[ 1 ] - Critical Path Method for Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem with Preemption

This paper addressed a Flexible Job shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) with the objective of minimization of maximum completion time (Cmax) which job splitting or lot streaming is allowed. Lot streaming is an important technique that has been used widely to reduce completion time of a production system. Due to the complexity of the problem; exact optimization techniques such as branch and bound alg...

[ 2 ] - A Non-linear Integer Bi-level Programming Model for Competitive Facility Location of Distribution Centers

The facility location problem is a strategic decision-making for a supply chain, which determines the profitability and sustainability of its components. This paper deals with a scenario where two supply chains, consisting of a producer, a number of distribution centers and several retailers provided with similar products, compete to maintain their market shares by opening new distribution cent...

[ 3 ] - Joint Pricing and Inventory Control for Seasonal and Substitutable Goods Mentioning the Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Substitution

Nowadays many well-known firms may produce similar products at different prices in order to remain in the competitive environment. The price differences may cause substitution condition which motivates the customers to substitute the similar cheaper product with an expensive one leading to an environment which is known as “customer-based price driven substitution”. This research proposes a new ...

[ 4 ] - Market power influential approach using game theory in a two competing supply chains with multi-echelons under centralized/decentralized environments

This paper is considering the competition between two multi-echelon supply-chains on price and service under balance and imbalance of market power between the chains which are analyzing through Nash and Stackelberg game approach. The problem is categorized as the centralized or decentralized structure of each chain, which means a few different possible scenarios are developing based on the Nash...
