 Abstract

This paper deals with the design of supply chain models with complexities in the present industry. In this paper a mathematical model has been designed for a production � distribution supply chain network considering volume flexibility and the various risks associated with disruptions. The model is framed using mixed integer nonlinear programming and multiple periods, multiple products, suppliers, manufacturing plants, distribution centers and customer market and distinct disruption scenarios have been considered. The aim is to minimize the total operational cost, minimizing the shortage cost due to disruptions and maximizing the flexibility level of the back orders.

 Abstract

It is a well known fact that all companies depend on various tools of marketing to sell their product and to communicate prospective brand values to their existing and expected consumers. As new trends emerge marketing communication has become an important element in all the business organisations which can not be ignored and henceforth traditional marketing practices have swept away and have madee way for a system of integrated marketing communication which includes a mix of marketing practices such as Advertisement, Personal selling, Sales Promotion, Experiences and Sales Events. As we know that with a huge surge in the available information the customers have widened their reach and hence the value of marketing communication has gone up considerably. Therefore we tend to use the Marketing Communication tools to influence the behaviour of our targeted customer. Also the companies need to keep in mind that the marketing communication tools are used intelligently so as to correctly influence the audience. This Research Paper aims to study the impact of marketing communication on customer purchase intention after taking into consideration success stories of several organisations who are able to grab customer attention successfully with the help of an integrated system of marketing communication. The purpose of this research paper is to determine if the planned use of various tools of integrated marketing communication is actually a medium to influence the purchase intentions of various types of customers be it expected or existing ones.

 Abstract

In India, the farmers still lack real time information about consumers, market demand and prices and are prone to more exploitation by existing intermediaries in the conventional supply chain. With the growth of organized retailing and free global trade, farming is becoming highly knowledge intensive, commercialized, competitive and globalised, making it necessary to digitize, rebuild competitive. In agriculture sector, an efficient supply chains to benefit both the farmer as well as the consumer. Also the urban areas are congested with deteriorating quality of life and highly saturated markets. While nearly 60 per cent of India�s population live in rural areas, and forecasts indicate that these numbers will remain the same, even in 2050. There would be approx. 800 million people living in Indian rural areas in the 2040-50s, providing the scale and the markets for commodity supply chains to thrive. Thus, there is a need for transforming rural India into a group of sophisticated vibrant activity centres. Innovations and transformations will be required in every layer of products, processes, business models, and service models. This study aims to find the different aspects of supply chain of agricultural outputs mainly in Assam and India by and large. The state of Assam is capable of producing many sorts of agricultural commodities but yet to reach the ideal position in terms of supplying and distribution.

To compare outcome of treatment between steroid�antibiotic and 10% Ichthammol glycerine packs (IG packs) in acute otitis externa. A prospective study between steroid�antibiotic and 10% IG pack which was performed in department of ENT, civil hospital jawalamukhi and civil hospital nagrota bhagwan from July 2019 to may 2020 on 32 patients was conducted. Age group among studied patients ranged from 14 to 56 years, with mean of 36.7 years. Out of which 20 (62.5%) were females and 12 (38.5%) were males. Pain assessed by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and edema was assessed by dividing the external auditory canal in two quadrant giving score of 50% for each on the day of presentation and subsequent visits till tragal sign and edema subsided. Average number of visits in 10% IG pack group (n = 16) was 4.6 days (2�5 visits) while in steroid�antibiotic group (n = 16) it was 3.5 days (2�5 visits). There was statisti- cally significant decrease in the number of visits in steroid group (P 0.05). Similarly, decrease in pain score in second visit was significant in steroid antibiotic group as compared to 10% IG pack whereas it was statistically highly significant on third visit (P = 0.001). Since the reduction of pain and edema is more in the steroid antibiotic group hence the total number of packing is significantly less in steroid�antibiotic group, so it could be recommended to use steroid�antibiotic pack for effective treatment of acute otitis externa.

Several studies have been conducted to identify the relationship between customers, customer satisfaction and business performance in the airline industry. Whereas there has been less focus on the Passenger retention perspective. Snowball sampling method was used to determine how the airline can deliver quality service to the passengers as this field requires passenger satisfaction for the airlines to survive and strengthen their competitiveness with the other airlines. The sample was collected from frequent Indigo airline commuting customers. The sample size is 100. Statistical Analysis was done using SPSS Software. The Research design used here is Descriptive research. The major objective of this study is to determine the best possible customer satisfaction methodologies for better and longer passenger retention in the Indigo airlines.

 Abstract

Before 2004 there was a paper based voting system called the Ballot Paper System. With the growth of technology, we have moved in to the electronic voting machine system, called the EVM. But now a days EVM are not safe, because of the hardware malpractice which includes virus, hacking as well as physical tampering. To overcome such situations we are proposing a new system called the Advanced Voting Machine (AVM). Initially the voters are enrolled using the biometric fingerprint. After the verification of fingerprint the voters can cast their vote. There by we can avoid the fake votes. The candidate details are already stored so the voters can easily choose the candidate. At the time of voting, camera will be activated and it will capture the image of the corresponding voter symbol and it will be stored in the database. These images will be processed to identify the symbols using the image comparison techniques, and based on that counting take place. After casting the vote a token will be generated to the voters in the encrypted form to their mobile phones. After voting token generated in mobile phones to the voters, through this token voters get the details of the voting like candidate name, party name and symbol of the party etc in which we can assure that vote will be given for the right person. Otherwise we can claim on it.
