Facility layout planning is an indispensable part of the manufacturing and service operations. In literature, there are two main different approaches for solution facility problem: While first one aims to minimize both total transportation assignment costs in a quantitative way, second maximize closeness relationship more qualitative way. this study, we use these model multi-objective optimizat...

in this paper, the researchers present a multi-objective linear fractional inventory model using fuzzy pro-gramming. the proposed method in this paper is applied to a problem with two objective functions. the re-sulted fuzzy model is transformed into an ordinary linear programming. the implementation of the develop-ing model presented in this paper is demonstrated through the use of some numeri...

In this paper we consider a global optimization approach for solving fuzzy fractional posynomial geometric programming problems. The problem of concern involves positive trapezoidal fuzzy numbers in the objective function. For obtaining an optimal solution, Dinkelbach’s algorithm which achieves the optimal solution of the optimization problem by means of solving a sequence of subproblems ...

this paper presents a framework for long term transmission expansion planning in competitive, electricity markets. transmission lines and phase shifters are taken into account as expansion options. maximization of the network users' benefits, with satisfying security constraints are considered as the criterion for transmission expansion planning. the elements of the objective function are the...

In this paper fully fuzzy linear programming (FFLP) problem with both equality and inequality constraints is considered where all the parameters and decision variables are represented by non-negative trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. According to the current approach, the FFLP problem with equality constraints first is converted into a multi–objective linear programming (MOLP) problem with crisp const...
