Under such circumstances, it is necessary for enterprises to explore sustainable development path. Clothing enterprises are no exception. As early as 2002, H&M began to invest in research and development in the field of environmental protection raw materials and began to explore a new mode of green production of clothing. Until now, H&M has become a typical representative to successfully promote green marketing. However, there are still some problems in the green marketing strategy of China's garment enterprises. Taking H&M as an example, this paper explores the green marketing strategies of the clothing industry from different perspectives. While analyzing the influence of H&M on green marketing, it also puts forward corresponding Suggestions for promoting green marketing in China's clothing industry according to the green marketing strategies of H&M and the development status of China's clothing industry.","PeriodicalId":312704,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 International Conference on Management Science and Industrial Engineering - MSIE 2019","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123213995","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}

In the early stage of complex product development, some manufacturers are at a disadvantage in supply chain quality coordination management due to the influence of technology, market and status in the industry. This study firstly analyzes four dilemmas disadvantaged manufacturers may be in. On this basis, to reverse the disadvantaged situation, strategy suggestions are proposed for manufacturers from the following four aspects: (1) Optimize benefits distribution. (2) Unify quality standards and establish supply chain quality control system. (3) Set up supply chain quality control platform and resolve quality conflict. (4) Construct supply chain quality culture.","PeriodicalId":312704,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 International Conference on Management Science and Industrial Engineering - MSIE 2019","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121624434","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}

In a sample hospital, food delivery error occupied 37.4% which was the highest complaint among all problems in 2017. This problem has never been investigated for its root causes and there has been no measures established against it. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate for the causes of the discrepancies in the food service provided for the inpatients.\u0000 Root causes of the inpatient food delivery error are identified by triangulation of quantitative data by survey & complaint analysis and qualitative data by focus group. The first set consists of questionnaire responded by nutrition unit staff, experts in food service and hospital directors, in total of 71 respondents. The questionnaire was modelled after the four types of medication errors[1], [2]. The second set was the review of the food service error from inpatient complaint files recorded during January-December 2017. The third set was focus group interview among 71 hospital staff. The service blueprint was used in search of the pain points.\u0000 The three methods showed consensus results. Both survey and complaint results revealed that the error were caused by 1) transcribing (61.3%, 54.3%) 2) administration error (25.8%, 32.6%) 3) dispensing error (10.1%, 10.9%) 4) prescription error (2.7%, 2.2%). Furthermore, the survey of the relation between the means of importance and the actual performance in each process revealed that transcribing error and administration error were the root causes at 95% confidence level. In addition, focus group interview with the 71 hospital staff confirms the finding. Transcribing error included miscommunication and data transference across the departments. Administration error arises during the delivery process. Dispensing error occurred in the food preparation and food trays, for example, wrong delivery. Lastly, prescription error was caused by the doctors who were in charge of ordering the patient's dietary requirements. Next, the authors conducted in-depth case study analysis by using service blueprint with 217 food delivery case studies. We found that the root cause was the operation of data transference across the departments. Results from this paper urge the need for process innovation in assuring quality of patient food delivery.","PeriodicalId":312704,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 International Conference on Management Science and Industrial Engineering - MSIE 2019","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124017979","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}

Machining performance is evaluated in purview of material removal efficiency. Morphology and topographical features of the machined surface produced by using transformer oil (as dielectrics) are studied. Surface topographic studies include surface roughness, material migration, phase analysis as well as immigration of foreign elements. It is observed that as compared to EDM oil, transformer oil offers higher material removal rate and superior surface finish. It is also observed that increase in peak current causes increased material removal rate, surface roughness, surface crack density and white layer thickness.","PeriodicalId":312704,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 International Conference on Management Science and Industrial Engineering - MSIE 2019","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125973377","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 primal cause of the CRP is the containers discordant storage permutation in each stack with the arrival orders of outside trucks. This paper, from the customer perspective, expounds a methodology for mining the synchronization of retrieval processes between customers (Syn-RPC) along with a formulation to measure the level of the Syn-RPC, called the Synchronicity Index of Retrieval Processes between Customers (SynI-RPC). On the basis of SynI-RPC, an optimizing scheme is put forward, which involves three phases -- (1) grouping with SynI-RPC, (2) yard block allocation problem (BAP), and (3) slot allocation problem (SAP). In addition, a retrieval order estimation approach for the import containers is developed for applying to the SAP, called Frequency Difference in Different Episodes of Retrieval Time Window (FD/RTW). Computational experiments validate the novel strategy effectiveness and efficiency on abatement of the expected number of reshuffles.","PeriodicalId":312704,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 International Conference on Management Science and Industrial Engineering - MSIE 2019","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123628935","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}

Forecasting spare parts demand has its own challenges because in general spare parts demand is characterized by high variation in its demand size and in its inter-demand interval. In this paper, a forecasting approach to deal with spare parts demand is proposed. The proposed approach utilized stacked generalization technique to combine traditional time series forecasting method and machine learning method into a single ensemble. To test its performance, a case study in a natural gas liquefaction company is provided in this paper. In the case study, the proposed approach is utilized to forecast the monthly demand of spare parts used for maintenance operations. To compare its performance, several traditional time series forecasting methods (including Moving Average, Single Exponential Smoothing, Croston's method, Syntetos-Boylan Approximation, and Teunter-Syntetos-Babai) and several machine learning methods (including Linear Regression, Elastic Net, Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, and Random Forests) are also used in the case study.

SMARC, abbreviations for synchronized monitoring analysis recording care, is a software system associated with eight equipment developed by PMHC Co., Ltd. (Preventive Medical Health Care Co., Ltd.). Healthy people can perform certain functional movement patterns so that injuries to the body in daily life can be minimized. Sub-healthy people, suffering from shoulder neck syndrome, lower back pain, metabolic syndrome, et al., can improve their functional movement capacity and relief various syndrome via SMARC series products. However, after the assessment by SMARC, people need to be encouraged by knowing how they performed relatively to people with the same gender among similar age group. Like physical age displayed on weighing scale, this information encourages people to pay more attention to their physical fitness and increases their willingness in participating subsequent training program. In this study, we constructed five norm curves, for woman and man respectively, on overall score, upper body functional capacity, core functional capacity, lower body functional capacity, and whole body coordination and agility. A total of 337 adults are evaluated, in which 175 working on university campus while others working elsewhere. Ages range from 17 to 72, and approximately 35% are male.
