Through expert opinions, 20 main factors were identified and classified based on the importance and then a FCM approach was applied for obtaining the relationship between the factors, and all of the impact factors are outputs of expert opinion. The outcomes of the study highlighted those three factors, including customer scoring, R&D, and method development were the most important factors impressing the implementation CMSs. Present practices for implementation CMS are and the relationship between the main factors also impressing CMS by employing the FCM approach in the Iranian internet service provider company. The model obtained in this study guides the managers to identify and classify the important factors of the cloud manufacturing and finally implement it successfully.https://www.journal-aprie.com/article_131159_512c9a0bf48773f2db055f76ec625c05.pdfResearch Expansion Alliance (REA) on behalf of Ayandegan Institute of Higher EducationJournal of Applied Research on Industrial Engineering2538-51008420211201Free vibration of bi-directional functionally graded sandwich plates using layerwise finite element approach32334013837710.22105/jarie.2021.296070.1358ENLaith OMazahrehOil and Natural Gas Directorate, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Amman, Jordan.

Abu-AlshaikhDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Jordan, Jordan.0000-0001-9910-2880Journal Article20210720In this paper, layerwise finite element analysis for the free vibration behavior of two-dimensional functionally graded sandwich plates with different boundary conditions is presented. The plates consist of three layers; a functionally graded layer embedded between ceramic and metal isotropic layers. The layerwise approach is based on the third order shear deformation theory for the middle layer, while the first order shear deformation theory is used to model both the upper and lower isotropic layers. Quadrilateral 8-noded element with 13-degrees of freedom per node is used for this purpose. The present results show very good agreements with the published analytical results of plates consist of a single functionally graded layer. Furthermore, for sandwich plates good agreements were obtained when the present results are compared with similar problems solved by other methods in literature. Parametric studies were investigated for various plate parameters including applied boundary conditions, volume fraction exponents and plate side to thickness ratio.https://www.journal-aprie.com/article_138377_560a79bcfb726a20030f92e97232293e.pdfResearch Expansion Alliance (REA) on behalf of Ayandegan Institute of Higher EducationJournal of Applied Research on Industrial Engineering2538-51008420211201A multi-facility AGV location-routing problem with uncertain demands and planar facility locations34136413378710.22105/jarie.2021.261983.1232ENMohamad Ebrahim Tayebi AraghiDepartment of Industrial Engineering, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran.Fariborz JolaiSchool of Industrial Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran.0000-0003-0824-8513Reza Tavakkoli-MoghaddamSchool of Industrial Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran.0000-0002-6757-926XMohammad MolanaDepartment of Industrial Engineering, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran.Journal Article20200514The Location Routing Problem (LRP), Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV), and Uncertainty Planner Facility (UPF) in Facility Location Problems (FLP) have been critical.

The health care field, especially in the private hospital in Egypt has acquired huge importance lately because of its great contribution to the fast handling of patients. Today, customers of the private hospitals complain from slow handling during registration process, which may lead to making the patient condition worse and may refers to bad performance of the hospital at all. In view of the importance of these complains, the researcher selected the (PATH) as a tool to improve the quality in emergency department at hospital. Using that tool structural and organizational changes such as: quality committees; multidisciplinary teams and technology investments. The study found that applying the (PATH) in the emergency department leads to decrease the patient waiting time and leads to improve the overall performance of the ( Sina hospital).https://www.journal-aprie.com/article_134797_6634957362ce351e7cb64429d44dcfa7.pdfResearch Expansion Alliance (REA) on behalf of Ayandegan Institute of Higher EducationJournal of Applied Research on Industrial Engineering2538-51008420211201A multi-objective grey wolf optimization algorithm for aircraft landing problem38639813016010.22105/jarie.2021.261337.1230ENManizheh TeimooriDepartment of Management, Tabriz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran.Houshang TaghizadehDepartment of Management, Tabriz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran.Jafar PourmahmoudDepartment of Applied Mathematic, Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University, Tabriz, Iran.Morteza Honarmand AzimiDepartment of Management, Tabriz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran.Journal Article20200411Air traffic management is an important job and often faces various problems. One of the most common problems in this area is the issue of aircraft sequencing, which is a multi-dimensional problem due to the large number of flights and their different positional conditions. Previously proposed models were based on First Come, First Service (FCFS) have not considered the time factor, resulting in increased delay penalties. In this regard, this article proposes a model in which the time factor is one of the factors that is managed and additional costs due to delay will be eliminated. This paper proposed the Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimization (MOGWO) algorithm to evaluate three objective functions such as the airport runway efficiency, the apron and parking costs, and the fuel consumption costs. The proposed algorithm compared with well- known NSGA-II (non–dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm). The obtain results represented that in the case of using all the data for the first, second and third-objective function, MOGWO performs better than NSGA-II. The brilliant results demonstrated the superiority of the proposed model. In this study, using the proposed model, the data set of Shahid Hasheminejad International Airport in Mashhad was analyzed.https://www.journal-aprie.com/article_130160_bcb14d6722e726d8efb869bb8097aab8.pdfResearch Expansion Alliance (REA) on behalf of Ayandegan Institute of Higher EducationJournal of Applied Research on Industrial Engineering2538-51008420211201A survey on the techniques applied to the recognition and conversion of Indian sign language39941112150610.22105/jarie.2020.259290.1214ENKaushal Kishore Rao MangaloreDepartment of MCA, School of Computer Science and IT, Jain (deemed-to-be) University, Bengaluru, India.Nikhitha PradeepDepartment of MCA, School of Computer Science and IT, Jain (deemed-to-be) University, Bengaluru, India.Bhawesh RajpalDepartment of MCA, School of Computer Science and IT, Jain (deemed-to-be) University, Bengaluru, India.Nitin PrasadDepartment of MCA, School of Computer Science and IT, Jain (deemed-to-be) University, Bengaluru, India.Ravi ShastriDepartment of MCA, School of Computer Science and IT, Jain (deemed-to-be) University, Bengaluru, India.Journal Article20210907The move to standardize Indian Sign Language has created an opportunity for researchers to focus on solving local problems, to increase its reach.

Early recognition of these abilities is a factor influencing the success of sports teams. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a new method of modelling and prediction. The aim of this study was to cluster basketball players based on their individual abilities. For this purpose, Self-Organizing Map (SOM) Neural Networks (NNs) were used. The data set used by 3000 NBA players for 2011 until 2018 is from the Basketball-Reference<sup>[1]</sup> site. Each player is assigned 30 attributes to reduce them using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method and the features for each player were reduced to 12 samples. In order to implement a SOM of features and functions in MATLAB software 65% of the data were used as the network training phase and the remaining 35% were used to the test phase. 12 players’ features as network input and output 9 clusters resulting from the combination of features. After simulation using SOM, accuracy parameter with the help of this system were obtained above 95%. The result of the study showed that the performance of the SOM in clustering basketball players was higher than the K-Means algorithm. The network implemented in this article has a faster speed in the training process and generalizability than similar cases.https://www.journal-aprie.com/article_134523_0b130d722e952d6a0cf390846a1a63bb.pdf
