one of the main problems of supply chain network design is uncertainty. to consider this, designing of a three-echelon supply chain in a fuzzy environment is discussed in this paper. since satisfaction of some constraints in supply chain is vital and necessary, so this research proposes a direct solution approach to find the solution which represents the trade-off between feasibility degree of ...

Nowadays, Economic systems play an important role in environment's field. Along with the rapid change in global manufacturing scenario, environmental and social issues are becoming more important in managing any business. Increasing pressures and challenges to improve economic and environmental performance have been caused developing countries in generally in particular to consider and to start...

In the recent decades, rapid population growth has led to the significant increase in food demand. Food supply chain has always been one of the most important and challenging management issues. Product with short age, especially foodstuffs, is the most problematic challenges for supply chain management. These challenges are mainly due to the diversity in the number of these goods, the special n...

This paper designs a mathematical model for supply chain network design problem including plants, distributors and customers in fuzzy environment. Each plant and distributor has several levels capacities. A multi-mode demand strategy is considered for the customers where only one of the modes is to be selected for each customer. Considering the acceptance degree of fuzzy constraints violated, a...

In this paper, a novel chance-constrained programming model has been proposed for handling uncertainties in green closed loop supply chain network design. addition to locating the facilities and establishing flow between them, also determines transportation mode facilities. The objective functions are applied minimize expected value variance of total cost CO 2 released is controlled by providin...
