Reconfiguration example

The see Bike case is used to illustrate supply chain reconfiguration. The company 

These reconfiguration options are shown in Fig. 4.3. Changes in other parts of the supply chain are not considered and corresponding units and links are shown as fixed. This reconfiguration example corresponds to the reconfiguration by expansion pattern. 

Location of the specialist retailer serving Canadian market and allocation of this retailer are shown as design phase decisions. Several alternative supply chain configurations can be obtained by evaluation of the options. For instance, the expansion of Canada is deferred and the US MW retailer stays in its current location, Canadian and US MW customers are served by the relocated US MW specialist retailer US MW2 or US MW specialist retailer remains in its current location and a new CA ON specialist retailer is added for serving the Canadian market exclusively. 

A particular configuration to be implemented is identified using supply chain configuration analysis methods as described in Chap. 5.

Some heavy nuclei will fission spontaneously. Others can be induced to fission through interaction with a neutron. In both spontaneous nuclear fission and induced nuclear fission the pool of neutrons and protons is conseiwed. For example, the nucleus "" Cf (Californium) fissions spontaneously. The 98 protons and 154 neutrons in the nucleus of Cf are reconfigured into other nuclei. Usually a few neu-... 

If the existing shells differ significantly from what is required in the retrofitted sequence, then, in addition to reconfiguring the distillation sequence, the existing shells can also be modified. For example, the number... 

While the conditional gene knockout experiments are supportive of a role for the NMDA receptors in memory, they are less than fully conclusive in linking the synaptic coincidence-detection feature of the NMDA receptor to memory formation. Like all loss-of-function studies, CA1-specific gene-knockout experiments could, in theory, produce memory impairment via a mechanism independent of the coincidence-detection function of the NMDA receptor. For example, one may argue that the physical absence of the NMDA receptor channels may cause subtle structural reconfiguration at the synapse, thereby altering normal synaptic transmission. Therefore, the memory impairment in CA1-specific NR1 knockout mice does not allow a firm conclusion that the coincidence-detection function of NMDA receptors controls learning and memory processes at the cellular level.

The derivative (or rate) settings are in units of time and can be adjusted from a few seconds to up to 10 h or more. Because the derivative mode acts on the rate at which the error signal changes, it can also cause unnecessary upsets because, for example, it will react to the sudden set point changes made by the operator. It will also amplify noise, and will cause upsets when the measurement signal changes occur in steps, as in case of periodic measurements. Therefore, in such situations it should either be avoided or the controller be reconfigured so that the D-mode acts only on the measurement and not the error. 

One strategy for making L smaller without the need for more precise processing is to reconfigure the device as a vertical structure, and two examples are illustrated in Fig. 10.10. The channel length is now defined by the thickness of the film rather than by the accuracy of the photolithographic patterning. A film thickness of about 1000 A potentially increases the transconductance by a factor of 100. Improved values of have been demonstrated in vertical TFT structures,...
