This paper uses the weighted L$_1-$norm to propose an algorithm for finding a well-dispersed subset of non-dominated solutions of multiple objective mixed integer linear programming problem. When all variables are integer it finds the whole set of efficient solutions. In each iteration of the proposed method only a mixed integer linear programming problem is solved and its optimal solutions gen...

this paper studies the multi-stage supply chain system (msscm) controlled by the kanban mechanism. in the kanban system, decision making is based on the number of kanbans as well as batch sizes. a kanban mechanism is employed to assist in linking different production processes in a supply chain system in order to implement the scope of just-in-time (jit) philosophy. for a msscm, a mixed-integer...

this paper addresses the mixed integer reliability redundancy allocation problems to determine simultaneous allocation of optimal reliability and redundancy level of components based on three objective goals. system engineering principles suggest that the best design is the design that maximizes the system operational effectiveness and at the same time minimizes the total cost of ownership (tco...
