Abstract:

Using mathematical modeling of the location problem is effective in optimization of the location of electronic charity boxes. This paper investigates the effective criteria of amount of donation in each district and each type of location, following the determination of study districts, identifying types of locations and extracting conventional charity boxes information. The objectives of the model are to maximize the total amount of benefit and amount of donation motivation. In order to extract the donation motivation at any potential location, a number of criteria using the evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS) method are used, including district impact factor, location type impact factor, and human traffic factor. The constraints of the problem are defined as building the culture and prevention of accumulation of e-charity boxes at any district and any type of location. Due to the multi-objective model and the randomness of the amount of benefit and the human traffic factor at any potential location,  two objectives have been used as a chance-constrained goal programming model, which after changing from a stochastic multi-objective model to a deterministic single-objective one and setting the parameters, 60 locations are extracted as the final locations.

A Chance Constrained Multiple Objective Goal Programming Model of Fuzzy QFD and FMEA: Model Development

There are varieties of QFD combination forms available that can help management to choose the right model for his/her types of problem. The proposed MOCC-QFD-FMEA model is a right model to include variety of objectives as well as the risk factors into the model of the problem. Due to the fact that the model also takes into consideration the concept of Fuzzy set, it further allows management...

Optimal production strategy of bimetallic deposits under technical and economic uncertainties using stochastic chance-constrained programming

In order to catch up with reality, all the macro-decisions related to long-term mining production planning must be made simultaneously and under uncertain conditions of determinant parameters. By taking advantage of the chance-constrained programming, this paper presents a stochastic model to create an optimal strategy for producing bimetallic deposit open-pit mines under certain and uncertain ...

Chance-constrained games: A mathematical programming approach

We consider a two player bimatrix game where the entries of the payoff matrices are random variables. We formulate this problem as a chance-constrained game by considering that the payoff of each player is defined using a chance constraint. We consider the case where the entries of the payoff matrices are independent normal/Cauchy random variables. We show a one-to-one correspondence between a ...

Fractional Chance Constrained Programming: A Fuzzy Goal Programming Approach

There are many cases that a nonlinear fractional programming, generated as a result of studying fractional stochastic programming, must be solved. Sometimes an approximate solution may be sufficient enough to start a new process of calculations. To this end, this author introduces a new linear approximation technique for solving a fractional chance constrained programming (CCP) problem. After i...

ORE extraction and blending optimization model in poly- metallic open PIT mines by chance constrained one-sided goal programming

Determination a sequence of extracting ore is one of the most important problems in mine annual production scheduling. Production scheduling affects mining performance especially in a poly-metallic open pit mine with considering the imposed operational and physical constraints mandated by high levels of reliability in relation to the obtained actual results. One of the important operational con...

Fuzzy Goal Programming Approach to Chance Constrained Multilevel Programming Problems

This paper presents a fuzzy goal programming (FGP) procedure for solving multilevel programming problems (MLPPs) having chance constraints in large hierarchical decision organizations. In the proposed approach, first the chance constraints of a problem are converted into their respective deterministic equivalent in the decision making context. Then, the objective functions of decision makers (D...
