Stocks concepts

The resulting stock at the different locations of the supply chain is displayed in charts as in Figure 2.3. Additionally, the total stock, the different transportation costs and the costs for using the resources in Malaysia were taken into account and finally led to a recommendation for the floating stock concept together with a specific combination of decision variables.

These universal concentrates are preferred if they can be used, because inventorying costs can be reduced it is not necessary to stock different concentrates for different colorants. In some performance polymers this concept is not appHcable because the universal vehicles have a negative effect on weathering, transparency, or processing performance. 

It is also noteworthy that Alfred Stock, who is universally acclaimed as the discoverer of the boron hydrides (1912). " was also the first to propose the use of the term "ligand (in a lecture in Berlin on 27 November 1916). Both events essentially predate the formulation by G. N. Lewis of the electronic theory of valency (1916). It is therefore felicitous that, albeit some 20 years after Stock s death in 1946, two such apparently disparate aspects of his work should be connected in the emerging concept of boranes as ligands . 

Section 6.2 introduces the most important concepts in the description of random demand. Section 6.3 deals with random service, which results from random demand and production planning. Section 6.4 discusses the optimal planning of the production given specified random demands and known stock levels. Section 6.5 illustrates the theory by a few examples of the results applied to case studies.

The idea of a unique Jewish physicality or Jewish blood was not new to nineteenth-century America. As James Shapiro has recently argued, theology heavily influenced early modern conceptions of both racial and national difference in Europe, and so the alien Jew figured prominently in European discussion as early as the sixteenth century. In 1590 Andrew Willet argued that Jews have never been grafted onto the stock of other... 

Of every 5000 medicines tested, on average, only 5 are tested in clinical trials and only 1 of those is approved for patient use." Very, very few biotech concepts yield commercial returns. Consequently, investors are hypersensitive to events which appear to shift the odds of success one way or the other. What drives biotech stock prices up or down is not changes in timelines, but rather changes in perceptions of the risk of failure. 

The rectangles or boxes in Figure 35.11 are called "stocks" and represent places where items (millions of barrels of oil or metrics tons of oil, in this case) can be counted at a single time point. The arrows between the stocks are called "flows" and denote the rate at which items move from one place to another in the system. Note that all these flows are "per time" concepts discovery, pumping, and consumption are often measured in millions of barrels of oil per year, while net growth of the human population would be characterized as people per year. Other icons such as the circles which represent "auxiliary" variables total existing oil reserves and oil consumption per capita) and the thin arrows called "links" which represent inter-relationships (human population multiplied by oil consumption per capita equals consumption) flesh out the set of causal inter-relationships in the system. 

To favour the penetration of thermoplastics in the automotive industry, several concepts are being developed to ease assembly, stock control and purchasing. The passenger compartment is a good example of two of these concepts ...
