A multi-product fish production planning produces simultaneously multi fish products from several classes of raw resources. The goal in production planning is to meet customer demand over a fixed time horizon divided into planning periods by optimizing the trade-off between economic objectives such as production cost and customer satisfaction level. The major decisions are production and invent...

Multi-stage simulation and optimization models are effective for solving long-term financial planning problems. Prominent examples include: asset-liability management for pension plans, integrated risk management for insurance companies, and long-term planning for individuals. Several applications will be briefly mentioned. A multi-stage framework provides advantages over single-period myopic a...

A key element to a company’s success is its ability to match its supply to uncertain demand by utilizing different types of capacity contracts. We consider the design of a multi-product supply chain, for which each product requires one or more process capabilities and each process can get capacity from multiple resources. We present a single-period model to determine the capacity investments fo...

In order to achieve stringent greenhouse gas emission reductions, a transition of our entire energy system from fossil renewable resources needs be designed. Such an brings two main challenges: most renewables generate variable electric energy, yet demand is currently not (carrier mismatch) and does always manifest at the same time as supply (temporal mismatch). Integrating multiple infrastruct...

a comprehensive and integrated study of any supply chain (sc) environment is a vital requirement that can create various advantages for the sc owners. this consideration causes productive managing of the sc through its whole wide components from upstream suppliers to downstream retailers and customers.  on this issue, despite many valuable studies reported in the current literature, considerabl...

strategic environmental assessment can be viewed as a process to integrate the concept ofsustainable development into planning. in this context, sea can be regarded as a method that regulates theplanning process to a state of sustainable development. however, to reach that goal it is necessary to achieve full integration of planning and the sea process.therefore this paper considers the integra...
