this paper aims to investigate the integrated production/distribution and inventory planning for perishable products with fixed life time in the constant condition of storage throughout a two-echelon supply chain by integrating producers and distributors. this problem arises from real environment in which multi-plant with multi-function lines produce multi-perishable products with fixed life ti...

in this paper we investigate multi-objective integer linear programming (moilp) problems with unbounded feasible region and introduce recession direction for moilp problems. then we present necessary and sufficient conditions to have unbounded feasible region and infinite optimal values for objective functions of moilp problems. finally we present some examples with unbounded feasible region and fi...

  We develop an algorithm for the solution of multiobjective linear plus fractional programming problem (MOL+FPP) when some of the constraints are homogeneous in nature. Using homogeneous constraints, first we construct a transformation matrix T which transforms the given problem into another MOL+FPP with fewer constraints. Then, a relationship between these two problems, ensuring that the solu...

in this study, a bi-objective model for integrated planning of production-distribution in a multi-level supply chain network with multiple product types and multi time periods is presented. the supply chain network including manufacturers, distribution centers, retailers and final customers is proposed. the proposed model minimizes the total supply chain costs and transforming time of products ...

In this paper, a multi-objective multi-period multi-product supply chain network design problem is introduced. This problem is modeled using a multi-objective mixed integer mathematical programming. The objectives are maximizing the total profit of logistics, maximizing service level, and minimizing inconsistency of operations. Several sets of constraints are considered to handle the real situa...

Transportation problem is a linear programming which considers minimum cost for shipping a product from some origins to other destinations such as from factories to warehouse, or from a warehouse to supermarkets. To solve this problem simplex algorithmis utilized. In real projects costs and the value of supply and demands are fuzzy numbers and it is expected that optimal solutions for determini...

Abstract In this paper we have investigated a fuzzy linear programming problem with fuzzy quantities which are LR triangular fuzzy numbers. The given linear programming problem is rearranged according to the satisfactory level of constraints using breaking point method. By considering the constraints, the arranged problem has been investigated for all optimal solutions connected with satisf...

Abstract. The paper focuses its attention on solving Multi-objective intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problem and Multi-objective intuitionistic fuzzy linear fractional programming problem by using weighting factor in which the constraints and the cost coefficients are intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Weighting factor is used to convert problems that are multi-objective into single objectiv...

in today's globalization, an effective integration of production and distribution plans into a unified framework is crucial for attaining competitive advantage. this paper addresses an integrated multi-product and multi-time period production/distribution planning problem for a two-echelon supply chain subject to the real-world variables and constraints. it is assumed that all transportations a...

A linear programming model using the random sampling technique was used for optimization of products in production line Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC), Lagos, which has many facilities and multi-products systems. Products from company are distributed to a number depots across country demand each product is known. The problem interest involves determining what product/s should be made, how much...
