CNC Machine Shop Floor Facility Layout Design Using Genetic Algorithm

Abstract: The facility layout is a well-planned process to assimilate equipment, human resources, and materials for processing a product most effectively The facility layout problem (FLP) is an optimization problem that involves determining the shape and location of various departments within a facility, based on the inter-department distance and volume measures CRAFT algorithm is one of the primary methods currently used for the optimization of facility layouts The aim of this is analyzing and assessing various proposed layouts through this algorithm The objective is to minimize the total layout cost It depends on the material flow and distance between the departments An attempt has also been made to optimize the layout through GA

Comprehensive Information Security Awareness (CISA) in Security Incident Management (SIM): A Conceptualization

Abstract: Information security incidents are a major concern for organizations today, and the prevention and mitigation of such incidents are essential for business survival and smooth functioning. Organizations implement a security incident management process to detect and mitigate security incidents. Despite an organization’s investment and efforts to prevent security incidents, its occurrences have increased over the years, signaling limitations in the existing process. We posit that the limitations may be due to the lack of a comprehensive awareness of threats by security professionals. To this effect, we define and conceptualize Comprehensive Information Security Awareness (CISA) as comprising of three elements, namely: security, system, and situational awareness. We leverage the knowledge, skills, and abilities-based approach in NIST-SP-800-16 and security awareness concepts from the literature for conceptualizing CISA. We discuss the effects of CISA on threat management tasks in the context of security incident management.

Channel Distribution Performance in Cold Chain Management: A Comparative Scenario Between Two States of India

Abstract: This paper attempted to study the performance of channel distribution in cold storage operations and inter-alia issues in an attempt to give new insights into cold storage operations. An exploratory study was carried out by interviewing, interacting, and sharing of experiences by as many as 64 cold storage operators spanning from various districts of Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. The comparison of operations of cold storage in these two states brought forth that channel distribution plays an important role in maintaining and delivery of perishable products from cold storage to retail markets. The study is expected to assist in creating insights on issues relevant to the involvement of channel intermediaries in cold storage operations.

Testing for the Feldstein-Horioka hypothesis in Asia using wavelet analysis

Abstract: We investigate the Feldstein-Horioka (1980) puzzle using a novel time-frequency approach. The wavelet-based retention and correlation coefficients are estimated for a cross-section of 15 Asian countries over the period 1972–2016. The countries are grouped as OCED countries (Japan and South Korea), least developed countries (like Bangladesh and Nepal), the large countries (like India and China), and the small countries (like Sri Lanka and Pakistan). Our approach reveals some interesting insights on the relationship between investment and saving rates and investment and current account deficits.
