In this paper, a bi-objective multi-product single-vendor single-buyer supply chain problem is studied under green vendor-managed inventory (VMI) policy based on the economic production quantity (EPQ) model. To bring the model closer to real-world supply chain, four constraints of model including backordering cost, number of orders, production budget and warehouse space are considered stochasti...

The algebraic arithmetic-geometric mean inequality method (the algebraic AGM method) is used to derive the optimal lot size and the optimal backorders level for the EOQ and EPQ models with backorders and defective items introduced by [6]. The method is easy to derive both the optimal lot size and optimal backorders level without derivatives. AMS Subject Classification: 90B05

The heritability and stability over a 19 year period of long (23-item) and short (12-item) versions of Eysenck s Neuroticism scale were compared in a large Australian twin-family sample. Stability over 19 years of the 23-item Neuroticism scale was 0.62 and for the 12-item scale 0.59. Correlations between scores obtained by mailed questionnaire and telephone interview a few weeks apart were 0.87...

Anxiety about and fear of dental treatment have been recognized as sources of problems in the management of child dental patients. It has been suggested that some individuals who are fearful of or anxious about dental treatment have a constitutional vulnerability to anxiety disorders as is evidenced by the presence of multiple fears, generalized anxiety or panic disorders. Concerning the child ...

This study attempts to determine the optimal production run time for an economic production quantity (EPQ) model with a Poisson breakdown rate, the rework of nonconforming items, and multi-delivery of finished products. It is assumed that nonconforming items can be randomly produced and repaired through a rework process added at the end of the production process. Production equipment is subject...

This study examines the construct validity of the revised version of the Strelau Temperament Inventory (STI-R) and the short scale (STI-RS) , which were introduced by Strelau, Angleitner, Bantelmann and Ruch (1990). Hypotheses about the relationship between the content scales of the STI-R, viz. Strength of Excitation (SE), Strength of Inhibition (SI) , and Mobility ( M O ) of CNSproperties, and...

OBJECTIVES To assess the relationships between the risk factors and the incidence of nonfatal occupational injury of coal mine workers of Shanxi Province. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2013 to December 2013, and 4319 workers were recruited from more than 200,000 coal mine employees who are exposed to continuous potential risk of occupational injuries by using a two-s...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a multi-item economic order quantity (EOQ) model with shortage for a single-buyer single-supplier supply chain under green vendor managed inventory (VMI) policy. This model explicitly includes the VMI contractual agreement between the vendor and the buyer such as warehouse capacity and delivery constraints, bounds for each order, and limits on the number ...
