Real world production planning is involved in optimizing different objectives while considering a spectrum of parameters, decision variables, and constraints of the corresponding cases. This comes from the fact that production managers desire to utilize from an ideal production plan by considering a number of objectives over a set of technological constraints. This paper presents a new multi-ob...

This paper deals with a multi-period fixed charge production-distribution problem associated with backorder and inventories. The objective is to determine the size of the shipments from each supplier and backorder and inventories at each period, so that the total cost incurred during the entire period towards production, transportation, backorder and inventories is minimised. A 0-1 mixed intege...

This paper presents a multi objective geometric programming model which determines the product`s selling price in two markets. We assume demand is a function of price and marketing expenditure in two markets. The cost of production is also assumed to be a function of demands in both markets. Our model is a posynomial function which is solved using Geometric Programming (GP). In our GP implement...

Due to the increase of a variety of demands from downstream customers, the enterprises are necessary to expand more capacity of their factories by way of adding more plants or outsourcing. Many enterprises encounter great difficulties in production planning because manufacturing environments have changed from traditional single-plant to current multi-plants. Therefore, the company may possess m...

It is important to program properly during process of oilfield development. Based on the fuzzy understanding about the reservoir and the uncertainty in the actual environment, a kind of fuzzy multi-objective optimization model of production distribution was proposed in this paper, which considers the objectives of production maximization, cost minimization and profit maximization. By using the ...

using the mathematic techniques such as fuzzy approach has useful outcomes for production planning in different sources. in this paper lgp1 was used to model the objectives such as: avoidance of shortage or surplus of demand, access to maximum of income, using the normal capacity of production and organizing the inventory of warehouse, within the framework of goal constraints like balancing be...

Providing an efficient production plan that integrates the procurement and distribution plans into a unified framework is critical to achieving competitive advantage. In this paper,we consider a supply chainmaster planningmodel consisting ofmultiple suppliers, one manufacturer andmultiple distribution centers.Wefirst propose a newmulti-objective possibilisticmixed integer linear programming mod...
