A survey of triage systems in combat casualty care for providing a revised system

 Purpose: Triage is a complicated and dynamic process in nature. Moreover, there are many challenges in selecting the required information about the casualties, the wounded, and the type of accident at the time of crisis. Hence, this research was undertaken to present a new strategy for efficiently triaging casualties in the battlefield. Methodology: In this review, two methods of field a...

Estimation of the cost function of a two-echelon inventory system with lost sales using regression

Multi-echelon inventory systems are one of the most important and attractive areas in modelling supply chain management so that several researches and studies have been done about. In this paper, the total cost function of a two-echelon inventory system with central warehouse and many identical retailers controlled by continuous review inventory policy is estimated. We have assumed the demand i...

Comparing Two-Echelon and Single-Echelon Multi-Objective Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problems

This paper aims to compare a two-echelon and a single-echelon distribution system. A mathematical model for the Single-Echelon Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (SE-CVRP) is proposed. This SE-CVRP is the counterpart of Two-Echelon Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (2E-CVRP) introduced in the authors’ previous work. The proposed mathematical model is Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Programming (MIN...

A multi-objective integrated production-allocation and distribution planning problem of a multi-echelon supply chain network: two parameter-tuned meta-heuristic algorithms

Supply chain management (SCM) is a subject that has found so much attention among different commercial and industrial organizations due to competing environment of products. Therefore, integration of constituent element of this chain is a great deal. This paper proposes a multi objective production-allocation and distribution planning problem (PADPP) in a multi echelon supply chain network. We ...
