearly outlines the managerial, academic, and policy implications of the IREV and resulting index.

Abstract:

AbstractThe growing trend of desktop virtualisation has facilitated the reduction of management costs associated with traditional systems and access to services from devices with different capabilities. However, desktop virtualisation requires controlling the interactivity provided by an infrastructure and the quality of experience perceived by users. This paper proposes a methodology for the quantification of interactivity based on the measurement of the time elapsed between user interactions and the associated responses. Measurement error is controlled using a novel mechanism for the detection of screen changes, which can lead to erroneous measurements. Finally, a campus virtual desktop infrastructure and the Amazon WorkSpaces solution are analysed using this proposed methodology. The results demonstrate the importance of the location of virtualisation infrastructure and the types of protocols used by remote desktop services.

Abstract:

AbstractNutritional management of pigs to optimise growth demands pig-specific, time-specific and place-specific determination and provision of nutritional requirement. These elements need to be incorporated into response prediction models that operate in a real-time (not retrospective) closed-loop control environment. This implies appropriate means for the on-line measurement of response to change in nutrient provision, and the simultaneous means for manipulation of feeding level and feed quality. The paper describes how response prediction modelling and response measurement may now be achieved. Optimisation may be pursued with mixed objectives, including those of production efficiency and environmental protection.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to measure the accountability of village funds management in Kabupaten Bangka. In relation to the Village Funds program which is a government program, the measurement of accountability of Village Funds management uses accountability principles consisting of Transparency, Liability, Controlling, Responsibility and Responsiveness which are the principles of accountability developed by the United Nations Development Program in measuring bureaucratic accountability. This research is a qualitative research by taking data from several villages in Bangka Regency. As well as qualitative research, the data taken in this study using snowball sampling method, where researchers take data by conducting in-depth interviews until the data obtained until the condition is saturated, meaning there is a repetition of the same information at the time of data collection. The results of this study indicate that villages in Bangka Regency have met the accountability principles of 5 (five) starting from planning, implementation and reporting when measured from 5 (five) accountability principles consisting of Transparency, Obligation, Controlling, Responsibility and Responsiveness.

Abstract:

Blood pressure is one important risk factor for stroke prognosis. Therefore, continuous monitoring of blood pressure is crucial for preventing and predicting stroke. However, current blood pressure devices are mainly air-cuff based, which only can provide measurements intermittently. This study proposed a new blood pressure estimation method based on the pulse transit time to realize continuous monitoring. The proposed method integrated a linear model with a compensation algorithm. A calibration method was further developed to guarantee that the model was personalized for individuals. Variation and variability of pulse transit time were introduced to construct the compensation algorithm in the model. The proposed method was validated by the data collected from 30 healthy subjects, aged from 23 to 25 years old. By comparing the estimated value to the measurement from an oscillometry, the result showed that the mean error of the estimated blood pressure was-0.2±2.4 mmHg and0.5±3.9 mmHg for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respectively. In addition, the estimation performance of the proposed model is better than the linear model, especially for the diastolic blood pressure. The results indicate that the proposed method has promising potential to realize continuous blood pressure measurement.

Abstract:

This paper presents the theoretical basis of a novel redundancy management procedure developed for fault detection and isolation (FDI) in strategic processes such as spacecraft, aircraft, and nuclear plants where multiply-redundant measurements are available for individual variables. The set of redundant measurements may comprise both direct sensor outputs and analytically derived measurements. The redundancy management procedure presented in this paper is essentially independent of the fault detection strategy and measurement noise statistics, and builds upon the concept of partitioning the set of measurements into “consistent” and “inconsistent” subsets for purposes of estimation and fault isolation, respectively. The proposed procedure is suitable for real-time applications using commercially available microcomputers and its efficacy has been verified on-line in operating nuclear reactors.

