Taking into account competitive markets, manufacturers attend more customer’s personalization. Accordingly, build-to-order systems have been given more attention in recent years. In these systems, the customer is a very important asset for us and has been paid less attention in the previous studies. This paper introduces a new build-to-order problem in the supply chain. This study focuses on bo...

In this paper we present parallel genetic algorithm that was used to the task of evolving imperative sort programs. A variety of interesting lessons were learned. With proper selection of the primitives, sorting programs were evolved that are both general and non-trivial. Unique aspect of our approach is that we represent the individual programs with simple assembler code, rather than usual tre...

In today’s competitive world, the need to supply chain management (SCM) is more than ever. Since the purpose of logistic problems is minimizing the costs of organization to create favorable time and place for the products, SCM seek to create competitive advantage for their organizations and increase their productivity. This paper proposes a new multi-objective model for integrated forward / rev...

an alternative for decreasing risk for knowledge workers is effective & optimized work break.major performance criteria in r&d; based organization is successful projects. selection of opproporiate members can be a most effect on the projects achievement. but as the selection of r&d; special members lead to decrease of risk, repeatative participation of this people in the same project lead to kn...

in this paper, a comprehensive model is proposed to design a network for multi-period, multi-echelon, and multi-product inventory controlled the supply chain. various marketing strategies and guerrilla marketing approaches are considered in the design process under the static competition condition. the goal of the proposed model is to efficiently respond to the customers’ demands in the presenc...

the vehicle driving comfort has become one of the important factors of vehicle quality and receives increasing attention. in this paper, optimal points of vehicle suspension parameters are generated using modified non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (nsga-ii) for pareto optimization of 5-degree of freedom vehicle vibration model considering three conflicting functions simultaneously. in thi...

This paper considers a multi-period, multi-product inventory-routing problem in a two-level supply chain consisting of a distributor and a set of customers. This problem is modeled with the aim of minimizing bi-objectives, namely the total system cost (including startup, distribution and maintenance costs) and risk-based transportation. Products are delivered to customers by some heterogeneous ...
