Purpose- To gain more profit and market share, manufacturers wish to mobilize as many resources as they can to satisfy every manufacturing order. As manufacturing is nowadays distributed to several sites, where each site manufactures the intermediate product to assemble the final product. Methodology- Producers, therefore require to transport these products between these sites as well as distribute the final products to faraway customers. Therefore, production and transportation planning need to be coordinated. Manufacturing requires the planning of unmovable resources (machines) with fixed sequences of production routing steps, however transportation requires the planning of moveable resources (Vehicles). Findings- Each transport request is different from another with different origin and destination. Hence, it is needed to find the routing (route from origin to destination) of each transport request dynamically. Practical Implications- This paper is dedicated to present a route finding tool called Path Finder in order to provide the shortest route by distance or time or both for transportation planning.

The use of smartphones and android applications has become a part of our everyday life. People use it for communication, entertainment and socialization purposes. Many of these applications available in online application markets can be used to broadcast live video and most of these applications are for socializing purposes. In this paper an android application idea is presented to broadcast a video to help in stopping street crime. SVS(Social Video Streaming) enables mobile users to stream live videos of street crimes anywhere, using 3G/4GLTE or Wi-Fi connection This proposed prototype will provide a facility of live streaming of crimes onto a server through a mobile device which will let police or law enforcement agents get information on the spot to enhance a more robust policing. SVS is developed to enable users participate in reducing street crime. It uses the RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) to transmit data in packets over a streaming media server.