Abstract:

Students’ ability to effectively allocate time toward educational tasks and reduction of maladaptive behaviors such as procrastination are important predictors of successful educational outcomes. The Academic Time Management and Procrastination Measure (ATMPM) purports to measure the extent to which students engage in such behaviors; however, the psychometric properties of the ATMPM have only been explored with exploratory techniques. In addition, the extent to which measurement invariance is supported among first-generation college students (FGCS) and non-FGCS is unknown. The purpose of the present study was to (1) examine the factor structure of the ATMPM within a college population by employing confirmatory factor analysis and to (2) investigate measurement invariance through an application of multiple group confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA). Results supported a three-factor solution (planning time, monitoring time, and procrastination), and invariance analyses supported full configural, metric, and scalar invariance.

Abstract:

The development of techniques to measure BMD enables individuals at high risk of osteoporotic fracture to be identified, and their response to treatment to be ascertained. Measurement of the spine and proximal femur by DXA is currently the gold standard technique, but peripheral skeletal measurements using QUS and x-ray based techniques are under evaluation. At the present time measurements should be targeted to individuals within high risk categories in whom knowledge of BMD may influence management. Further development of both diagnostic and therapeutic strategies will require modification of current practice in the future.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to highlight the fact that a common universal qualitative model of measurement is lacking in global productivity analysis. International quantitative comparisons of country macro-level measurements of productivity have been available in the world for decades. However, there has been no consensus on what exactly constitute the indicators and measures of productivity with a focus on quality. Design/methodology/approach – Through literature review and analysis, a new conceptual qualitative productivity measurement model is being suggested. This model could become the basis for future research undertakings in productivity studies. Findings – This paper finds that there are differences in the definitions of what constitute productivity at the global level and what measurements could be considered to make productivity studies more quantitative as well as qualitative at the same time. Originality/value – This paper aims to bring about further discussions for a general agreement on what factors constitute a more well-balanced qualitative as well as quantitative productivity measurement model.

Abstract:

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop an automated human body measurement extraction system using simple inexpensive equipment with minimum requirement of human assistance. This research further leads to the comparison of extracted measurements to established methods to analyze the error. The extracted measurements can be used to assist the production of custom-fit apparel. This is an effort to reduce the cost of expensive 3-D body scanners and to make the system available to the user at home.Design/methodology/approachA single camera body measurement system is proposed, implemented, and pilot tested. This system involves a personal computer and a webcam operating within a space of controlled lighting. The system will take two images of the user, extract body silhouettes, and perform measurement extraction. The camera is automatically calibrated using the software each time of scanning considering the scanning space. The user will select a front view and a side view among the images captured, and specify the height. In this pilot study, 31 subjects were recruited and the accuracy of 8 human body measurements were compared with the manual measurements and measurements extracted from a commercial 3-D body scanner.FindingsThe system achieved reasonable measurement performance within 10 percent accuracy for seven out of the eight measurements, while four out of eight parameters obtained a performance similar to the commercial scanner. It is proved that human body measurement extraction can be done using inexpensive equipment to obtain reasonable results.Originality/valueThis study is aimed at developing a proof-of-concept for inexpensive body scanning system, with an effort to benchmark measurement accuracy, available to an average user providing the ability to acquire self-body measurements to be used to purchase custom-fit apparel. This system can potentially boost the customization of apparel and revolutionize online shopping of custom-fit apparel.

Abstract:

In this study, water content measurements were carried out using a physical method using a capacitive sensor. Measurement with these two methods aims to get the most efficient method for tapioca flour's water content value. The samples used were six samples of tapioca flour from the way good factory. Each sample was measured using a thermogravimetric method and a capacitive sensor measuring instrument three times per sample. The measurement results produce a polynomial graph with a coefficient of determination of 0.9702. The graph shows that the higher the water content, the higher the value detected by the capacitive sensor. The thermogravimetric method used as a reference takes 6 hours to get results, and the physical method takes less than one minute. To compare measurements, measurements were made using the thermogravimetric method to measure the percentage of water content in tapioca flour. This study indicates that the physical measurement method with a capacitive sensor instrument requires a shorter time than the thermogravimetric method. And the higher the water content, the shorter the storage time.

