In recent researches, vendor managed inventory (VMI) policy is rarely considered for deteriorating items.   This study considered the supply chain partner’s collaboration via a VMI system and provided an EOQ model for a two-level supply chain (single supplier - single retailer) to examine the inventory management proceedings for VMI and non-VMI supply chains. By a new approach in modeling, the ...

(2011). Monkeys (Macaca mulatta and Cebus apella) and human adults and children (Homo sapiens) enumerate and compare subsets of moving stimuli based on numerosity. Frontiers in Psychology, 2:61. Within the set of studies that involve judgments between sets of stimuli, however, there must be a distinction made between those studies that require animals to discriminate the number of items from th...

This paper proposes a compromise model, based on the technique for order preference through similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) methodology, to solve the multi-objective large-scale linear programming (MOLSLP) problems with block angular structure involving fuzzy parameters. The problem involves fuzzy parameters in the objective functions and constraints. This compromise programming method is ba...

This study presents a capacitated multi-facility location-allocation problem with stochastic demands based on a well-known distribution function. In this discrete environment, besides the capacitated facilities, we can employee the capacitated sub-source of each facility for satisfying demands of customers. The objective function is to find the optimal locations of facilities among a finite num...

in this paper, a new method based on parametric form for approximate solu-tion of fuzzy linear matrix equations (flmes) of the form ax = b; where ais a crisp matrix, b is a fuzzy number matrix and the unknown matrix x one,is presented. then a numerical example is presented to illustrate the proposedmodel.

In this paper, we show a procedure for solving multilevel fractional programming problems in a large hierarchical decentralized organization using fuzzy goal programming approach. In the proposed method, the tolerance membership functions for the fuzzily described numerator and denominator part of the objective functions of all levels as well as the control vectors of the higher level decision ...

The development of the inventory model started when Harris introduced classic model. It was firstly published by Wilson using optimization method. He derived a mathematical equation to obtain economic order quantities. Later, this is known as Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) or Model. EOQ has some limitations. assumed that items do not have physical changes during planning period. This assumption ...
