This paper develops a two-stage model to consider a franchise/franchisee environment in which supply chains are simultaneously entering the untapped market to produce either identical or highly substitutable products and give franchise to franchisees. Customer demand is elastic, price dependent and customer utility function is based on Huff gravity rule model. The supply chains, in the first st...

This paper develops a decentralized leader-follower game for network design of a competitive supply chain problem in which a new chain as the leader enters a market with one existing supply chain as a follower. Both chains produce an identical product, customer demand is inelastic and customer utility function is based on Huff gravity-based model. The leader wants to shape his network and set a...

In view of the current situation lack suitable calculation models for analysis production dynamics fractured horizontal well with CO2 huff and puff in shale reservoirs，based on process mechanism puff, an analytical model reservoirs was proposed, which took into account changes crude oil viscosity volume caused by difference concentration at different locations formation after soaking...

هدف این پژوهش، طراحی مدل بهینه‌سازی دوسطحی برای زنجیره تأمین است؛ به‌طوری‌که تصمیم‌گیری غیرمتمرکز کمّی و کیفی را در سطوح استراتژی تاکتیکی ادغام کند. کارخانه تولیدی نقش تصمیم‌گیرنده سطح بالا با ارائه تخفیف مقداری، به دنبال ترغیب مشتریان سفارش خرید بیشتر است. پایین، به‌عنوان پایین تمایل دارند مقادیر از طریق مشارکتی، مقیاس اقتصادی دست یابند. یکی نخستین پژوهش­هایی است که یافتن راه‌حل‌های بهینه مسئله...

It is now well known that a healthy urban ecosystem crucial element to healthier citizens (Astell-Burt and Feng 2019), better air (Ning et al. 2016) water quality (Livesley 2016), overall, more resilient environment (Huff 2020). With ecoTeka, an open-source platform for tree management, we leverage the power of OpenStreetMap (Mooney 2015), Mappilary, open data allow decision makers improve thei...
