This study deals with a two-level supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer. We consider an integrated production inventory system where the manufacturer processes raw materials in order to deliver finished product with imperfect quality to the retailer, where number of defective product has a uniform distribution. The retailer receives product and conducts a 100% inspection....

cooperative alliances also arises from the need to address emerging concerns, such as the increase in shipper requirements and the role of the Internet and ICT in enhancing competition. Thus, a key operational challenge for carrier–carrier collaborative networks is to address these issues within a cooperative alliance and create win–win situations for all members in the alliance. LTL carrier co...

We present the discovery and characterization of six short-period, transiting giant planets from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) -- TOI-1811 (TIC 376524552), TOI-2025 394050135), TOI-2145 88992642), TOI-2152 395393265), TOI-2154 428787891), & TOI-2497 97568467). All orbit bright host stars (8.9 <G< 11.8, 7.7 <K< 10.1). Using a combination time-series photometric spectroscopi...

Multicommodity distribution problem is one of the most interesting and useful models in mathematical programming due to its major role in distribution networks. The purpose of this paper is to describe and solve a special class of multicommodity distribution problems in which shipment of a commodity from a plant to a customer would go through different distribution centers. The problem is t...
