closed-loop supply chain network (clscn) design aims at incorporating environmental considerations into the traditional supply chain design by including recycling, disassembly and reuse activities. in a clscn, the environmental considerations can also be facilitated by resorting to environmentally friendly materials and enhancing product reuse through the design of an appropriate product recove...

By means of a kind of new idea, we redefine some kinds of fuzzy ideals in a ring and investigate some of their related properties. The concepts of strong prime (semiprime) generalized fuzzy (bi-, quasi-) ideals in rings are introduced. In particular, we discuss the relationships between strong prime (resp., semiprime) generalized fuzzy (bi-, quasi-) ideals and prime (resp. semiprime) generalize...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a managerial powerful tool for assess the performance of decision making units (dmus). nowadays, multi-objective dea models are an attractive technique for evaluation quantity and quality aspects of performance analysis. but these models are in static. in this paper, we want to present a proposed fuzzy dynamic multi-objective dea model in which data are changi...

The notion of bipolar fuzzy set was initiated by Lee (2000) as a generalization of the notion fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets, which have drawn attention of many mathematicians and computer scientists. In this paper, we initiate a study on bipolar ( ,   )-fuzzy sets in -semihypergroups. By using the concept of bipolar ( ,   )-fuzzy sets (Yaqoob and Ansari, 2013), we introduce the ...

In this research, a bi-objective model is developed to deal with a supply chain including multiple suppliers, multiple manufacturers, and multiple customers, addressing a multi-site, multi-period, multi-product aggregate production planning (APP) problem. This bi-objective model aims to minimize the total cost of supply chain including inventory costs, manufacturing costs, work force costs, hir...

In this paper we have generalized the concepts of   q   , -fuzzy ideals,   q   , -fuzzy quasi-ideals and   q   , -fuzzy bi-ideals by introducing the concepts of   k q   , -fuzzy ideals,   k q   , -fuzzy quasiideals and   k q   , -fuzzy bi-ideals in ternary semigroups and several related properties are investigated. Different characterizations of regular and weakly ...

Using alternative fuel vehicles is one of the ways to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels which have many negative environmental effects. An alternative fuel vehicle needs special planning for its refueling operations because of some reasons, e.g. limited number of refueling stations, uncertain refueling queue times in the stations, variable alternative fuel prices among the stations, etc. I...
