Prevalence is not only seen in urban areas but also in the rural parts of the country. The direct and indirect cost of the therapy is a major concern, with the cost rising with the progression of disease. Prediction in early stages can not only reduce the cost of therapy, but also prevent the multiple organ dysfunction and casualties. This paper uses classification techniques, like logistic regression to predict the disease in its early stages. The centres used for the study are diabetes speciality clinics in Varanasi.

The bullwhip effect which shows the dynamics in the supply chain is a well documented phenomenon. This article presents the importance of considering the inventory policies in supply chain planning to minimize the bullwhip effect. A similar work available in the literature by (Jakšic and Rusjan, 2008) has considered the effect of replenishment policies on the bullwhip effect, but has not considered the Work In Progress (WIP) inventory. We have done the performance analysis to show the role of work in progress inventory in supply chain policy planning. Our policy is named as “Viswanadh’s policy”, which will increase efficiency of supply chain. We have adopted the control engineering approach to find the system response of our policy. By comparing the system frequency response of both the policies, we found our policies to be better than their policies. Under the given cir...

It may also be considered to plan strategies, in order to gain competitive edge over competitors. Recently extensive work is being reported in SCF focussing mainly on its multi dimensional aspects and implementation. However SCF is no free lunch and it may require huge investments to realise its potential benefits. ‘How much flexibility is required’, thus becomes the prime concern for firms willing to be flexible. This question is rarely discussed in the literature and in its scarcity, flexibility performance measurements remains untouched for risky and uncertain environments. Therefore measuring SCF is a prominent field where research needs to be focused. In this paper a mathematical model is proposed to evaluate supply chain flexibility at supplier buyer interface with an aim to attain robust supply in all possible scenarios. Further cost of procurement in view of flexibility is investigated in disastrous scenarios to support procurement decisions by managers. The paper contributes by analysing and evaluating SCF in environment of demand and lead time uncertainties and risks of major plant disruptions.

In this paper an attempt is made to evaluate procurement flexibility at supplier buyer interface in disastrous scenarios. This can be considered to be an extension of research work carried out by Das and Abdel-Malek (2003). This paper contributes by analysing supply chain disruptions in extremely risky environments that are coupled with uncertainties in demand and lead times from downstream. These uncertainties are captured by a probability density functions, more precisely the normal distributions. A flexibility measure ψ is designed which not only ensures timely supply of material from the supplier but also ensures to maintain a continuous supply at minimal risk to buyer in case of complete disruptions at supplier's production sites. As this flexibility measure ψ varies from 0 to 1, it reflects a 0 to 100% flexibility of supplier from buyers' viewpoint.

Many researches have indicated the potential threat of e-waste and stated the need of proper recycling strategies and global ewaste
management policies to confront the growing problem. This study discusses the awareness in people for handling obsolete
electronic products and suggests a green framework for e-waste. The study also discusses the role of EPR for e-waste handling,
defining the need of green manufacturing and its approaches which can lead to solutions for WEEE.
