Supply Chain Management (SCM) bedeutet, die Logistikkette ganzheitlich zu betrachten und zu optimieren, also hochproduktive Logistikstrukturen in Beschaffung, Produktion und Distribution zu schaffen. SCM hat zum Ziel, die Kosten und Durchlaufzeiten in der Lieferkette zu senken sowie die Lieferperformance und Kundenzufriedenheit zu erhoehen. Dies erfordert die optimierte Zusammenarbeit in der Wertschoepfungskette mit einem durchgangigen Informationsfluss sowie effiziente interne und externe Logis...
Critical Infrastructures at Risk (Topics in Safety, Risk, Reliability and Quality, #9)
by A.V. Gheorghe, M. Masera, M. Weijnen, and L.J. De Vries
Europe witnessed in the last years a number of significant power contingencies. Some of them revealed the potentiality of vast impact on the welfare of society and triggered pressing questions on the reliability of electric power systems. Society has incorporated electricity as an inherent component, indispensable for achieving the expected level of quality of life. Therefore, any impingement on the continuity of the electricity service would be able to distress society as a whole, affecting ind...

Analysis, Modeling and Stability of Fractional Order Differential Systems 2
by Jean-Claude Trigeassou and Nezha Maamri
This book introduces an original fractional calculus methodology (the infinite state approach) which is applied to the modeling of fractional order differential equations (FDEs) and systems (FDSs). Its modeling is based on the frequency distributed fractional integrator, while the resulting model corresponds to an integer order and infinite dimension state space representation. This original modeling allows the theoretical concepts of integer order systems to be generalized to fractional systems...
