In this paper, we propose a new model for designing integrated forward/reverse logistics based on pricing policy in direct and indirect sales channel. The proposed model includes producers, disposal center, distributers and final customers. We assumed that the location of final customers is fixed. First, a deterministic mixed integer linear programming model is developed for integrated logistic...

A very useful multi-objective technique is goal programming. There are many methodologies of goal programming such as weighted goal programming, min-max goal programming, and lexicographic goal programming. In this paper, weighted goal programming is reformulated as goal programming with logarithmic deviation variables. Here, a comparison of the proposed method and goal programming with weighte...

this paper presents a fuzzy goal programming (fgp) methodology for solving bi-level quadratic programming (blqp) problems. in the fgp model formulation, firstly the objectives are transformed into fuzzy goals (membership functions) by means of assigning an aspiration level to each of them, and suitable membership function is defined for each objectives, and also the membership functions for vec...

emission trading is one of the famous mechanisms under kyoto protocol to control environmental pollution. the aim of this paper is to design a strategic supply chain network under emission trading scheme with inclusion of stochastic parameters and budget limitation. demand and price of carbon credits are considered as the important stochastic parameters influencing the supply chain network. in ...

in a region, optimal allocation of lands to various agricultural products is one of the most important issue associated with optimal use of agricultural resources. meta-goal programming is one of the multiple criteria decision models. this programming provides more flexible decisions for decision makers than other goal programming. in the current study, optimal cropping pattern was determined u...
