This research employs an integrated fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach in which the fuzzy-analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) method determines criteria weights and the fuzzy-technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution (FTOPSIS) method ranks the organizations. Five qualitative criteria are selected from the extant literature, which encompass both environmental, operational, and economic aspects of sustainability. Data is collected by developing a questionnaire, establishing a decision-makers’ committee, and carrying out a survey. To illustrate the industrial application of the proposed model, this study considers a real-world case study in the Indian manufacturing sector, in which three organizations (Organization A, Organization B, and Organization C) are selected from three distinct industrial segments, namely the leather industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and the steel industry, respectively. The result reveals that the environmental impact of harmful substances released from production is the most influential parameter. The result also reveals that Organization C is the benchmark organization and its strategies can guide other organizations for GSCM performance improvement. Moreover, the proposed model is capable of handling vagueness and ambiguity in decisions.","PeriodicalId":46578,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management","volume":"18 1","pages":"1 - 15"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43870155","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}

Specifically, the problem is modelled using mixed-integer nonlinear programming to maximize the retailer’s total profit on an infinite planning horizon. Several assumptions are made to formulate the problem: i) the demand is considered a multivariate function of freshness, selling price, displayed inventory level, and advertisement frequency; ii) the holding cost of inventory increases linearly as the product ages; iii) the ending inventory is not necessarily zero. A search algorithm is proposed to solve this problem. The impact of each parameter on the optimal solution is investigated using sensitivity analysis. The advertising frequency determined via this model is an optimal compromise between advertising costs and yield. This model can be applied to reduce perishable food waste and meet the rising demand for fresh food.","PeriodicalId":46578,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49645674","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}

Back-logging of inventory is widespread in numerous businesses, including manufacturing, airline, spare part service, and retail industries. This paper develops a control-theoretical method, Smith predictor, for continuous review inventory systems for perishable items with backordering and multi-supplier supply chain. The proposed model aims to respond quickly to market demand changes and generates different orders to smooth and reduce the bullwhip effect in a reasonable time. This modified control theory eases the flow of information in inventory systems. Finally, the block diagram is used to simulate a three-echelon supply chain for perishable products where backorder is allowed. The proposed model is examined and verified using Normal, Exponential, and Gamma distribution demands in MATLAB’s Simulink. The results illustrate that the proposed model is consistent with the Exponential distribution.","PeriodicalId":46578,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46544847","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}

