In this paper, we consider the capacitated single allocation p-hub median problem generalized with fixed costs of opening facilities. The quadratic mathematical formulation of this problem is first adapted and then linearized. ...

In this paper, for the first time in the literature, we integrated production scheduling decisions and WIPs planning decisions in a distributed environment. We study the distributed and flexible job shop scheduling problem ...

Recently, Kharazmi and Saadatinik (2016) introduced a new family of lifetime distributions called hyperbolic cosine – F (HCF) distribution. In the present paper, it is focused on a special case of HCF family with exponentiated ...

This paper studies the uncapacitated P-hub center problem in a network under decentralized management assuming time as a fuzzy variable. In this network, transport companies act independently, each company makes its route ...

The school bus routing problem (SBRP) represents a variant of the well-known vehicle routing problem. The main goal of this study is to pick up students allocated to some bus stops and generate routes, including the selected ...

According to several studies, power and interdependence play a considerable role in understanding the buyer–supplier relationships, yet, empirical research is still limited. Also, the nature of the buyer-supplier relationship ...

Nowadays, fiber-optic due to having greater bandwidth and being more efficient compared with other similar technologies, are counted as one the most important tools for data transfer. In this article, an integrated ...
