A Bi-objective Model for Mineral Supply Chain Network Design Considering Social Responsibility and solving by a Novel Fuzzy Multi-choice Goal Programming method

The main objective of this research is effective planning as well as greener production and distribution of mineral products in supply chain network. Through a case study in cement industry, it considers the design of the mining supply chain network including several factories wi

Optimum Maintenance Strategy Selection using a Hybrid Approach based on Analytical Hierarchy Process and Revised Multi Choice Goal Programming

This study aims to select optimal maintenance strategy for components of an electric motor of the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company. In this regard, a method based on revised multi choice goal programming and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is presented. Sin

An improved multi-choice goal programming approach for supplier selection problems

Supply chain master planning considering material-financial flows

In this study, tactical decisions considering the material and financial flows in a supply chain have been made. To achieve these aims and some effective solutions, a multi-objective mathematical model proposed for an integrated supply chain master planning problem. The multi-pro

Using Crowding Distance to Improve Multi-Objective PSO with Local Search

Biology inspired algorithms have been gaining popularity in recent decades and beyond. These methods are based on biological metaphor such as Darwinian evolution and swarm intelligence. One of the most recent algorithms in this category is the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). P

Multi-Paradigm Logic Programming Call-by-Name Specialization of Functional Logic Programs

Partial evaluation is a method for program specialization based on fold/unfold transformations [4, 15]. Partial evaluation of functional programs uses only static values of given data to specialize the program. In logic programming, the so-called static/dynamic distinction is har

Multi-Objective Optimization for Healthcare Waste Management Network Design with Sustainability Perspective

Healthcare Waste Management (HWM) is considered as one of the important urban decision-making problems due to its potential environmental, economic, and social risks damages. The network HWM system involves decisions such facility locating, inventory management, transportation ma

A Quadratic Programming Bibliography

A method for restoring an optical image which is subjected to low-pass frequency filtering is presented. It is assumed that the object whose image is restored is of finite spatial extent. The problem is treated as an algebraic image-restoration problem which is then solved as a q

Goal-Induced Risk Taking 1 Running Head: GOALS AND RISK TAKING Goal-Induced Risk Taking in Strategy Choice

We test whether specific, challenging goals increase risk taking. We propose that goals serve as reference points, creating a region of perceived losses for outcomes below a goal (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979; Tversky & Kahneman, 1992). According to the Prospect Theory value function