AlBawardi","doi":"10.36647/ijsem/09.10.a012","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36647/ijsem/09.10.a012","url":null,"abstract":"In March 2021, the Saudi Arabian Council of Ministers issued a decision to form a committee called the “Higher Committee for Research, Development and Innovation,” a committee linked to the Council of Economic and Development Affairs, chaired by the Chairman of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs, and concerned with the development of the research, development and innovation sector in the Kingdom. In order to talk about the dimensions of this wonderful step, let us first try to answer the following questions... Is there a difference between Creativity and Innovation...? How do they enable Entrepreneurship...? What are the factors of creativity in the individual.. Are they mental genetic factors.. or are they factors that an individual acquires through learning...? The methodology included surveys that have been conducted on more than 300 individuals, males and females, between the ages of 18 till 60. And the answer is.. “Creativity” is the creation of a new idea, while “Innovation” is the development of an already existing idea in a new, successful way. They are two sides of the same coin, as the “creative idea” needs to be developed and transformed into an “innovation” in order to achieve either strategic achievements at the level of countries and institutions to enhance organizational intelligence, or achievements at the level of individuals. For example, the beginning of smart phones was just a creative idea from IBM in 1994, but the actual successful innovation for the manufacture, development and marketing of these phones was through Apple later. Nor does creativity have to be hereditary. There are three basic factors for creativity: The first factor is “the presence of a challenge or an obstacle” that the individual faces and seeks thinking to find solutions to overcome, even if thinking requires a long time. The second factor is the “environment surrounding” of the individual, which includes science, training, experience gained, the ability to use techniques, as well as the ability to assess whether he idea is feasible or otherwise. To achieve this factor, the individual must be aware of own skills, strengths, hobbies, and aspects in which one can be creative, and the individual must also be self-confident and courageous enough to suggest those new ideas. The third factor is “Experience and the Ability to Accept Risk and Lack of Initial Success,” and then learn from mistakes and try again tirelessly. There are some tools and techniques that help the entrepreneurship/individual to reach creative and innovative ideas, such as: Mind Maps tool, through which the available information is drawn by writing a short word for each piece of information and arranging all other relevant information through clear lines, which helps in logical thinking and correct vision. There is also a tool called \"Flow Charts\", which are graphics that show the sequence of data and expected results according to an ordered scenario of events and workflow ste","PeriodicalId":46578,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88696928","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 oligopolistic nature of this industry in Bangladesh offers a fascinating prospect to study. Bangladesh positioned 5th in Asia Pacific Region and 8th globally in terms of market size for the inimitable mobile subscriber. The mobile telecommunication industry contributed GDP is 1.8% of the country through their voice call and internet. The mobile telecommunication industry is in gush for the increasing demand of smartphone as time progress. This industry is also contributing 30% job opportunities in the country. The aim of this paper is to highlight the main governance related challenges being faced by the companies operating in this industry. The data were mainly collected by captivating interviews with the company CEO, Company Secretary, Internal Audit Head, External Audit, Independent Directors and BTRC Chairman. Also, some secondary data were collected from company websites, annual reports, other related publicly available documents. The pragmatic evidence discovered area specific governance challenges such as lack of formal training for the board members, absence of cyber security introduction, no presence of institute directors of Bangladesh, lack of in-house program, absence of robust succession planning, lack of formal compliance and ethics programs in-house and industry level etc. Also, the various sub-committees (i.e. audit committee, nomination committee, remuneration committee etc.) were found ineffective to some extent. The study proposed some recommendations to overcome these lacking. The findings to the study are expected to have significant policy implication in reforming the corporate governance regulations in Bangladesh and Mobile Telecommunication industry in particular.","PeriodicalId":46578,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88223607","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 synthesis of nanoparticles by the use of biological methods have reached a colossal signification above physical and chemical procedures, this is due to the use of innocuous, biocompatible, and ecologically-sound substrates and remarkably uncomplicated synthetic processes at encompassing conditions. In this research, the synthesis, characterization and the determination of the antibacterial activity of Zinc oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) was ascertained using stem bark extract of Ficus thonningii (Blume) as a stabilizing agent. However, the anti-diabetic activity and some biochemical changes caused by the synthesized ZnO NPs on alloxan-induced diabetic Wistar Rats were also determined. ZnO NPs were synthesized using biological method at different concentrations of ZnO solution (1mM, 2mM, 3mM and 4mM), these NPs were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR and SEM. Wistar rats weight 185 ± 5g were grouped into nine (9) groups (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and I). Group A served as normal control which was given only feed and water, group B, C, D and E, were induce and treated with 1mM, 2mM, 3mM and 4mM ZnONPs respectively, then F and G were induced and treated with aqueous extract and ethanolic extract while H was induced and treated with Glibenclamide (standard drug for diabetes) by gavage method and finally I was induced and untreated which served as diabetic control. The results showed that ZnO NPs were synthesized with the indication of the change in colour from yellow to dark brown colour. The UV-visible spectroscopy was taken at range between 200nm to 700nm which displayed different peaks at the range of 209nm to 383nm. However, the FTIR showed the existence of various functional groups such as C=C stretch, C≡C stretch and Alcohol OH stretch representing the bioactive compounds such as phenol, amine and many others. The Nanoparticles were analyzed with SEM to examine the morphology of the Nanoparticles. The diabetic induced rats revealed significant decrease in fasting blood glucose after treatment compared with the diabetic untreated rats, the doses were effective when compared with Glibenclamide treated rats. The levels of serum Alkaline phosphatase, Alanine Amino transferase, Albumin, Globulin, Bilirubin, Total Protein, Urea, Creatinine and Electrolytes concentrations displayed no significant increase relative to diabetic control (p < 0.05; n ≥ 5).","PeriodicalId":46578,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84862825","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}
