Abstract:

Procurement is a complex process with many unseen challenges beneath the tip of the iceberg. While ChatGPT is currently used for simple procurement tasks like email and translation, this paper explores its potential to transform the hidden bulk of procurement. Through managing supplier onboarding, purchase orders, contract disputes, inventory control, and more, ChatGPT can revolutionize procurement. This paper provides an introduction to procurement and ChatGPT, then contrasts the visible applications against the hidden complexities. It explains how ChatGPT can be practically implemented acros

Abstract:

Inflated drug prices have always been a problem in the circulation of medicines in China, and in recent years, the relevant departments in China have formulated a series of policies to control drug prices, one of the strongest and most effective of which is to carry out centralized procurement of medicines. The state has also introduced a series of related policies around the centralized procurement of drugs, including the establishment of a centralized procurement platform for drugs. Therefore, this paper focuses on the concept of centralized drugs bulk-buying platform, the current developmen

Abstract:

Procurement is an essential operation of every organization regardless of its size or domain. As such, aggregating the demands could lead to better value-for-money due to: (1) lower bulk prices; (2) larger vendor tendering; (3) lower shipping and handling fees; and (4) reduced legal and administration overheads. This paper describes our experience in developing an AI solution for demand aggregation and deploying it in A*STAR, a large governmental research organization in Singapore with procurement expenditure to the scale of hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

Abstract:

This paper presents a multi-variate and multi-phase deterministic framework for IT acquisition on a very-large scale. The conventional approach of IT acquisition through open tenders or contractual negotiations invariably elicits different kinds of fallacies. The deployment of the deterministic framework minimizes the shortcomings associated with the conventional IT acquisition approach. The salient factors for ensuring procurement success for very-large-scale IT acquisition are discussed and the notion of “acquisition preparedness” is delineated. Finally, the tangible benefits of the framewor

But in real life, demand cannot be forecasted precisely which causes fuzziness in related constraints and cost functions.

Agriculture plays a crucial role in the economy of many countries, but farmers often face challenges in obtaining fair prices for their produce due to the influence of middlemen and limited access to large-scale buyers. Research shows that farmers often receive only a small fraction—typically 20% or less—of the final retail price, leading to low profits and financial instability within the farming community. To address this issue, we propose a bulk trading platform that connects farmers directly with buyers, enabling better engagement and facilitating the exchange of agricultural products. The

Moreover, the indicators of the specified losses increase as the length of stay of mown grass in the field increases. It is possible to reduce them due to intensification of drying. An effective way to reduce the drying time is to move the swaths and turn over the swaths of mowed grass. However, the performance of these operations is accompanied by mechanical loss

Recently, as uncertainty and vulnerability in the global supply chain have increased, it is necessary to identify risks and establish countermeasures considering the structure of the global supply chain. In particular, it is important to apply a risk management system and establish a response strategy for the steel industries among the various industries exposed to changes in the supply and demand of raw materials and the market environment. This study divided the domestic steel industry into four stages from the SCM perspective: procurement management, production management, inventory managem

Abstract:

Pepper (Piper nigrum L.) is considered a non-traditional cash crop for enhancing local development in Costa Rica and a suitable activity for small farmers. Trade of pepper has been done by using contractual agreements between producers and processors, which provides at least three functions: insurance, incentives and information. Contracts also require a high level of commitment from contracting parties to keep the equity, efficiency, and sustainability of the trade relationship. The shift of trade conditions from a competitive to a monopsony market encouraged a group of farmers to start an as

Abstract:

Banana cultivation plays a significant role in the agricultural economy of India, particularly in regions like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, which is well-suited for banana farming due to its fertile soils and favourable climatic conditions. The study evaluates the economics of cultivation for banana farmers who are members of the Kollegala Horticulture Farmers Producer Company Limited (KHFPCL) compared to non-members. Data were collected from 400 farmers, equally split between KHFPCL members and non-members, to estimate key cost components such as labor, fertilizers, plant protection chemica

Abstract:

Corneal transplantation is one of the most common forms of tissue transplantation worldwide. Donor corneal tissue used in transplantation is provided by eye banks, which store the tissue in culture medium after procurement. To date, the effects of cell culture on human corneal tissue have not been fully elucidated. Using the 3′ RNA sequencing method for massive analysis of cDNA ends (MACE), we show that cultivation of corneal tissue leads to significant changes in a variety of molecular processes in human corneal tissue that go well beyond aspects of previously known culture effects.

Abstract:

End stage breast cancer often presents with oligometastatic tumors and lacks effective treatment options. Previous studies leveraged post-mortem tissue procurement (also called rapid autopsy) programs to collect tumors shortly after death for profiling by bulk whole exome sequencing (WES). This has revealed substantial heterogeneity in the genomes of metastatic estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and triple-negative breast cancers. In order to understand the heterogeneity of both the genotypes, transcriptional phenotypes, and evolution of these tumors, we collected multi-site metastatic tumors fr

The identification of the CD34 molecule, expressed almost exclusively on human hematopoietic stem cells and committed progenitors, and the development of CD34-specific monoclonal antibodies have made procurement of relatively pure populations of CD34+ marrow cells for autologous transplantation feasible. Characterization of the immunogenicity of CD34+ marrow cells may facilitate the design of successful strategies to use these cells for allogeneic transplantation. CD34+ marrow cells from normal volunteers were enriched to greater than 98% purity by immunoaffinity chromatography on column follo

Unengineered bulk TIL cell therapy has an objective response rate (ORR) of 31-49% in pts with unresectable or metastatic melanoma (Rohaan NEJM 2022, Chesney JITC 2022), but requires co-administration of systemic high-dose IL2, which is associated with safety risks and limits pt eligibility.
