This paper deals with a multi-objective integrated inventory model to coordinate a two-stage supply chain including a single buyer and multiple vendors. The earlier work on the problem is limited to consider only one type ...

Industrial clusters bring member firms the opportunities and advantages to save resources and increase competitiveness through cooperation and joint activities. One of these opportunities is knowledge exchange, using shared ...

The concepts of fortification and partial interdiction have not been considered concurrently in previous studies. In this paper for the first time we added the fortification and partial interdiction concepts to interdiction ...

In this paper, the single machine scheduling problem with convex multi-resource dependent processing times, subject to meeting job deadlines is considered. The objective is to minimize the total cost, including the resource ...

Although a machine-tool selection and operation allocation problem of a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is known for its complexity, scheduling of these systems is more operative and more complex. This paper considers ...

The multi-factory supply chain problem is investigated to determine the production and transportation scheduling of jobs which are allowed to be transported by batches. This is a mixed-integer optimization problem, which ...

Material removal rate and surface roughness are the most important performance measures in nano-finishing processes and these are largely influenced by the process parameters. The optimum combination of process parameters ...

The aim of the present paper is to propose a location–allocation model, for a capacitated health care system. This paper develops a discrete modeling framework to determine the optimal number of facilities among candidates ...
