Here, we consider single vendor-buyer model with multi-product and multi-customer and multi-facility location-production-distribution problem. It is assumed that the players of the supply chain are coordinated by sharing information. Vendor manufactures produce different products at different plants with limited capacities and then distribute the products to the consumers according to determini...

In the current competitive conditions, all the manufacturers’ efforts are focused on increasing the customer satisfaction as well as reducing the production and delivery costs; thus, there is an increasing concentration on the structure and principles of supply chain (SC). Accordingly, the present research investigated simultaneous optimization of the total costs of a chain and customer satisfa...

We examine the links between residential choice, human capital investment, and production, in a city composed of several communities where the acquisition of different skills is subject to peer goup effects. The equilibrium involves maximal self-segregation by occupation, whereas Pareto efficiency may require identical communities. The inefficiency can even cause entire "ghettos" to drop out of...

Two-dimensional paper chromatography was performed on methanol extracts of leaves of hexaploid bread wheat, Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell. cultivar Chinese Spring, and of the available nullisomic-tetrasomic compensating lines, the tetrasomic lines and the ditelocentric lines. The chromatograms had 27 spots identified as flavonoids and six representing phenolic acids. Some of the areas were com...

When the degree of product differentiation is exogenously fixed, we show that the overseas firm favors exporting at low and high degrees of product differentiation while local production is favored at intermediate values: there can be a “d...
