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...

multiple objective programming (mop) problems have become famous among many researchers due to more practical and realistic implementations. there have been a lot of methods proposed especially during the past four decades. in this paper, we develop a new algorithm based on a new approach to solve mop problems by starting from a utopian point (which is usually infeasible) and moving towards the...

optimal allocation of water resources is an essential service in agriculture that must be considered by farmers. one of the most significant factors in optimal allocation of water resources in agriculture is to define optimal farm cropping pattern. in this study, in order to determine optimal cropping pattern and water resources allocation in central district of mashhad city (toos village), the...

In practice, there are many problems which decision parameters are fuzzy numbers, and some kind of this problems are formulated as either possibilitic programming or multi-objective programming methods. In this paper, we consider a multi-objective programming problem with fuzzy data in constraints and introduce a new approach for solving these problems base on a combination of the multi-objecti...

data envelopment analysis operates as a tool for appraising the relative efficiency of a set of homogenous decision making units. this methodology is applied widely in different contexts. regarding to its logic, dea allows each dmu to take its optimal weight in comparison with other dmus while a similar condition is considered for other units. this feature is a bilabial characteristic which opt...

a theorem was recently introduced to establish a relationship betweengoal programming and fuzzy programming for vectormaximum problems.in this short note it is shown that the relationship does not exist underall circumstances. the necessary correction is proposed.
