The theory of constraints is an approach to production planning and control that emphasizes on the constraints to increase throughput by effectively managing constraint resources. One application in theory of constraints is product mix decision. Product mix influences the performance measures in multi-product manufacturing system. This paper presents an alternative approach by using of goal pro...

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...

The urban development process displays regressive tacit-dominant knowledge areas and their tacit level would impede their movements during multi-level knowledge transfers among stakeholders. The accuracy of a knowledge may be distorted when recipient stakeholders fail to understand a specific knowledge for its purpose. Earlier studies by the authors had highlighted complex yet dynamic environme...

in this paper, we use parametric form of fuzzy number, then aniterative approach for obtaining approximate solution for a classof nonlinear fuzzy fredholmintegro-differential equation of the second kindis proposed. this paper presents a method based on newton-cotesmethods with positive coefficient. then we obtain approximatesolution of the nonlinear fuzzy integro-differential equations by an it...

The smooth running of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) presents a significant challenge irrespective of the technological and human resources they may have at their disposal. SMEs continuously encounter daily internal and external undesirable events and unwanted setbacks to their operations that detract from their business performance. These are referred to as ‘disturbanc...
