Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) belongs to the family of Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and has, recently, received a wide popularity in decision making regarding supplier selection. The objective of this study is to apply the methodology of AHP on selecting suppliers to supply materials for the Geological Survey and Mining Company (GSMC). Criteria for rating the suppliers and pairwise comparisons were identified by the members of the Tenders Analysis Committee (TAC). In order to judge the internal validity of the AHP, it was applied manually on a sample of fourteen tenders that were analyzed and executed between 2004-2007, then an interactive computerized package was developed using Access and Visual Basic to analyze the sample tenders. The analysis conducted revealed that the suppliers who were selected by the TAC were the same suppliers chosen by the computerized AHP. These results indicate the validity of the pairewise comparisons of the suppliers' selection criteria as well as the suppliers pairewise comparisons. In addition the computerized package was able to select suppliers within seconds compared to the long time required by TAC to select suppliers. The searchers recommend the application of the computerized AHP as a decision support tool in the process of supplier selection at the GSMC.

Supply Chain Management (SCM) attempts to a create a synchronization of the firm’s processes and those of the supplier to match the flow of materials, services, and information with the customer demand. Due to its importance, the SCM has become inevitable to modern companies. Therefore this research work has been conducted to set a theoretical and applied basis to assist the 1 AYAR factory in adopting the Electronic Supply Chain (e-SC). To accomplish that the searchers applied many tools such as: quantitative and qualitative analysis, process analysis, Visual Basic software, Monte Carlo Simulation to simulation the designed supply chain to compare its performance against the actual performance of the current supply chain

The expansion of the social media environment has created its own linguistic realities which involve more colloquial communication and practical employment of language. This research focuses on nominalizations in detail, which are originally formed words that have been changed for a noun role. These nominalizations are examined within the context of Facebook posts. The research aims to discover the various nominalizations used and how often they appear in a large sample of data from Public Facebook Posts Corpora. Computational linguistics opened new fields of study and enabled researchers to study large amounts of data easily, making it easier to identify patterns. Two computational methods of identifying nominalization in a large dataset w
