we present a new model and a new approach for solving fuzzylinear programming (flp) problems with various utilities for the satisfactionof the fuzzy constraints. the model, constructed as a multi-objective linearprogramming problem, provides flexibility for the decision maker (dm), andallows for the assignment of distinct weights to the constraints and the objectivefunction. the desired solutio...

in recent years, supplier evaluation and selection, an important element in supply chain management, has been gaining attention in both academic literature and industrial practice. the mixed integer multi-objective non-linear programming model (mimonlp) presented in this paper aimed to evaluate and select the appropriate set of suppliers considering quantitative and qualitative criteria and in ...

This paper presents a fuzzy goal programming (FGP) methodology for solving bi-level quadratic programming (BLQP) problems. In the FGP model formulation, firstly the objectives are transformed into fuzzy goals (membership functions) by means of assigning an aspiration level to each of them, and suitable membership function is defined for each objectives, and also the membership functions for vec...

the fuzzy linear regression model with fuzzy input-output data andcrisp coefficients is studied in this paper. a linear programmingmodel based on goal programming is proposed to calculate theregression coefficients. in contrast with most of the previous works, theproposed model takes into account the centers of fuzzy data as animportant feature as well as their spreads in the procedure ofconstr...

Recently, various methods have been developed for solving linear programming problems with fuzzy number, such as simplex method and dual simplexmethod. But their computational complexities are exponential, which is not satisfactory for solving largescale fuzzy linear programming problems, especially in the engineering field. A new method which can solve large-scale fuzzy number linear programmi...

This paper investigates the joint optimization problem on logistics infrastructure investment and CO2 emission taxes for a sustainable city network design by goal programming approach where cost recovery, service level reduction goals are involved. The above multi-objective capacity is formulated as bi-level model. Given priority structure of goals, total deviations from predetermined minimized...

the aim of this paper is to evaluate suppliers using a multi objective programming problem and multiple criteria data envelope analysis. toward accomplishing this goal, first a general algorithm is introduced to obtain a continuous set of efficient solutions of the given multi objective programming problem. then, since each member of such set can be viewed as a combination of inputs such as raw...

The Economy of Iran faces many challenges and is predicted to have a negative growth of 1.3 percent, unemployment of above 13 percent, and a wild inflation rate of 27.2 percent in 2013. Various external conditions and bad economic planning have contributed to Iran’s current economic difficulties. To transform the Economy of Iran, the 5th Five-year Development Plan (FYDP) and the 20-year vi...
