Supply chain management is a cross-functional approach that includes managing the movement of raw materials into an organization, certain aspects of the internal processing of materials into finished goods, and the movement of finished goods out of the organization and toward the end consumer.
Ascending chain condition. In mathematics, the ascending chain condition ( ACC) and descending chain condition ( DCC) are finiteness properties satisfied by some algebraic structures, most importantly ideals in certain commutative rings. [1] [2] [3] These conditions played an important role in the development of the structure theory of ...
The words block and chain were used separately in Satoshi Nakamoto's original paper, but were eventually popularized as a single word, blockchain, by 2016. [ 16 ] According to Accenture , an application of the diffusion of innovations theory suggests that blockchains attained a 13.5% adoption rate within financial services in 2016, therefore ...
Snowball sampling. In sociology and statistics research, snowball sampling [1] (or chain sampling, chain-referral sampling, referral sampling [2] [3]) is a nonprobability sampling technique where existing study subjects recruit future subjects from among their acquaintances. Thus the sample group is said to grow like a rolling snowball.
Supply and demand stacked in a conceptual chain. A supply chain, sometimes expressed as a "supply-chain", [1] is a complex logistics system that consists of facilities that convert raw materials into finished products and distribute them [2] to end consumers [3] or end customers. [4] Meanwhile, supply chain management deals with the flow of ...
Probability theory. A Markov chain or Markov process is a stochastic model describing a sequence of possible events in which the probability of each event depends only on the state attained in the previous event. Informally, this may be thought of as, "What happens next depends only on the state of affairs now ."
The countable chain condition means the downwards countable chain condition, in other words no two elements have a common lower bound. This is called the "countable chain condition" rather than the more logical term "countable antichain condition" for historical reasons related to certain chains of open sets in topological spaces and chains in ...
