Selecting an appropriate strategy is very important to the Green Manufacturing implementation. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis is a commonly used tool for strategic management. Here SWOT analysis in combination with AHP is used to the selection of GM strategy. The strategic factors system of SWOT analysis for GM strategy is constructed by analyzing internal and external environments of the enterprise. Then AHP based SWOT analysis is introduced in detail. A case study demonstrates the application of AHP based SWOT analysis in GM strategy selection and shows its feasibility and validity.

Remanufacturing is a new manufacturing mode in modern manufacturing environment. This paper had a survey on the uncertain problems in project-based remanufacturing system based on the analysis of the conception of project-based remanufacturing. On the basis, the uncertain problems in project-based remanufacturing systems, which including the uncertain factors, the description approaches for uncertain factors and the strategies to reduce the uncertain influence factors, was studied in detail based on the characteristic of project-based remanufacturing systems.

12], the impact of weight loss during neoadjuvant CRT on the long-term survival of patients with esophageal cancer remains unknown. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to investigate the association of weight loss during neoadjuvant CRT with survival outcomes in patients with esophageal cancer. Materials & Methods Study design and participants A total of 102 patients with esophageal squamous cell cancer undergoing neoadjuvant CRT followed by surgery at Sichuan Cancer Hospital & Institute from March 2003 to August 2017 were retrospectively identified. Enrolled patients met the following inclusion criteria: ① newly diagnosed, histologically-confirmed primary esophageal squamous cell cancer; ② clinically stage II or III before treatment according to the 2002 American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging System (version 6.0); ③ Karnofsky performance score ≥ 80; and ④ patients underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by radical esophagectomy. The exclusion criteria were as follows: ① missing weight records pre-or post-CRT; ② metastatic disease before or during preoperative treatment; ③ nonsquamous cell carcinoma; and ④ other active malignancy (except for basal cell carcinoma of the skin). The patient Abstract: Objective This study aimed to determine the impact of weight loss during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy on the survival of patients with esophageal carcinoma. Methods We retrospectively examined 102 consecutive patients with esophageal carcinoma who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by radical resection at Sichuan Cancer Hospital & Institute between 2003 and 2017. The patients were divided into three groups based on the amount of body weight lost during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy: severe weight loss (>10%), high weight loss (5%~10%), and low weight loss (< 5%). The correlations of weight loss with toxicity, progressionfree survival, and overall survival were investigated. Results The median overall survival was 49.7 months in the low weight loss group compared with 35.4 and 25.1 months in the high and severe weight loss groups (P = 0.041). The 1-year overall survival rates in the severe, high, and low weight loss groups were 62.5%, 85.0%, and 90.7%, respectively; the corresponding 3-year overall survival rates were 21.9%, 47.3%, and 68.8%, respectively, and the corresponding 5-year overall survival rates were 21.9%, 31.0%, and 44.4%, respectively. The multivariate analysis indicated that a pathological complete response and severe weight loss were independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Any leukopenia (P = 0.024), leukopenia of at least grade 3 (P = 0.021), and anemia (P = 0.042) occurred more frequently in the severe weight loss group. Conclusions Weight loss during neoadjuvant CRT is an independent and adverse prognostic factor in esophageal carcinoma patients, whereas a stable weight confers a better prognosis.

To effectively realize the business integration and collaboration in manufacturing enterprises, this paper provides an e-Enterprise framework for manufacturing enterprises and has a deep study on the application system integration mode and implementation technologies based on flexible information integration approach for e-Enterprise. With the flexible information technology, the integration between information systems transformed into the integration between adapters which dependent on the data itself and unrelated to the concrete information system, which helps the information systems to integrate with each other agilely on demand. Furthermore, the integrated operation mode of e-Enterprise in manufacturing enterprises is deeply studied. Finally, the e-Enterprise framework and operation mode is applied in an electric appliance set manufacturing enterprise in Chongqing, and achieves well application effects.

To solve the problems in manufacturing execution system (MES) design and application, two key issues for MES is studied in this paper. Firstly, a six-layered service-oriented MES system architecture is putforward, which includes enterprises resource layer, component layer, service layer, business process choreography layer, presentation layer and system integration framework layer. Secondly, a multi-view system implementation mode for MES is studied from the aspects of function view, organization view, supporting technologies view and implementation process view. Finally, a case study is provided for its application.
