an integrated model considers all parameters and elements of different deficiencies in one problem. this paper presents a new integrated model of a supply chain that simultaneously considers facility location, vehicle routing and inventory control problems as well as their interactions in one problem, called location-routing-inventory (lri) problem. this model also considers stochastic demands ...

Within the competition in today’s business environment, the design of supply chains becomes more complex than before. This paper deals with the retailer’s location problem when customers choose their vendors, and inventory costs have been considered for retailers. In a competitive location problem, price and location of facilities affect demands of customers; consequently, simultaneous optimiza...

In this paper, we present a novel multi-objective mathematical model for capacitated single allocation hub location problem. There are the vehicle capacity constraint and capacity restrictions amount of the incoming flow to the hub while the balancing requirements of incoming quantities of flow to the each hub is considered. Moreover, there is a set of available capacities for each potential hu...

In today’s competitive business environment, the design and management of supply chainnetwork is one of the most important challenges that managers encounter. The supply chain network shouldbe designed for satisfying of customer demands as well as minizing the total system costs. This paper presentsa multi-period multi-stage supply chain network design problem under demand uncertainty. The prob...
