The prime factors, namely population size, percentage of urbanization, percentage of agricultural land, and average years of schooling, were used in the analysis. The research further examines the existing policies that regulate carbon emission in EU states. The analysis covers 25 EU member countries for the years from 2000 till 2019. The relationship between the prime factors and CO2 emissions were identified using a simple linear regression model, confirming the significance of this relation. The strength of these relations was numerically measured using a clustered analysis. The results indicate that a negative impact on CO2 emission was found in relation to the increase in population and urbanization based on the survival requirements and sustainability in social and urban settings. The effect of the factor “average years of schooling” on CO2 emission is relatively negligible when compared to the other chosen factors. The findings provide sufficient information to develop and support suggestions for enhancing the available policies in EU member states.","PeriodicalId":306461,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 7th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Applications (ICIEA)","volume":"112 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120916361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper applies compact storage strategy to traditional parts-to-picker storage system. We develop a semi-open queuing network model (SOQN) to analyze the RMFS with multiple deep layout. The performance indicators such as system throughput and robot utilization are obtained. Our work can provide valuable suggestions for designing compact RMFS, such as which kind of layout (n× m) of block benefits for throughput, how many robots and workstations are required to reach the given throughput under the limited warehouse area and so on.","PeriodicalId":306461,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 7th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Applications (ICIEA)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115783778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An iron wire with a diameter of 1mm and purity of 99.9% was used as the electrode materials, and deionized water (DW) was used as the dielectric liquid. This preparation process was simple and did not require chemical additives. This study used different pulse discharge cycles $(mathrm{T}_{mathrm{on}}:mathrm{T}_{mathrm{o}mathrm{f}mathrm{f}})$ to prepare nanoiron colloid for the purpose of exploring the optimal $mathrm{T}_{mathrm{on}}:mathrm{T}_{mathrm{off}}$ parameters for the preparation of nanoiron colloid. The particle size distribution and the zeta potential of the prepared nanoiron colloid were tested by a Zetasizer to analyze the particle size distribution and suspension ability. According to the test results, when the pulse discharge cycle $mathrm{T}_{mathrm{on}}:mathrm{T}_{mathrm{off}}$ was $10:40mu mathrm{s}$, the prepared nanoiron colloid had a size of 56.49nm and a zeta potential of 45.6mV, which indicates small particle size and optimal suspension stability. Therefore, $10:40mu mathrm{s}$ was the optimal preparation parameter. Finally, the optical properties, crystal structure, and hysteresis curve of the nanoiron colloid were analyzed by UV -Vis, XRD, and VSM.","PeriodicalId":306461,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 7th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Applications (ICIEA)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131535680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The literatures have reviewed on the suitability of cross-dock and organizational structure, yet only few have identified the common attributes or they only focused on one aspect of organizational characteristics. This paper pertains to the study of organizational characteristics for cross-docking adoption. A total of 300 questionnaires were collected from different firms in central Thailand. Based on the descriptive analysis, the results showed that cross-dock is widely used in different industries such as retailing, food and drug and textiles. The predominant goods that go through cross-dock are not just only finished products but also raw material. Types of industry and inventory were found to have a significant impact on the choices of cross-dock, while size of organization and automation level showed no influence on the selection of distribution operations.","PeriodicalId":306461,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 7th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Applications (ICIEA)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133761169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
