Once dependent on family to bury and memorialize the dead, caring for the deceased has become increasingly precarious in the wake of a decreasing and aging population, a trend towards single households, and downsizing of social relationality—including the temple parishioner system once key in mortuary rituals. In the new “ending” marketplace emerging today to help Japanese manage this precarity, automated graves offer customers a convenient burial spot in an urban ossuary where ashes, interred in a deposit box, are automatically transferred to a grave upon visitation. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, the article examines the just-in-time delivery system at work in automated graves, arguing that the mechanism serves as a social prosthesis, propping up the allure of social caring for the dead, even for those whose ashes are never visited by human relations. With over 30 such institutions now operating in Japan, automated graves are a sign of changing sociality between the living and the dead.

You're preparing brunch on Sunday morning. The store avocado looks ready and ready to feed. So it's all brown mush instead of bright green skin. You throw it out and try an avocado-free dinner. Overall, 1⁄3 of all foodstuffs generated are lost. But since supply chains and traditional stores encourage fresh products to stay for days on shelves, is it surprising that food comes in the trash? We use a supply chain just-in-time. Which reduces waste and ensures freshness. In this research paper we are going to study the just-in-time delivery system in perishable goods.

Статья посвящена вопросам применения информационных логистических технологий в логистических системах, их роли в оптимизации логистических процессов. Подробно рассмотрены такие логистические технологии, как система поставки точно в срок (just in time), система канбан , планируемая система доставки SDP, система DRP, система LRP, метод Парето (Pareto) и метод АВСанализа, принцип дифференциации ассортимента с использованием анализа ХУZ, метод быстрого реагирования QRM. Обоснованы преимущества, которые обеспечат компании представленные логистические технологии. За счет развития информационных логистических технологий возможна эффективная организация товародвижения на рынках с высокой конкуренцией, и рационализация цепей поставок, сокращение логистических издержек и появление новых источников доходов. Учитывая, что цифровизация становится ключевым трендом преобразований в логистическом секторе, в статье исследованы перспективы внедрения новой бизнесмодели болкчейн. The article is devoted to the use of information logistics technologies in logistics systems, their role in optimizing logistics processes. Logistical technologies such as the justintime delivery system, the kanban system, the planned SDP delivery system, the DRP system, the LRP system, the Pareto method (Pareto) and the ABC analysis method, the principle of product differentiation are considered in detail. using XYZ analysis, QRM rapid response method. The advantages that the companies provided by logistics technologies will provide are justified. Due to the development of information logistics technologies, it is possible to efficiently organize product distribution in highly competitive markets and streamline supply chains, reduce logistics costs, and create new sources of revenue. Given that digitalization is becoming the key trend of transformation in the logistics sector, the article explores the prospects for introducing a new business model, Bolkchain.

In the on-site rebar delivery system, as the common method of rebar supply in the construction industry, reinforced steel bars are delivered in large batches from supplier's facilities through contractor's warehouse to the construction site. Rebars are then fabricated on-site and installed after assembly. In the new delivery system, called prefabrication Just-In-Time (prefab-JIT) system, the off-site cut and bend along with frequent rebar delivery to the site are applied in order to improve the process and increase its efficiency. The main objective of this paper is to assess and compare the environmental impacts resulting from the air emissions associated with the two rebar delivery systems in a case study construction project. Environmental impact categories of interest include global warming, acidification, eutrophication, and smog formation. A process-based cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment methodology is applied to perform the analysis. The results show that the prefab-JIT rebar delivery system causes less contribution to all mentioned environmental impact categories compared with a traditional on-site delivery system.
