totoday’s market place is increasingly dynamic and volatile. in this area supply network issues recently have attracted a lot of attention from industrial practitioners and academics worldwide. chaos theory is the study of complex, nonlinear, dynamic systems. for chaotic systems, a tiny change in conditions may result in an enormous change in system output, whereas substantial changes in condit...

Under unbalanced supply condition low order harmonics will appear at the input and output terminals of the PWM AC to DC converter. Based on the positive and negative sequence components, an unbalanced transfer matrix in terms of the input phase voltages is derived. An on-line method using a neural network (NN) is used to implement this transfer matrix. It is shown that by using an additional lo...

The design of closed-loop supply chain networks has attracted more attention in recent years according to business and environmental factors. The significance of accounting for uncertainty and risk in such networks spurs an interest to develop appropriate decision making tools to cope with uncertain and imprecise parameters in closed-loop supply chain network design problems. This paper propose...

Reverse logistics (RL) and closed-loop supply chains (CLSC) have recently received enormous attention due to growing environmental concerns and legislations coupled with the lucrative business potential. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a closed-loop supply chain network design model capable of recovering glass containers. A multi-period multi-product mixed-integer linear programmin...

The aim of this paper is to propose a robust reliable bi-objective supply chain network design (SCND) model that is capable of controlling different kinds of uncertainties, concurrently. In this regard, stochastic bi-level scenario based programming approach which is used to model various scenarios related to strike of disruptions. The well-known method helps to overcome adverse effects of disr...

During the last decade, reverse logistics networks received a considerable attention due to economic importance and environmental regulations and customer awareness. Integration of leading and reverse logistics networks during logistical network design is one of the most important factors in supply chain. In this research, an Integer Linear Programming model is presented to design a multi-layer...

Supply chain network design in perishable product has become a challenging task due to its short life time, spoilage of product in degradation nature and stochastic market demand. This paper focused on designing and optimizing model for perishable product in stochastic demand, which comprises multiple levels from producer, local collector, wholesaler and retailers. The ultimate goal is to optim...

In recent years, the market of electric vehicles (EVs) has developed rapidly across world, and recycling a large number their spent power batteries become an urgent challenge today. The resulting closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) have been considerably studied under different aspects. However, there is lack research investigating vehicle (EVBs) network design uncertainty. This paper focuses on is...
