A cost model for the investment feasibility of quality inspection technologies in the Zero Defect Manufacturing era

The current global market forces companies to focus on suitable manufacturing based on zero defect and zero waste strategies. Higher energy prices and critical raw material supply disruptions stimulate the implementation of non destructive inspection technologies for real-time quality assurance, which aims to increase high-quality products and lower production costs via better materials and energy uses. By embracing these advancements, businesses address market dynamics and strategically position themselves for sustained success in a competitive and resource-conscious world. Traditionally, in small and medium enterprises, new manufacturing or inspection equipment is acquired based on a management decision that is, in turn, based in quality purposes and does not focus deeply on the impact on the final factory cost reduction. This research focuses on developing a costing procedure to incorporate the impact of Non Destructive Inspection Technologies into the multistage cost structure for investment decisions. A case study is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the cost breakdown and return on investment for justifying the investment of the Non Destructive Inspection Technology in additive manufacturing machinery. The proposed cost model provides a framework to preliminary assess the viability of Non Destructive Inspection Technologies investments.

Phase-Based and Lifetime Health System Costs of Care for Patients Diagnosed with Leukemia and Lymphoma: A Population-Based Descriptive Study.

Hematologic cancers, notably leukemias and lymphomas, pose significant challenges to healthcare systems globally, due to rising incidence rates and increasing costs. This study aimed to estimate the phase and lifetime health system total costs (not net costs) of care for patients diagnosed with leukemia and lymphoma in Ontario, Canada. We conducted a population-based study of patients diagnosed between 2005 and 2019, using data from the Ontario Cancer Registry linked with health administrative databases. Costs were estimated using a phase-based approach and stratified by care phase and cancer subtype. Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) patients had the highest mean monthly initial (CAD 19,519) and terminal (CAD 41,901) costs among all cancer subtypes, while acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients had the highest mean monthly cost (CAD 7185) during the continuing phase. Overall lifetime costs were highest for ALL patients (CAD 778,795), followed by AML patients (CAD 478,516). Comparatively, patients diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma (CAD 268,184) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (CAD 321,834) had lower lifetime costs. Major cost drivers included inpatient care, emergency department visits, same-day surgeries, ambulatory services, and specialized cancer drugs. Since 2005, the cost structure has evolved with rising proportions of interventional drug costs. Additionally, costs were higher among males and younger age groups. Understanding these costs can help guide initiatives to control healthcare spending and improve cancer care quality.

PECULIARITIES OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES OF HERITAGE AND CULTURE-BASED EXPERIENTIAL TOURISM ENTERPRISES IN THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA

The article presents the peculiarities of business activities of enterprises operating in the Republic of Armenia (RA) offering heritage- and cultural-based experiential tourism (HCBET) products and services. The article proposes the content of an integrated Business Canvas Model for enterprises engaged in similar activities. The integrated business canvas is based on the study of the cases of the enterprises selected within the framework of the research, according to the following key factors: Thematic areas, Activities/services, Marketing approach, Financing methods, Key success factors and challenges, and Potential for future development. Enterprises, operating in this field, are considered key cells of this kind of tourism development in the RA. Those enterprises are considered social organisms, which, if properly managed and provided with appropriate support, can become the basis for the long-term development of this kind of tourism in the RA. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically present the system of tourism services and products of enterprises included in the HCBET and the generalized model of business activity. It is important to emphasize that HCBET in the RA mainly includes hotel and restaurant businesses that mainly offer experiences based on Armenian intangible cultural heritage.

Cost analysis of radical resection of malignant breast tumors under the China Healthcare Security Diagnosis Related Groups payment system.

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women worldwide and poses a severe threat to their health. Therefore, this study examined patients who underwent breast cancer surgery, analyzed hospitalization costs and structure, and explored the impact of China Healthcare Security Diagnosis Related Groups (CHS-DRG) management on patient costs. It aimed to provide medical institutions with ways to reduce costs, optimize cost structures, reduce patient burden, and improve service efficiency. To study the CHS-DRG payment system's impact on breast cancer surgery costs. Using the CHS-DRG (version 1.1) grouping criteria, 4073 patients, who underwent the radical resection of breast malignant tumors from January to December 2023, were included in the JA29 group; 1028 patients were part of the CHS-DRG payment system, unlike the rest. Through an independent sample t-test, the length of hospital stay as well as total hospitalization, medicine and consumables, medical, nursing, medical technology, and management expenses were compared. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to test the cost correlation. In terms of hospitalization expenses, patients in the CHS-DRG payment group had lower medical, nursing, and management expenses than those in the diagnosis-related group (DRG) non-payment group. For patients in the DRG payment group, the factors affecting the total hospitalization cost, in descending order of relevance, were medicine and consumable costs, consumable costs, medicine costs, medical costs, medical technology costs, management costs, nursing costs, and length of hospital stay. For patients in the DRG non-payment group, the factors affecting the total hospitalization expenses in descending order of relevance were medicines and consumable expenses, consumable expenses, medical technology expenses, the cost of medicines, medical expenses, nursing expenses, length of hospital stay, and management expenses. The CHS-DRG system can help control and reduce unnecessary medical expenses by controlling medicine costs, medical consumable costs, and the length of hospital stay while ensuring medical safety.

Column generation for the collaborative multi-stop truckload shipping problem in daily regional distribution

Multi-stop truckload shipping offers less-than-truckload shippers a promising way to reduce their freight costs by consolidating freights en route, which is similar to ridesharing in the mobility industry. One significant challenge in practical implementation is designing attractive multi-stop routes that to shippers while conforming to carriers' requirements. It is crucial to develop an efficient optimisation algorithm to automate bundling decisions. However, this routeing problem is complicated by a nonlinear inseparable cost structure and new routeing decisions in the first pickup and last delivery points. We introduce a new variant of pickup and delivery model and propose a column generation algorithm to efficiently solve real-world multi-stop routeing problems. The algorithm utilises a new specialised labelling procedure that exclusively generates labels for pickup sequences and establishes new dominance rules. Theoretical results on the label dominance, algorithm complexity, and optimality gap are also established. We conduct a real-world case study, comparing our methodology against the enumeration method and a heuristic method documented in the literature. The computational results demonstrate the high efficiency of our method and reveal important insights for practitioners.
