HLP (hub location problem) tries to find locations of hub facilities and assignment of nodes to extended facilities. Hubs are facilities to collect, arrange, and distribute commodities in telecommunication networks, cargo delivery systems, etc. Hubs are very crucial and their inaccessibility impresses on network whole levels. In this paper, first, total reliability of the network is defined bas...

Fuzzy set theory is primarily concerned with how to quantitatively deal with imprec ision and uncertainty, and offers the decision maker another tool in addition to the classical deterministic and probabilistic mathematical tools that a re used in modeling real-world problems. The present study investigates a fuzzy economic order quantity model for deteriorating items in which demand increases ...

The modern business environment is highly unpredictable. An anticipation approach in a real case study is presented to cope with such instability and minimize the total inventory cost without stock-outs occurring and inventory capacity being exceeded. The anticipation concept is performed using simulation models supported by inventory control algorithms on a selected sample of representative it...

A fuzzy inventory model with price dependent demand is considered. The shortages are allowed . The objective is to determine the optimal total cost and the optimal time length of the plan for the proposed model. The trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are introduced to achieve this objective. The signed distance method is used for defuzzification process. To illustrate the results of this model, sensitiv...

this paper intends to offer a new iterative method based on articial neural networks for finding solution of a fuzzy equations system. our proposed fuzzied neural network is a ve-layer feedback neural network that corresponding connection weights to output layer are fuzzy numbers. this architecture of articial neural networks, can get a real input vector and calculates its corresponding fu...

This study develops an EPQ model for deteriorating items assuming time and stock dependent demand and time varying holding cost under the effect of inflation in fuzzy environment. Shortages are allowed and partially backlogged. In finding the optimal production quantity, deterioration plays a crucial role in inventory management. Therefore handling of deterioration is in highlight and attracted...

Land leveling is one of the most important steps in soil preparation and cultivation. Although land leveling with machines requires considerable amount of energy, it delivers a suitable surface slope with minimal soil deterioration as well as damage to plants and other organisms in the soil. Notwithstanding, in recent years researchers have tried to reduce fossil fuel consumption and its delete...

This paper deals with infinite time horizon fuzzy Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) models for deteriorating items with stock dependent demand rate and nonlinear holding costs by taking deterioration rate 0 θ as a triangular fuzzy number ( ) , , 2 0 0 1 0 δ θ θ δ θ + − , where 0 2 1 , 0 θ δ δ < < are fixed real numbers. The traditional parameters such as unit cost and ordering cost have been kept c...
