The problem that we consider here deals with a single vehicle of a given capacity that needs to serve N customers: some of the customers require a delivery of stock from the warehouse, whereas others need to deliver stock from their location to the warehouse. The objective is to find a shortest feasible tour visiting all customers, emanating from and ending at the warehouse. We introduce an eff...

In this paper, a quadratic programming (FFQP) problem is considered in which all of the cost coefficients, constraints coefficients, and right hand side of the constraints are characterized by L-R fuzzy numbers. Through this paper, the concept of α- level of fuzzy numbers for the objective function, and the order relations on the fuzzy numbers for the constraints are considered.  To optimize th...

an integrated model considers all parameters and elements of different deficiencies in one problem. this paper presents a new integrated model of a supply chain that simultaneously considers facility location, vehicle routing and inventory control problems as well as their interactions in one problem, called location-routing-inventory (lri) problem. this model also considers stochastic demands ...

The major activity of Business Intelligence (BI) is to dig out the various trends and patterns from variety of authentic sources that helps the managers to take appropriate decision in framing the policies for business plans accordingly. Surveys are considered to be an essential part of BI. Surveys conducted amongst different or same groups by different team may yield conflicting reports. Moreo...

Dieses Papier befasst sich mit einer Studie über die Optimierungsmöglichkeiten von Anfragen auf verteilten Data Warehouse Architekturen mittels verschiedenartiger Verteilungsstrategien der beteiligten Tabellen am Beispiel SAP NetWeaver BI.

Context: The Next Release Problem involves determining the set of requirements to implement in the next release of a software project. When the problem was first formulated in 2001, Integer Linear Programming, an exact method, was found to be impractical because of large execution times. Since then, the problem has mainly been addressed by employing metaheuristic techniques. Objective: In this ...

this paper proposes a bi-objective model for the facility location problem under a congestion system. the idea of the model is motivated by applications of locating servers in bank automated teller machines (atms), communication networks, and so on. this model can be specifically considered for situations in which fixed service facilities are congested by stochastic demand within queueing frame...

In this paper, two methods named distance and triangle methods are extended to evaluate the quality of approximation of the Pareto set from solving bi-objective problems. In order to use evaluation methods, a bi-objective problem is needed to define. It is considered the problem of scheduling jobs in a hybrid flow shop environment with sequence-dependent setup times and the objectives of minimi...

This paper presents a new mathematical model for a bi-objective job shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times that minimizes the weighted mean completion time and the weighted mean tardiness time. For solving this multi-objective model, we develop a fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (FMOLP) model. In this problem, a proposed FMOLP method is applied with respect to the o...

We study a bi-objective covering problem stemming from real-world application concerning the design of camera surveillance systems for large-scale outdoor areas. It is in this prohibitively costly to surveil entire area, and therefore necessary be able present decision-maker with trade-offs between total cost portion area that surveilled. The can stated as set two objectives, describing constra...