Abstract:

Accurate traffic data acquisition is essential for effective traffic surveillance, which is the backbone of advanced transportation management and information systems (ATMIS). Inductive loop detectors (ILDs) are still widely used for traffic data collection in the United States and many other countries. Three fundamental traffic parameters—speed, volume, and occupancy—are obtainable via single or double (speed-trap) ILDs. Real-time knowledge of such traffic parameters typically is required for use in ATMIS from a single loop detector station, which is the most commonly used. However, vehicle speeds cannot be obtained directly. Hence, the ability to estimate vehicle speeds accurately from single loop detectors is of considerable interest. In addition, operating agencies report that conventional loop detectors are unable to achieve volume count accuracies of more than 90% to 95%. The improved derivation of fundamental real-time traffic parameters, such as speed, volume, occupancy, and vehicle class, from single loop detectors and inductive signatures is demonstrated.

Abstract:

In the realities of today, soft measurements and calculations are part of new information technologies, computer technology (sixth generation). The branch of soft computing represents the direction of soft measurements. It should be noted that the information technologies of the components in this branch are implemented according to the principle of unity of measurement processes (with metrological support of solutions). The consequence of this is the possibility of applying the advantages of soft computing to a new direction of soft measurements. This advantage may be the speed of processing or a variety of forms of presentation of results. The application of these advantages is aimed at improving the measurement result in the process of its implementation. The areas of application for soft computing systems are becoming wider, the computing power is increasing, and for the first time we are also able to purposefully assess the quality of the result obtained and regulate it.

Abstract:

The examination of tourists’ experiences is an essential subject in tourism scholarship. This study presents novel methods by which spatio-temporal data can be combined with physiological measures of emotion and semantic contextual information in order to obtain a comprehensive and integrative understanding of tourists’ experience in time and space. Four data collection techniques were combined and applied to a sample of 68 tourists in Jerusalem: high-resolution locational data, real-time surveying techniques using the experience sampling method, physiological measures of emotion (electrodermal activity), and traditional surveying techniques. We present methods for using these techniques in exploring data on the individual level, comparing pairs of individuals, and examining a sample, providing insight both on the individual’s personal experience and, more broadly, on the emotional characteristics of locations and tourist attractions in a city. Theoretical and methodological implications as well as the limitations of these techniques are discussed.

Abstract:

Track engineers face increasing cost pressure and budget restrictions in their work today. This leads to growing difficulty in legitimizing crucial maintenance and renewal measures. As a result, infrastructure managers must ensure they invest all available financial resources as sustainably and efficiently as possible. These boundary conditions require an objective tool enabling both a component-specific condition evaluation and preventive maintenance with renewal planning. The present research introduces such a tool for railway tracks based on innovative track data analyses. This tool includes time-series analyses for predicting future quality behavior. Consequently, the technical necessity of maintenance actions can be derived for every specific track section. In addition, these technical evaluations are combined with economic and operational considerations to plan reasonable maintenance lengths for different track components in the next few years. In a further step, business evaluations by means of annuity monitoring are executed to determine whether ongoing track maintenance or complete track renewal is the most economical solution. This methodology also allows calculating the economic damage caused by neglecting the ideal point in time for reinvestment. On the basis of this economic damage, it is possible to rank projects by priority in the case of insufficient budgets and to ensure that all available resources are invested in the most reasonable manner possible. Furthermore, such analyses clearly show that when a specific degradation level of railway track is reached track renewal is more economic in relation to life-cycle costs than ongoing maintenance.

Full text

Abstract:

Inventory management systems and dynamic reliability measures and controls remain challenging at every stage, especially when time variances and operating conditions are considered. An inventory management system must maintain its adeptness over time while coping with the uncertainty of inventory flow. Unexpected delays during inventory movement can harm the reliability and robustness of the entire system. This paper introduces a method of quantifying the reliability of an inventory management system. Also, a novel, reliability-based robust design optimization model has been developed to optimally allocate and schedule time while considering uncertainty associated with inventory movement. The processes involved include purchasing, shipping, receiving, tracking, warehousing, storage, and turnover. A case study of a furniture company in Saudi Arabia is presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the model.
