population growth as well as development of industry and agriculture has increased the demand and competition over water resources in large watersheds especially in zayandeh rud basin and severely affected on agriculture and environment sectors. hence, providing a best scenario for the allocation of water in this basin is essential. in this study, due to alternating periods of wet, drought and ...

Implementation of the risk management concepts into construction practice may enhance the performance of project by taking appropriate response actions against identified risks. This research proposes a multi-criteria group decision making approach for the evaluation of different alternative response scenarios. To take into account the uncertainties inherent in evaluation process, fuzzy logic i...

This paper investigates the integration of strategic and tactical decisions in the supply chain network design (SCND) considering assembly line balancing (ALB) under demand uncertainty. Due to the decentralized decisions, a novel bi-level stochastic programming (BLSP) model has been developed in which SCND problem has been considered in the upper-level model, while the lower-level model contain...

The present article formulates the scenarios that the organization will be probably facing with, using the uncertain factors in business environment, and it also selects the most robust strategies of organization for dealing with the formulated scenarios using the fuzzy information expressed by the experts in fuzzy inference system. The present article aims to provide a method enabling the scen...

Selecting appropriate technology strategy is crucial to those designing ICT-based offering for specific geographical market. The antecedents of adopting particular technology can be used to identify opportunities and barriers of entry, but further information is needed for technology management on how adoption would take place. In this paper, it is argued that deploying a scenario method facili...

In the eyes of many control scientists, theory scenario approach is a tool for determining sample size in certain randomized control-design methods, where an uncertain variable replaced by random scenarios. This point view rooted history and stands on long track record successful applications. However, last two decades has gone beyond its original motivations applications, unveiled some fundame...
