In this study a supply chain network design model has been developed considering both forward and reverse flows through the supply chain. Total Cost, environmental factors such as CO2 emission, and social factors such as employment and fairness in providing job opportunities are considered in three separate objective functions. The model seeks to optimize the facility location proble...

Focusing on production processes is the decisive factor in managing an efficient supply chain that leads to company's success. The objective constraints model include all goals company seeks achieve and level for each. In addition clarifying contribution of each decision variable achieving specified levels different goals, conclusions reached are results prove possibility solving a problem. App...

In multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs), non-domina-ted sorting is one of the critical steps to locate efficient solutions. A large percentage computational cost MOEAs on non-dominated for it involves numerous comparisons. By now, there are more than ten different algorithms, but their numerical performance comparing with each other not clear yet. It nece...

This paper proposes a multi-objective model for the economic-statistical design of the variable sample size and sampling interval multivariate exponentially weighted moving average control chart by using double warning lines. The Markov chain approach is used to obtain the statistical properties. We extend the Lorenzen and Vance cost function considering multiple assignable causes and multivari...
