  • Supply chain micro-communities in urban areas 
    Viljoen, N.M. (Nadia); Joubert, Johannes Willem (Elsevier, 2019-01)
    An increase in urban freight transport is inevitable as growing urban populations require more goods, more conveniently. A deeper understanding of the geography and trends of urban freight transport must recognise that it ...

    Stark, V.; Van Schoor, Christiaan de Wet; Strasheim, J.J. (Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2005-11)
    Supply planning in the automotive industry is a vital ingredient for supply chain integration. The role and function of a supply planner, although clearly defined in European developed methods, lacks the practical ...
  • Surface roughness prediction using a hybrid scheme of difference analysis and adaptive feedback weights 
    Ayomoh, Michael Kweneojo; Abou-El-Hossein, K.A. (Elsevier, 2021-03)
    This research has presented an optimum model for surface roughness prediction in a shop floor machining operation. The proposed solution is premised on difference analysis enhanced with a feedback control model capable ...
  • System dynamics comparison of three inventory management models in an automotive parts supply chain 
    Botha, Andries; Grobler, Jacomine; Yadavalli, Venkata S. Sarma (AOSIS Open Journals, 2017-03-30)
    BACKGROUND : The automotive parts supply chain measures its success in terms of parts availability and stock required to achieve the availability target, measured as allocation fill rate (AFR). The supply chain strives ...
  • A systematic evaluation of freight carrier response to receiver reordering behaviour 
    Bean, Willemiena Lodewika; Joubert, Johannes Willem (Elsevier, 2018-10)
    The fields of behavioural transport modelling has been gaining momentum and many researchers have focused on incorporating some elements of stakeholder behaviour and decision making into their freight planning tools. ...
  • Systems with extended availability and switchover delays 
    Yadavalli, Venkata S. Sarma; Hameed, M.A. Shahul; Prathaban, L.; Thaga, K. (Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2007-11)
    A system with extended availability and switchover delays with a single repair facility is considered, with a random extended available period having a switching delay from online failure to the repair of the facility. ...
  • Testing self-perception theory with agent-based simulation 
    Joubert, Johan W.; Hitge, Gerhard; International Workshop on Agent-based Mobility, Traffic and Transportation Models, Methodologies and Applications (12th : 2023 : Leuven, Belgium) (Elsevier, 2023)
    Conventional wisdom is that a person's attitude towards an issue dictates their behaviour. In contrast, self-perception theory accounts for how a person forms their attitude. In the context of this paper, the theory asserts ...
  • A three-echelon supply chain for economic growing quantity model with price- and freshness-dependent demand : pricing, ordering and shipment decisions 
    Sebatjane, Makoena; Adetunji, Olufemi (Elsevier, 2020)
    The demand for perishable food products is often influenced by the selling price and the age of the items. This is because perishable food products have become commodities from consumers’ point of view, hence, there ...
  • A total quality management approach to civil engineering consulting 
    Ambrose, G.A.L.; Claasen, S.J. (Schalk Johannes) (Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2004)
    The article describes the development of a framework for the implementation of a Total Quality Management (TQM) approach in the civil consulting industry through the five phases of the typical civil engineering project. ...
  • Towards a holistic customer experience management framework for enterprises 
    Du Plessis, Liezl; De Vries, Marne (Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2016-11-06)
    We have entered the age of the customer where customer choice is the main differentiator between enterprises. Therefore, enterprises need to shift their focus to customer experience management (CEM). A survey conducted ...
  • Towards consistent demarcation of enterprise design domains 
    De Vries, Marne (Springer, 2017-11)
    This article supports the ideology that enterprise engineering (EE) could add more value if EE researchers focus on facilitating effective conversations within design teams to create a common understanding of the enterprise. ...
  • Transit network design with meta-heuristic algorithms and agent based simulation 
    Nnene, Obiora A.; Joubert, Johannes Willem; Zuidgeest, Mark H.P. (International Federation of Automatic Control, 2019)
    In this work, a transit network design problem is presented. The problem is identified as a typical large-scale complex system. Subsequently, it is decomposed into its sub-components. The first two sub-components, which ...
  • Transition of patients with mucopolysaccharidosis from paediatric to adult care 
    Lampe, C.; McNelly, B.; Gevorkian, A.K.; Hendriksz, Christian J.; Lobzhanidze, T.V.; Perez-López, J.; Stepien, K.M.; Vashakmadze, N.D.; Del Toro, M. (Elsevier, 2019-12)
    Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are rare disorders associated with enzyme deficiencies, resulting in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) accumulation in multiple organ systems. As patients increasingly survive to adulthood, the need for ...
  • A transportation model for an effective disaster relief operation in the SADC region 
    Baraka, J.-C.M.; Yadavalli, Venkata S. Sarma; Singh, R. (Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2017-08-31)
