Abstract Under the management pattern of enterprises group sales, how to assign all market orders reasonably and optimally within member enterprises is one of the important aspects that enterprises group has to study. On the basis of summary of the order allocation principles of enterprises group, a multi-objective optimization model is established to rationally allocate the order, maximize the...

This research studies the role of multivariate distribution structures on random asset returns in determining the optimal allocation vector for an expected utility maximizer. All our conclusions pertain for the set of risk averters. By carefully disturbing symmetry in the distribution of the, possibly covarying, returns, we ascertain the ordinal structure of the optimized allocation vector. Ran...

In the face of acute global competition, supplier management is rapidly emerging as a crucial issue to any companies striving for business success and sustainable development. To optimize competitive advantages, a company should incorporate ‘‘suppliers” as an essential part of its core competencies. Supplier evaluation, the first step in supplier management, is a complex multi-criteria decision...

This paper presents a multi-objective order allocation planning problem with the consideration of various real-world production features. A novel hybrid intelligent optimization model, integrating a multi-objective memetic optimization process, a Monte Carlo simulation technique and a heuristic pruning technique, is proposed to handle this problem. Experiments based on industrial data are condu...

in order to estimate effects of drought stress on dry matter allocation of pinto bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.), an experiment was carried out as split plot based on complete randomized block design with four replications at zanjan university research farm. in this experiment,  two irrigation levels (optimum irrigation during growth season and post flowering drought stress) were set at main plots...

Most routers in on-chip interconnection networks (OCINs) have multiple virtual channels (VCs) to mitigate the effects of head-of-line blocking. Multiple VCs necessitate VC allocation schemes since packets or flows must compete for channels when there are more flows than virtual channels at a link. Conventional dynamic VC allocation, however, raises two critical issues. First, it still suffers f...
