One of the main reported problems in petrochemical applications of Linear Programming-Dynamic Matrix Control (LP-DMC) type controllers is their global performance assessment. Since the stationary optimization and dynamic ...

This article presents a literature review on performance measurement and indicators, addressing the general aspects of this area of knowledge and contextualizing it for the water supply sector, including international ...

To analyze the performance of a vertical tube reactor involving a gas-slurry reacting system in dispersed bubble flow and upflow, downflow, and upflow-downflow (alternating) configurations, several performance indicators ...

Software development process requires judicious quality control, using performance indicators to support decision-making in the different processes chains. This paper recommends the use of machine learning with the semi ...

The efficiency of a production system is characterized by its ability to produce more with fewer resources. In this sense new strategies for inventory management emerge, to minimize the impact of this factor in the results ...

In this paper, a multi-objective approach for observing the performance of distribution systems with embedded generators in the steady state, based on heuristic and power system analysis, is proposed. The proposed hybrid ...

This study examines how the adoption of green supply chain management (GSCM) practices, including green sources, affects environmental and operational performance indicators. A multiple-case study was conducted using large ...

This study appoaches the issue of the performance evaluation of the horizontal nets supported by The Cooperation Networks Program, in the Rio Grande do Sul State, that has been consolidating as national reference in the ...
