A Bi-Abjective Model for Optimizing Price, Warranty Length, and Service Capacity Within Queuing Framework: Genetic Algorithm and Fuzzy System

چکیده
In this paper, we have proposed a bi-objective model for pricingqueuing problem under fuzzy environment. The objectives are maximizing the profit and minimizing the waiting time in system to receive the service. Price, warranty length, and service capacity decisions are analyzed for a seller with considering sale and service channels. To formulate the demand function, a fuzzy system is developed to estimate the demand value under price and warranty length variables. Furthermore, a hybrid solution of genetic algorithm and a fuzzy system is presented to solve the proposed model. At end, numerical results are analyzed by solving sample problems.

A New Model for Location-Allocation Problem within Queuing Framework
This paper proposes a bi-objective model for the facility location problem under a congestion system. The idea of the model is motivated by applications of locating servers in bank automated teller machines (ATMS), communication networks, and so on. This model can be specifically considered for situations in which fixed service facilities are congested by stochastic demand within queueing frame...

متن کاملDeveloping a New Bi-Objective Functions Model for a Hierarchical Location-Allocation Problem Using the Queuing Theory and Mathematical Programming
In this research, a hierarchical location-allocation problem is modeled in a queue framework. The queue model is considered as M/M/1/k, in which system capacity is finite, equals to k. This is the main contribution of the current research. Customer's enters to the system in order to find the service according to a Poisson. In this problem, the hierarchical location-allocation model is considere...

This paper deals with finite capacity single server queuing system with vacations. Vacation starts at rate nu if the system is empty. Also the server takes another vacation if upon his arrival to the system, finds the system empty. Customers arrive in the system in Poisson fashion at rate lamda0 during vacation, faster rate lamdaf during active service and slower rate lamdas during the breakdow...
