Long-term planning is a challenging process for dealing with problems in big industries. Quick and flexible process of responding to the existing variable requirements are considered in such problems. Some of important strategic decisions which should be made in this field are, namely the way that manufacturing facilities should be applied as well as assignment and design the system of delivery...

the sensitivity analysis for multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems is important for two reasons: first, the decision matrix as the source of the results of a decision problem is inaccurate because it sorts the alternatives in each criterion inaccurately. second, the decision maker may change his opinions in a time period because of changes in the importance of the criteria and in the ...

Due to the increasing competition of globalization, selection of the most appropriate supplier is one of the key factors for asupply chain management’s success.
