The Six Basic Factors

"The most commonly used indicator of thermal comfort is air temperature – it is easy to use and most people can relate to it. But although it is an important indicator to take into account, air temperature alone is neither a valid nor an accurate indicator of thermal comfort or thermal stress. Air temperature should always be considered in relation to other environmental and personal factors. 

The six factors affecting thermal comfort are both environmental and personal. These factors may be independent of each other, but together contribute to a worker’s thermal comfort."The Six Basic Factors

Abstract

"This paper studies the fast-fashion apparel transshipment problem (FATP) among allied retailers. The FATP belongs to the category of practical many–to–many transportation models and has distinct features: the flow out of and the flow into a retailer are restricted by the estimated sales volume in the next time period, the shortage of stock and excess stock for fast-fashion apparel sales all yield penalty costs and the alliance aims to maximize the profit for the retailers as a whole. Therefore, developing an optimal transshipment solution method is important for the alliance. This paper devises mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) models for the FATP. The stock levels, the estimated distribution of sales for the next decision period, the unit penalty costs for a shortage of stock or excess stock and the unit cost of transshipment are parameters that control the flows among retailers. A decision-support system (DSS) was designed based on the model for transshipment management. Experiments were performed to demonstrate the transshipment solutions and reveal the effects of parameters on the solutions for a real-world case. Some tuning methods are designed to assist the decisions of the retailer alliance. The FATP is addressed for fast-fashion apparel sales in the context of an alliance for alleviating the risk of dead stock; the FATP is also a new transportation problem with uncertain supply and demand. The proposed method is a theoretical basis for designing a practical DSS for allied fast-fashion apparel retailers."http://trj.sagepub.com/content/84/20/2127.abstract
