Decentralized supply chain management is found to be significantly relevant in today’s competitive markets. Production and distribution planning is posed as an important optimization problem in supply chain networks. Here, we propose a multi-period decentralized supply chain network model with uncertainty. The imprecision related to uncertain parameters like demand and price of the final produc...

the hub location decision is a long term investment and any changes in it take considerable time and money. in real situations, some parameters are uncertain hence, deterministic models cannot be more efficient. the ability of two-stage stochastic programming is to make a long-term decision by considering effects of it in short term decisions simultaneously. in the two-stage stochastic programm...

Intersection left-turning restriction is one of the important ways to solving the road congestion of the builtup area; however, how to set scientifically and rationally is the key. A bi-level programming model was making under the minimum the premise entire traffic network access time by using the stochastic traffic assignment model which is more appropriate. The upper planning described the in...

This paper presents a new bi-level multi-objective model to valorize the microgrid (MG) flexibility based on flexible power management system. It considers presence of renewable and resources including demand response program (DRP), energy storage system integrated unit electric spring with vehicles (EVs) parking (IUEE). The proposed in upper-level maximizes expected profit subject constraints....

Fuzzy linear symmetrical bi-level programming is the most extensive problem in multi-level programming. A new method based on tolerance degree has been introduced in this paper. The method mainly concerns the modeling of complicated Supply Chain with bi-level Stackelberg structure. We analyze the reason lead to uncertainties in supply chain, summarize methods of dealing with uncertainties, and ...

In order to design the traffic network more accurately, the bi-level programming model for the continuous network design problem based on the paired combinatorial Logit stochastic user equilibrium model is proposed in this study. In the model, the paired combinatorial Logit stochastic user equilibrium model which is used to characterize the route choice behaviors of the users is adopted in the ...

This paper proposes a bi-objective reliable supply chain network design that immunizes the network against different sources of uncertainties. In this regard, scenario based stochastic programming method is applied to model different disruption scenarios affecting accurate performance of network stages. Also, reliable and unreliable facilities are suggested for lessening vulnerability of networ...
