Unprejudiced Strategic Suppliers Selection and Inspection: An Automated Industrial Approach

Prithwiraj Jana — 2024-06-30

The world is changing rapidly to global automated marketplaces. As a result, the environment forces companies to make accurate decisions and considerations simultaneously. The relationship between the supplier and the company has been developed for a long time, so selecting the supplier is a significant task. This study highlighted one of the major concerns in the field of industrial engineering and quality management in the automated selection and inspection domain. This study also determines the unprejudiced selection accuracy and defect rate for present & future inspection, respectively, in supplier evaluation of the industry. Analyze the decision about future inspection 100% or not, on the basis of inspection cost during the examination and decision-making activity. After the supplier selection process, the next step is to check the supplier's efficiency, so inspection is implemented. Two models are dealt with in this paper: automated selection and the implementation of inspection.

Towards the Unraveling of Zombie Effect in the Linux Kernel

Shekh Abdullah-Al-Musa Ahmed — 2024-06-30

A zombie process is a type of process that has completed its execution but still has an entry in the process table. Zombie processes are typically created when a child process terminates, but its parent process fails to collect its termination status. Now that the fork () has created a new process, it duplicates the calling process. The new process is referred to as the child process. The calling process is referred to as the parent process. The child and parent processes are to run in separate memory spaces. Both memory spaces have the same content at the time of fork (). Whenever in Linux, a process is an instance of executing a program or command. While these processes exist, they will be in one of the five possible states, such as Running or Runnable (R), Uninterruptible Sleep (D), or Interruptable Sleep (S). Another process (the parent process) creates a child computing process. This technique pertains to multitasking operating systems and is sometimes called a subprocess or, traditionally, a subtask. Hence, there are five Linux process states. Such as running & runnable, interruptable sleep, uninterruptable sleep, stopped, and zombie. Each of these processes exists for a very well-defined reason. After all, a zombie process in Linux is a terminated child process that remains in the system's process table while waiting for its parent process to collect its exit status. A zombie process is a type of process that has completed its execution but still has an entry in the process table. As a result, if too many zombie processes are generated, the process table will be full. That is, the system will not be able to generate any new process, then the system will come to a standstill.

Integrating Traditional Chinese Embroidery into Modern Clothing Design: A Sustainable Approach

Yaqian Zhang — 2024-06-30

The fashion industry increasingly prioritizes sustainability and environmental responsibility while emphasizing cultural heritage conservation. Designers blend style with mindful practices to reduce ecological impacts and preserve traditional craftsmanship. Sustainability is quickly replacing fashion, simply reducing or mitigating the negative environmental impact while focusing on culture. Traditional Chinese embroidery, noted for its long history and intricate craft, allows us to combine the areas of cultural and environmental sustainability through contemporary fashion design. The current research paper explores the area of traditional Chinese embroidery in contemporary garment design, which would allow for cultural and ecological sustainability. Content analysis of contemporary fashion with traditional motifs is part of the research. The combination of traditional embroidery and modern design serves as a part of the cultural heritage and teaches sustainable practices in fashion.

Lane Widening for Maintenance Sustainable Road Performance in Archipelago: A Bibliometric Analysis

Andri Irfan Rifai — 2024-06-30

This bibliometric study analyzes global research on the impact of lane widening for maintaining road performance in archipelagic regions sustainably, covering the period from 2000 to 2023. The research was collected using the Publish or Perish application and processed in the Research Information Systems (RIS) format through the VOSviewer application. The data set comprises 1,000 studies, including 551 research journals, 287 books, 114 conference components, 38 articles, 3 datasets, 3 monographs, and 4 reports. The study identifies "safety road" and "traffic data" as the most prevalent keywords, with various other related keyword networks also emerging. The analysis reveals a growing trend in research on lane widening and road performance across different global regions, indicating increasing interest in sustainable road management strategies, particularly in archipelagic and island contexts. The study highlights how the field has evolved over the last two decades by mapping the connections between key terms and studies. The findings suggest that lane widening to maintain road safety and performance is a significant area of focus in road infrastructure research. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the potential for these findings to contribute to developing future sustainable transportation solutions. The study provides a comprehensive literature source and highlights opportunities for further studies in sustainable road infrastructure development, especially within the unique challenges of archipelagic environments.

Marketing Strategies for SMEs in Enhancing Sustainable Business Performance: A Case Study of Pekalongan City, Indonesia

Ani Mekaniwati — 2024-06-30

This study examines the sustainability challenges in Indonesia's small and medium-scale batik industry, focusing on Sustainable Industrial Performance (SIP), Marketing Orientation (MO), and Green Marketing Mix (GMM). Consumer awareness of environmental sustainability influences the demand for eco-friendly batik products, making sustainable practices critical. The research investigates how SIP, MO, and GMM interact to affect sustainability outcomes in the batik sector. The study tests ten hypotheses with two independent variables (MO and GMM) and one dependent variable (SIP). Data were collected from 238 SMEs in Pekalongan, Central Java, Indonesia, using a questionnaire and analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that marketing orientation and green marketing strategies significantly impact economic, environmental, and social sustainability performance. However, marketing orientation does not influence green marketing strategies, and GMM does not mediate the relationship between marketing orientation and sustainability performance. This study provides insights into adopting sustainable practices and the role of marketing strategies in enhancing the batik industry's sustainability.

Soroush Avakh Darestani — 2024-06-30

This study aims to identify effective indicators in the performance measurement of Behpakhsh firm using Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as well as weighting and ranking indicators by employing fuzzy analysis network process (FANP) and investigation on network mapping and the relationships between scorecards with fuzzy DEMATEL presenting strategies to improve performance of Behpakhsh firm. This study aims to assess the significance of the four perspectives: financial, customer, internal processes and learning and growth. About 28 indicators were identified, and after screening, 13 indicators were identified as final BSC indicators. After examining the influence of the main factors using the fuzzy DEMATEL technique, the internal processes dimension has the most impact, and customer and learning and, growth and financial dimensions have been ranked as second to fourth priorities. Also, using the fuzzy ANP technique, the weighting and ranking of dimension and performance measures indicators were examined. The dimension of customers has gained first rank, and financial, internal processes, learning, and growth have been ranked second to fourth, respectively.
