Abstract: This paper aims to study inventory management mode optimization, meanwhile, combined with the best spare parts procurement cost as a basic criterion to explore a way of how to reduce the spare parts cost in routine operation of channel construction units by using joint inventory management. In the terms of this purpose, this paper concentrates on ensuring high efficient safety operation of construction project and making further reduce total cost.

Abstract: Balanced cash flow is the foundation of enterprise survival and growth. Investment and finance activities are the most prominent factors that affect enterprises cash flow. So appropriate investment and finance scale is very important to get appropriate production capacity and healthy cash flow at the same time. In order to determine the suitable investment and finance scale of the enterprise, investment and finance scale analysis model is studied in this paper.

Abstract: This document explains and demonstrates the generic improvement algorithm created to enhance the maintenance methodology in the semiconductor manufacturing environment. The use of this algorithm demonstrates how a process and equipment can utilize it and get better output quality from a process and cost standpoint, which is a key driver in any manufacturing industry.

Abstract: The success or failure of power sector has a multi-dimensional effect. It affects on the other sectors of the industries. Therefore, drivers of success or failures as well as the solution of crisis of power sector have been identified from various aspects. This paper investigates the available solutions of problem of power industry regarding the preferences of compatibility of solutions. The available solutions have been identified from the previous researches. Different dimensions of the solutions have been considered to find out the most compatible solution for the stable growth of power sector in a developing country, Bangladesh. The Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) has been used to determine the compatibility of the available solutions.

Abstract: This article proposes using passenger transportation energy intensity to measure the energy utility efficiency and energy-saving potential of the passenger transportation, uses the complete decomposition model to decompose the passenger transportation energy intensity from 1990 to 2007, and then investigate how various factors impact passenger transportation energy intensity. As is shown in the results, transportation structure increases passenger transportation energy intensity, while energy efficiency decreases it, however the decline is limited. Thus energy saving caused by adjustment of transportation structure is much more considerable.

Abstract: Affected by the constant development of global economy and the imbalance in distribution of conventional oil and gas, oil and gas resources can no longer meet the demand in many countries. Development of unconventional oil and gas has begun to take shape. Shale gas and tight oil become the focus of global attention. Unconventional oil and gas resources are relatively abundant in China. Preliminary results have been achieved in the development of shale gas. Tight oil has been developed in small scale, and the main technologies are maturing gradually. Yet we face many challenges. Low in work degree, resources remain uncertain. Environmental capacity is limited, and large scale batch jobs will confront with difficulties.
