This study considers a real-world multi-period, multi-product production planning problem involving set-up constraints, with random yield and demand. The resulting large-scale multi-stage stochastic mixed-integer model cannot be solved by using the mixed-integer solver of a commercial optimization package. The production planning model is a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model without any spec...

This paper presents a fuzzy multi-criteria group decision making method for evaluating the performance of Cloud services in an uncertain environment. Intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are used to better model the subjectivity and imprecision in the performance evaluation process. An effective algorithm is developed based on the technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution and t...

strategic environmental assessment can be viewed as a process to integrate the concept ofsustainable development into planning. in this context, sea can be regarded as a method that regulates theplanning process to a state of sustainable development. however, to reach that goal it is necessary to achieve full integration of planning and the sea process.therefore this paper considers the integra...
