The major oil industry upstream activities include the exploration, drilling, extraction, pipelines installation, and production of crude oil. In this paper, we develop a mathematical model to plan for theseoperations as a crude oil supply chain network design problem.The proposed multi-period mixed integer linear programming model entails both strategic (e.g., facility location and allocation)...

    Discrete facility location,   Distribution center,   Logistics,   Inventory policy,   Queueing theory,   Markov processes, The distribution center location problem is a crucial question for logistics decision makers. The optimization of these decisions needs careful attention to the fixed facility costs, inventory costs, transportation costs and customer responsiveness. In this paper we stu...

• Evidence-theory AI algorithm is introduced to locate the oscillation source. This synthesizes three traditional methods of oscillating source location. paper proposes a multi-oscillation positioning strategy. presents method for localizing sources based on data fusion Dempster–Shafer (D-S) evidence theory. study each bus from system collected by phasor measurement units (PMUs). Then D-S theor...
