This paper addresses the study of a linkage network of biserial queues linked to a common server with a multistage flowshop scheduling system having ‘m’ machines or servers in series under fuzzy environment. Waiting lines or queues are commonly occurred both in everyday life and in a variety of business and industrial situations. Also, the flowshop scheduling is an important task when a number ...

This study considers a reliable location – inventory problem for a supply chain system comprising one supplier, multiple distribution centers (DCs), and multiple retailers in which we determine DCs location, inventory replenishment decisions and assignment retailers to DCs, simultaneously. Each DC is managed through a continuous review (S, Q) inventory policy. For tackling real world conditions...
