A Nadir Compromise Programming for Supplier Selection Problem under Uncertainty

Supplier selection is one of the influential decisions for effectiveness of purchasing and manufacturing policies under competitive conditions of the market. Regarding the fact that decision makers (DMs) consider conflicting criteria for selecting suppliers, multiple-criteria programming is a promising approach to solve the problem. This paper develops a nadir compromise programming (NCP) model...

Selection of Comminution Circuits for Improved Efficiency

This paper examines the design of comminution circuits and the issues that impact on comminution circuit efficiency. Circuit efficiency is discussed, principally from the perspective of power efficiency. However, operating efficiency, maintenance efficiency, capital expenditure and return on investment are often the key efficiency factors in project development outweighing power efficiency cons...

A Fuzzy Mixed-integer Goal Programming Model for Determining an Optimal Compromise Mix of Design Requirements in Quality Function Deployment

Quality function deployment is a well-known customer-oriented design procedure for translating the voice of customers into a final production. This is a way that higher customer satisfaction is achieved while the other goals of company may also be met. This method, at the first stage, attempts to determine the best fulfillment levels of design requirements which are emanated by customer needs. ...
