Controlling and determining of inventory is an important thing in order to produce efficiently and able to make smooth sales. The purpose of this research is to know an analysis of controlling raw material inventoriesin the manufacture of brick by using Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method to increase efficiency of the total inventory costin Stan Kayu Sinar Sowi. The raw material of brick is rough sand and cements.
 Type of case study research through a qualitative approach by means of interviews, observation and documentation. Case study on a wood booth business in Manokwari, West Papua.

Use of fiber-section beam elements for modelling the monotonic flexural response of RC jacketed columns
2021
Abstract The use of reinforced concrete (RC) jacketing is a common technique for retrofitting existing RC columns with poor structural performances. Literature studies highlighted that the relative slip occurring at the interface between the new and the old concrete can affect substantially the flexibility and the strength of the retrofitted member. For this reason, several interface treatments are usually applied, aiming to induce a monolithic behaviour to the column. However, despite the commonness of RC jacketing, a limited number of studies investigated numerical modelling strategies for including these phenomena, especially with reference to the development of numerical models for desi…
Reed canary grass transportation costs – Reducing costs and increasing feasible transportation distances
2009
Abstract Reed canary grass is used in several heat and power plants in Finland and it is estimated that about 70–80 plants could utilise reed canary grass as a co-firing fuel. Long-distance transport of reed canary grass forms a significant share of the production and delivery costs. Reed canary grass can be transported in bales or as loose matter. The density of the matter and shape of the bales influence the load-size and the cost. At present it is impossible to obtain the full load-bearing capacity of a lorry even with bales, and with light bulk matter the obtainable load is less than one-third of the load-bearing capacity of a lorry. By using Orkel local-baler it has been possible to ob…
Buckling and post-buckling analysis of cracked composite plates via a single-domain Ritz approach
2018
Thin and moderately thick composite multi-layered plates are widely employed in many engineering applications, especially in naval and aerospace structures. These structural components can experience in service the presence of cracks, generated for example by corrosion, fatigue or accidental external causes. Cracks can affect the load carrying capability, buckling and post-buckling behaviour of plates; therefore, their effects need to be investigated and taken into account for fail safe or damage tolerant design. Additionally, attention should be devoted to the interaction of cracks with buckling and post-buckling behaviour, as the energy release rate in post-buckling regimes can be adverse…
L’autonomia di spesa delle Regioni fra Stato ed Unione europea dalla l. cost. 3/2001 alle condizionalità europee sulla ripresa e la resilienza
2021
L'articolo ricostruisce la tendenza all’accentramento nel governo delle finanze pubbliche e l’eccessiva distanza fra testo costituzionale e diritto costituzionale vivente per analizzare l'attuazione del Recovery Plan (PNRR) rilevando un ulteriore tendenza all’accentramento del governo della spesa. Si indagano dunque le ragioni della compressione dell’autonomia finanziaria di spesa per effetto del principio di indifferenza e del “doppio intreccio federale”. Si mira a inquadrare il tema alla luce della leale collaborazione e dellala resilienza istituzionale per accorciare la “distanza” fra testo costituzionale ed attuazione costituzionale in tema di autonomia di spesa delle Regioni. Si prospe…
Cancer screening and health system resilience: Keys to protecting and bolstering preventive services during a financial crisis
2012
The aim of this paper is to elucidate the rationale for sustaining and expanding cost-effective, population-based screening services for breast, cervical and colorectal cancers in the context of the current financial crisis. Our objective is not only to promote optimal delivery of high-quality secondary cancer prevention services, but also to underline the importance of strengthening comprehensive cancer control, and with it, health system response to the complex care challenges posed by all chronic diseases. We focus primarily on issues surrounding planning, organisation, implementation and resources, arguing that given the growing cancer burden, policymakers have ample justification for e…
Spatial analysis techniques for mapping the annual surface runoff in Sicily under the Budyko’s framework
2016
This work shows a new approach, based on the Budyko framework, for mapping the mean annual surface runoff and deriving the probability distribution of the annual runoff in arid and semi-arid watersheds. We analytically provide the annual runoff distribution as the derived distribution of annual rainfall and potential evapotranspiration. The simulated long-term annual runoff and its distribution have been compared with historical records at several gauged stations, obtaining satisfactory matching.
Novel fuzzy-based optimization approaches for the prediction of ultimate axial load of circular concrete-filled steel tubes
2021
An accurate estimation of the axial compression capacity of the concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column is crucial for ensuring the safety of structures containing them and preventing related failures. In this article, two novel hybrid fuzzy systems (FS) were used to create a new framework for estimating the axial compression capacity of circular CCFST columns. In the hybrid models, differential evolution (DE) and firefly algorithm (FFA) techniques are employed in order to obtain the optimal membership functions of the base FS model. To train the models with the new hybrid techniques, i.e., FS-DE and FS-FFA, a substantial library of 410 experimental tests was compiled from openly availa…
MANUTENZIONE DELL’AMBIENTE COSTRUITO: QUANTO RESTA DELLA NOTTE?
2021
Confrontando la manutenzione dell’ambiente costruito con la stessa attività riferita, in genere, ai prodotti manifatturieri, importanti caratteristiche specifiche emergono, sia nelle tecnologie di processo che di prodotto. Infatti, per le costruzioni lo stretto legame tra manutenzione e qualità acquisisce, in più, notevoli implicazioni di ordine sociale e collettivo, sia se applicata a edifici e spazi pubblici, sia se riferita all’edilizia residenziale privata. Nonostante ciò, tenendo conto della tendenza al “constructuring” che sembra indirizzare il futuro dell’edilizia sotto gli influssi della digitalizzazione, è ugualmente utile tener presente gli avanzamenti nel campo della manutenzione…
