The growing interest in technicians’ workloads research is probably associated with the recent surge in competition. This was prompted by unprecedented technological development that triggers changes in customer tastes and preferences for industrial goods. In a quest for business improvement, this worldwide intense competition in industries has stimulated theories and practical frameworks that ...

In this paper, assuming cooperative behavior of the decision makers, solution methods for decisionmaking problems in hierarchical organizations under fuzzy randomenvironments are considered. To deal with the formulated two-level linear programming problems involving fuzzy random variables, α-level sets of fuzzy random variables are introduced and an α-stochastic two-level linear programming pro...

in this paper the real-world occurrence of the multiple-product multiple-constraint single period newsboy problem with two objectives, in which there is incremental discounts on the purchasing prices, is investigated. the constraints are the warehouse capacity and the batch forms of the order placements. the first objective of this problem is to find the order quantities such that the expected ...

the present study aims to provide a solution to optimize land use through multi-objective linear programming, and to solve the conflicts generated in the process using game theory, in two cities of gorgan and kurdkoy, iran. the primary land use planning was completed for seven land use through multi-criteria evaluation and then a first allocation was implanted using mola. in the secondary land ...

In this paper, a comprehensive mathematical model for designing an electric power supply chain network via considering preventive maintenance under risk of network failures is proposed. The risk of capacity disruption of the distribution network is handled via using a two-stage stochastic programming as a framework for modeling the optimization problem. An applied method of planning for the net...

This paper examines the numerical implementation of a linear programming (LP) formulation of stochastic control problems involving singular stochastic processes. The decision maker has the ability to influence a diffusion process through the selection of its drift rate (a control that acts absolutely continuously in time) and may also decide to instantaneously move the process to some other lev...
