This paper presents a new decision making approach for group multi-criteria evaluation for green supply chain management strategies, which clubs green procurement , manufacturing , green service to customer and environmental management process with order allocation for dynamic supply chains to cope market variations. More specifically, the developed approach imitates the knowledge acquisition a...

The rigorous pressure for outsourcing and competitive marketing has exerted firms to rethink about supplier selection strategies. To date, an extensive range of criteria and methods have been proposed to solve supplier selection and order allocation problems. The supplier selection problem is often faced by ambiguity and vagueness in practice. Very often decision makers express their preference...

The Bandwidth Allocation Models (MAM, RDM, G-RDM and AllocTC-Sharing) are management alternatives currently available which propose different resource (bandwidth) allocation strategies in multiservice networks. The BAM adoption by a network is typically a management choice and configuration task executed by the network operations and management system setup in a static or nearly static way. Thi...

Creation of plans and schedules for systems with random phenomena is a research area that is gaining considerable attention. Standard techniques of scheduling and exact methods cannot be utilised for stochastic systems. The measure of robustness is an important indicator of the schedule, representing the resistance of the schedule to random phenomena that occur during the execution of the sched...

We consider situations where a society allocates a finite units of an indivisible good among agents, and each agent receives at most one unit of the good. For example, imagine that a government allocates a fixed number of licences to private firms, or imagine that a government distributes equally divided lands to households. We show that the Vickrey allocation rule is the unique allocation rule...

Reliability allocation has an essential connection to design for reliability and is an important activity in the product design and development process. In determining the reliability of subsystems or components on the basis of goal reliability, attention must be paid to failure effect, failure information, and improvement opportunities based upon real potentials for reliability improvement. In...

Capital allocation techniques are of central importance in portfolio management and risk-based performance measurement. In this paper we propose an axiom system for capital allocation and analyze its satisfiability and completeness: it is shown that for a given risk measure ρ there exists a capital allocation Λρ which satisfies the main axioms if and only if ρ is sub-additive and positively hom...

In this paper, the dynamic allocation of camera resources for moving objects is presented as a model of partial constraint satisfaction problem. The purpose of the camera allocation is described as some simple constraint. The solution is reflexively searched in order to decide the allocation of each camera. The search neighborhood of the solution is limited to the partial solution for each came...
