Introduction General tendencies in creating designs of advanced engineering structures of different functional area in many industries (chemical and food, power engineering and shipbuilding, aerospace manufacturing, etc.) are associated with a reduction in mass of products [1-5], with the use of materials having improved mechanical [6-9] and operational characteristics [9-13], and also with the introduction of modern treatment technologies [14-18].

Decisions 4 Production decision maker Action 6 Interaction 5 Forecast 3 Raw materials 2 Performance 1 Figure 1 Time series forecasting and managerial decision making (Adapted from [5]) In this study we applied the multiplicative decomposition model because it has been found to be useful when modeling time series that display increasing or decreasing seasonal variation [19, 20].
The key assumption observed in this model is that seasonality can be separated from other components of the series.
These demand peaks recur following almost a predictable pattern which concurs Busetti and Harvey [24] such that understanding seasonal fluctuations helps plan for sufficient goods and materials on hand to meet varying seasonal demand.
In general, the software developed for the project has a wide range of application in the field of Production Engineering analysis in particular and other similar fields with little modifications.

Experimental Materials.
Result and Discussion It is well known that the hydrophilicity of particles play a key role in Pickering emulsions.
The photocatalytic performance of these g-C3N4-containing materials for degrading MB was evaluated under visible light irradiation (λ>400 nm), as shown in Figure 8a.
This unexpected behavior can be understood by considering factors influencing photocatalytic activity of the g-C3N4-containing materials.

Fernie [5] showed that, for this material, the ultimate tensile and compressive stresses increased by 115% and 26% at the rate of 5ms -1.
Secondary effects, such as inertia and material damping would also tend to localise the material failure at the crush zone away from the damage under dynamic conditions.

The pandemic's effects were felt across the supply chain, from raw materials to finished goods, and had a significant impact on production, transportation, and consumer demand.
These disruptions have led to shortages of raw materials and components, as well as delays in shipping and delivery [5].
Delays in the transportation of raw materials affected the production schedules of textile manufacturers, leading to shortages and interruptions in the supply chain.

Electrochemical Performance Ni Doped Spinel LiMn2O4 Cathode for Lithium Ion Batteries Cui YongLi*, Bao WenJing, Yuan Zheng, Zhuang QuanChao*, Sun Zhi School of Materials Science and Engineering, China University of Mining & technology, Xuzhou 221116, China Keywords: Lithium ion batteries, LiMn2O4 cathode, LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4, Electrochemical performance Abstract.
Lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4) with a three-dimensional crystal structure is one of the most promising cathode materials for high abundance, low toxicity, high energy density and excellent voltage profile characteristics [1-3].
In comparison pure spinel materials, a shift of the XRD peaks of LiNixMn2-xO4 toward high angles is observed.
This means the stability of the structure has been enhanced after 0.5Ni-doped, which will help to improve the material electrochemical performance .
According to valence balance, the maximum x of doping active Ni2+ for LiNixMn2-xO4 electrode material is 0.5, which would raise the charge and discharge capacity of the battery at high voltage.
