Bi-level programming techniques are developed to handle decentralized problems with two-level decision makers, leaders and followers, who may have more than one objective to achieve. This paper proposes a λ-cut and goal programming based algorithm to solve fuzzy linear multiple objective bi-level (FLMOB) decision problems. First, based on the definition of a distance measure between two fuzzy v...

Derivatives pricing and investment management seem to have little in common. Even at the organizational level, they belong to two quite separate parts of financial markets. The so-called sell side, represented mainly by the investment banks, among other things offers derivatives products to their customers. Some of them are wealth managers, belonging to the so-called buy side of financial marke...

Parallel Cellular Automata (PCA) previously has been employed for optimizing bi-objective reservoir operation, where one release is used to meet both objectives. However, if a single release can only be used for one objective, meaning two separate sets of releases are needed, the method is not applicable anymore. In this paper, Multi-Step Parallel Cellular Automata (MSPCA) has been developed fo...

this paper is a research on the ordering planning of a supply chain with one supplier, multi buyer and multi deteriorating items. items have fixed life time and expire dates. the ordering period is taken as variable and must be computed the proposed models. the problem is studied via two different approaches the first is the joint replenishment, based on the hwang and chew's model [3] and ...

The multi-period single-sourcing problem that we address in this paper can be used as a tactical tool for evaluating logistics network designs in a dynamic environment. In particular, our objective is to find an assignment of customers to facilities, as well as the location, timing and size of production and inventory levels, that minimizes total assignment, production, and inventory costs. We ...
