Health service management plays a crucial role in human life. Blood related operations are considered as one of the important components of the health services. This paper presents a bi-objective mixed integer linear programming model for dynamic location-allocation of blood facilities that integrates strategic and tactical decisions. Due to the epistemic uncertain nature of ...

we study the problem of reconstructing binary images from four projections data in a fuzzy environment. given the uncertainly projections,w e want to find a binary image that respects as best as possible these projections. we provide an iterative algorithm based on fuzzy integer programming and linear membership functions.

The impetus for this research was examining a flow shop problem in which tasks were expected to be successively carried out with no time interval (i.e., no wait time) between them. For this reason, they should be completed by specific dates or deadlines. In this regard, the efficiency of the models was evaluated based on makespan. To solve the NP-Hard problem, we developed two mathematical mode...

this paper uses the l1−norm and the concept of the non-dominated vector, topropose a method to find a well-dispersed subset of non-dominated (wdsnd) vectorsof a multi-objective mixed integer linear programming (momilp) problem.the proposed method generalizes the proposed approach by tohidi and razavyan[tohidi g., s. razavyan (2014), determining a well-dispersed subset of non-dominatedvectors of...

the determination of the ultimate pit limit (upl) is the first step in the open pit mine planning process. in this stage that parts of the mineral deposit that are economic to mine are determined. there are several mathematical, heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms to determine upl. the optimization criterion in these algorithms is maximization of the total profit whilst satisfying the...

in recent years, supplier evaluation and selection, an important element in supply chain management, has been gaining attention in both academic literature and industrial practice. the mixed integer multi-objective non-linear programming model (mimonlp) presented in this paper aimed to evaluate and select the appropriate set of suppliers considering quantitative and qualitative criteria and in ...
