Each year, disasters (natural or man-made) cause a lot of damage and take many people's lives. In this situation, volunteers come to help. While the proper management is very effective in controlling crisis, lack can create another crisis. Therefore, we introduce model deal with volunteer assignment problem by considering two qualitative objective functions: The first one minimizing mean import...

this paper proposes a bi-objective model for the facility location problem under a congestion system. the idea of the model is motivated by applications of locating servers in bank automated teller machines (atms), communication networks, and so on. this model can be specifically considered for situations in which fixed service facilities are congested by stochastic demand within queueing frame...

Integrating flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) with preventive maintenance (PM) is pondered in this paper. Minimizing the makespan for scheduling part and minimizing the system unavailability for maintenance part are simultaneously under consideration. For doing it, the assignment of n jobs on m machines in production side and executing the PM actions at appropriate time intervals in m...

This paper addresses the stable scheduling of multi-objective problem in flexible job shop scheduling with random machine breakdown. Recently, numerous studies are conducted about robust scheduling; however, implementing a scheme which prevents a tremendous change between scheduling and after machine breakdown (preschedule and realized schedule, respectively) can be critical for utilizing avail...

This paper presents a bi-objective MIP model for the flexible flow shop scheduling  problem (FFSP) in which the total weighted tardiness and the energy consumption are minimized simultaneously. In addition to considering unrelated machines at each stage, the set-up times are supposed to be sequence- and machine-dependent, and it is assumed that jobs have different release tim...

in this paper, a novel mathematical model for a preemption multi-mode multi-objective resource-constrained project scheduling problem with distinct due dates and positive and negative cash flows is presented. although optimization of bi-objective problems with due dates is an essential feature of real projects, little effort has been made in studying the p-mmrcpsp while due dates are included i...

In this paper, a bi-objective multi-product (r,Q) inventory model in which the inventory level is reviewed continuously is proposed. The aim of this work is to find the optimal value for both order quantity and reorder point through minimizing the total cost and maximizing the service level of the proposed model simultaneously. It is assumed that shortage could occur and unsatisfied demand coul...
