the bi-objective warehouse problem in a crisp environment is often not eective in dealing with the imprecision or vagueness in the values of the problem parameters. to deal with such situations, several researchers have proposed that the parameters be represented as fuzzy numbers. we describe a new algorithm for fuzzy bi-objective warehouse problem using a ranking function followed by an applic...

The use of statistical measures to constrain generalisa-tion in learning systems has proved successful in many domains, but can only be applied where large numbers of examples exist. In domains where few training examples are available, other mechanisms for constraining gener-alisation are required. In this paper, we propose a representation of background knowledge based on arguments for and ag...

this paper deals with an i * corresponding author email address:   nventory system with one central warehouse and a number of identical retailers. we consider perishable-on-the-shelf items; that is, all items have a fixed shelf life and start to age on their arrival at the retailers. each retailer faces poisson demand and employs (1, t) inventory policy. although demand n...

A deterministic inventory model with two levels of storage (own warehouse and rented warehouse) with non-instantaneous deteriorating items is studied. The supplier offers the retailer a trade credit period to settle the amount. Different scenarios based on the deterioration and the trade credit period have been considered. In this article, we have framed two models considering single warehouse ...

Locating an economic facility, warehouse, plant, retail store, etc., is one of the most important questions that a business company faces. In this paper we consider a normative model for a certain class of relocation processes. That is, when one location structure is gradually substituted by another one. This happens in response to external factors such as appearance of competitors or change of...
