The paper reports the results of a survey investigating the practices of idea management in Slovenian companies. Idea management is a formalized mechanism for the creation of inventions and their transformation into innovations in the widest range of employees – nonprofessional inventors, as a...

Разработана модель материального потока производственной системы с учетом случайных производственных потерь, представляющих собой распределенный случайный...

Scheduling manufacturing operations is a complicated decision making process. From the computational point of view, the scheduling problem is one of the most notoriously intractable NP-hard optimization problems. When the manufacturing system is not too large, the traditional methods for solving...

Every manufacturing company is a system of individual manufacturing units, which have to be carefully laid out taking into account time, space, technology, and organisation perspective in order to deliver maximum final product. In order to secure absolute effective and efficient functionality of...

The paper highlights the problem of mathematical modeling of a complex manufacturing system which is a potential synthetic representation of a real production environment. Production lines are parallel. Each production line consists of work stations which are placed serially along the...

The model of material stream of the production system is developed taking into account the stochastic production losses that represent by itself the distributed stochastic process with the correlation function of type of \"white noise\" and function that has seasonal vibrations.

Green and cloud computing (G-cloud) are new trends in all areas of computing. The G-cloud provides an efficient function, which enables users to access their programs, systems and platforms at anytime and anyplace. Green computing can also yield greener technology by reducing power consumption...

Traditionally, manufacturing enterprises pay flat rates for each kiloWatt-hour (kWh) of electricity consumed. Newly available electric tariffs that charge both energy consumption (in kWh) and peak demand (in kiloWatts, i.e., kW) with varying time-of-use (TOU) rates have started to gain...

Die Studie erörtert Chancen und Risiken, die mit der Anwendung der Unternehmensführungsstrategie CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) verbunden sind. Eine Vielzahl an Gefahren in CSR-aktiven Unternehmen - darunter das Risiko des Greenwashings - werden identifiziert, systematisiert und...
