Carbon Emissions Policies and its Impact on the Design of Supply Chains
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Carbon emission is a concern across the industry due to its environmental impact. In order to reduce carbon emissions, industry have to look not only at their processes but also in the generation of emissions in the whole ...
A Multi-echelon Network Distribution Model For Emergency Resource Planning
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Resource planning in emergency management is a challenging task as it involves disaster situations where the demands are rapidly increasing and the resources are scarce. Conventional planning involves a centralized network ...
Stakeholders' roles in virtual project environment: A case study
(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
The rising cost of resources within an organization, increasing capability of information technology, the need to conduct project at different places and availability of competent and inexpensive manpower elsewhere have ...
A model for planning locations of temporary distribution facilities for emergency response
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
We propose a network flow model for dynamic selection of temporary distribution facilities and allocation of resources for emergency response planning. The model analyzes the transfer of excess resources between temporary ...
Key performance indicators (KPIs) for evaluation of energy conservation in buildings
(
