The multi-objective optimization problem is the main purpose of generating an optimal set of targets known as Pareto optimal frontier to be provided the ultimate decision-makers. The final selection of point of Pareto ...

The present work compared input- and output-based integrated principal component analysis-data envelopment analysis (PCA-DEA) approaches. The approach minimizing the number of decision-making units (DMUs) identified as ...

We aim to rank the factors influencing a customer's selection of Islamic banks. Islamic banks have an Islamic interest-free basis. Reviewing papers in the literature review shows a gap in the customer satisfaction area in ...

In this research, lifetime performance index (LPI) data are used to present a quick switching sampling (QSS) plan based on a type‐II censoring life test and the assumption that the lifetime of units follows the Weibull ...

This study aims to apply Grey system based on modified E-S-Qual model to analyze e-service quality.Questionnaires on the basis of E-S-Qual model, which consisted in 7 dimensions, were distributed among customers of 5040.ir, ...

The assessment and selection of green supplier development programs are an intriguing and functional research subject. This paper proposes a group decision-making approach considering possibilistic statistical concepts ...

Satisfying customer demand necessitates manufacturers understanding the importance of Available-To-Promise (ATP). It directly links available resources to customer orders and has significant impact on overall performance ...

In this paper, the Risk-constrained Cash-In-Transit Vehicle Routing Problem (RCITVRP) is addressed with time windows, pickups, and deliveries. It is crucial for Cash-In-Transit (CIT) companies involved in transporting ...

This study proposes a bi-objective optimization model to design a reliable biomass-biofuel supply chain, in which loading and unloading hubs and biorefineries can be encountered with disruption. For this purpose, the first ...

One of the most critical problems in managing the car manufacturing factories' final assembly line is Car Sequencing Problem (CSP). The optimal permutation of car models is determined in a mixed model assembly line by ...

One of the most attractive topics for industry and researchers in industrial engineering is the integration of decisions in the supply chain. There are some advantages in the integrated decisions compared to different ...

This study evaluates a Set Covering Problem (SCP), an extension of the demand covering problem, with several potential applications. The original demand covering problem objective includes the selection of proper locations ...

The impetus for this research was examining a flow shop problem in which tasks were expected to be successively carried out with no time interval (i.e., no wait time) between them. For this reason, they should be completed ...

Nowadays, coordination between members in a supply chain has become very important and beneficial to channel members. Through cooperative advertising, manufacturers and retailers can jointly participate in promotional ...

Supply chain includes two or more parties linked by flow of goods, information, and funds. In a decentralized system, supply chain members make decision regardless of their decision's effects on the performance of the other ...

The present paper explains the qualitative reasons for the importance of data management inupstream oil and gas. It also provides small and concrete examples in which data management can effectivelyincrease value creation ...

Logistics makes up one of the significant parts of humanitarian organizations. Regarding the natural disasters' increasing growth, coordination and cooperation in the logistics sector get more and more critical in order ...

In zero acceptance number sampling plans, the sample items of an incoming lot are inspected one by one. The proposed method in this research follows these rules: if the number of nonconforming items in the first sample is ...

This study proposes a new approach for single-sampling plan by determining sample size and acceptance number. The proposed approach is based on a two-step methodology. In the first step: quality management step, different ...

When the reverse supply chain—which comprises the steps involved in bringing a product back into the supply chain, such as its collection, recycling, and destruction—is taken into account alongside the forward supply chain, ...
