classical deterministic inventory models consider the demand rate to be either constant or time-dependent but independent from the stock status. however, for a certain type of inventory, the demand rate may be in-fluenced by the stock level. also in many real-life problems, some products such as fruits, vegetables, phar-maceuticals and volatile liquids continuously deteriorate to evaporation, o...

in this paper, the researchers present a multi-objective linear fractional inventory model using fuzzy pro-gramming. the proposed method in this paper is applied to a problem with two objective functions. the re-sulted fuzzy model is transformed into an ordinary linear programming. the implementation of the develop-ing model presented in this paper is demonstrated through the use of some numeri...

data envelopment analysis operates as a tool for appraising the relative efficiency of a set of homogenous decision making units. this methodology is applied widely in different contexts. regarding to its logic, dea allows each dmu to take its optimal weight in comparison with other dmus while a similar condition is considered for other units. this feature is a bilabial characteristic which opt...

‎In recent years‎, ‎many methods have been studied for solving differential equations of fractional order‎, ‎such as Lie group method, ‎invariant subspace method and numerical methods‎, ‎cite{6,5,7,8}‎. Among this‎, ‎the method of characteristics is an efficient and practical method for solving linear fractional differential equations (FDEs) of multi-order‎. In this paper we apply this method f...

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 studies a new multi-objective fuzzy optimization prob- lem. the objective function of this study has dierent levels. therefore, a suitable optimized solution for this problem would be an optimized solution with preemptive priority. since, the feasible domain is non-convex; the tra- ditional methods cannot be applied. we study this problem and determine some special structures related...

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...

Linear bilevel programming is a decision making problem with a two-level decentralized organization. The leader is in the upper level and the follower, in the lower level. This study addresses linear bilevel multi-objective multi-follower programming (LB-MOMFP) problem, a special case of linear bilevel programming problems with one leader and multiple followers where each decision maker has sev...
