the purpose of the paper is to survey and discuss inflation targeting in framework of monetary policy rules. this study design an optimal economy model for iran which compare different cases of domestic and cpi inflation targeting, strict and flexible inflation targeting.in relation to this, the optimal monetary policy rule was designed using three constraints neo-keynesian phillips curve, aggr...

the supplier selection is a multi-criteria decision making which consist both qualities and quantities metrics. a lot of investigations have been published in the supplier selection area and, most of the proposed models focused on manufacturing environments and a few papers have been allocated for service industries. proposed system utilizes new method that transfer the house of quality (hoq) a...

Decision Neural Network is a new approach for solving multi-objective decision-making problems based on artificial neural networks. Using inaccurate evaluation data, network training has improved and the number of educational data sets has decreased. The available training method is based on the gradient decent method (BP). One of its limitations is related to its convergence speed. Therefore,...

Fuzziness is ever presented in real life decision making problems. In this paper, we adapt the pessimistic approach tostudy a pair of linear primal-dual problem under intuitionistic fuzzy (I-fuzzy) environment and prove certain dualityresults. We generate the duality results using exponential membership and non-membership functions to represent thedecision maker’s satisfaction and dissatisfacti...

Coordination and harmony between different departments of a company can be an important factor in achieving competitive advantage if the company corrects alignment between strategies of different departments. This paper presents an integrated decision model based on recent advances of geometric programming technique. The demand of a product considers as a power function of factors such as produ...

this study is focused on developing an integrated optimization-simulation based genetic algorithm model (iosga) to develop the operational policies for a multi-purpose reservoir system. the objective function of the optimization model is considered to be a linear function of reliability (rel), resiliency (res), and vulnerability (vul) of the river-reservoir system. genetic algorithm (ga) is emp...

many of the so-called organizational strategies on which companies are dependent, are not endurable. these strategies may not be well structured and cannot stand the test of time. thus, making the right decision is extremely important for strategic planning. the proposed strategy formulation framework in this paper (fuzzy bsq) is a powerful management tool in strategic planning that integrates ...

this paper has been done with the goal of assessment and prioritization of contractors of fars province electricity distribution company. such decision makings are generally complicated and are essentially considered as an multi-criteria decision making process. if the tasks assigned to contractors are not performed appropriately, it would lead to loss. in other words, contractors who cause the...
