Transportation network design problem (NDP) is inherently multi-objective in nature, because it involves a number of stakeholders with different needs. In addition, the decision-making process sometimes has to be made under uncertainty where certain inputs are not known exactly. In this paper, we develop three stochastic multi-objective models for designing transportation network under demand u...

a r t i c l e i n f o We introduce a multiple scenario, multiple period, optimization-based decision support system (DSS) for strategic planning in a process industry. The DSS is based on a two stage stochastic linear program (SLP) with recourse for strategic planning. The model can be used with little or no knowledge of Management Sciences. The model maximizes the expected contribution (to pro...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a common technique in measuring the relative efficiency of a set of decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. ‎‎Standard DEA models are ‎‎quite limited models‎, ‎in the sense that they do not consider a DMU ‎‎at different times‎. ‎To resolve this problem‎, ‎DEA models with dynamic ‎‎structures have been proposed‎.‎In a recent pape...

We present a new model and a new approach for solving fuzzylinear programming (FLP) problems with various utilities for the satisfactionof the fuzzy constraints. The model, constructed as a multi-objective linearprogramming problem, provides flexibility for the decision maker (DM), andallows for the assignment of distinct weights to the constraints and the objectivefunction. The desired solutio...

Multistage stochastic programming deals with operational and planning problems that involve a sequence of decisions over time while responding to an uncertain future. Algorithms designed address multistage linear (MSLP) often rely upon scenario trees represent the underlying process. When this process exhibits stagewise independence, sampling-based techniques, particularly dual dynamic algorith...

abstract regarding the imprecise or fuzzy data on the agriculture activities, applying models based on fuzzy data may be useful. in line with this condition this study tries to compare the ability of possiblistic programming approach in developing optimal solution with fuzzy and deterministic programming. to get this objective a data set obtained from 90 farmers of kohgilooye region, gathered i...

since lean concept has appeared many works have been done on decreasing or even eliminating of wastes such as extra inventory. although these studies have not taken into account expected availability seriously. so in this paper, a multiple objective decision making (modm) model has been developed by viewpoint of these subjects. they are decreasing wastes and increasing system availability. wast...
