dynamic cellular manufacturing systems,   mixed-integer non-linear programming,   production planning, manufacturing attributes   this paper presents a novel mixed-integer non-linear programming model for the design of a dynamic cellular manufacturing system (dcms) based on production planning (pp) decisions and several manufacturing attributes. such an integrated dcms model with an extensive c...

data envelopment analysis (dea) has been widely studied in the literature since its inception with charnes, cooper and rhodes work in 1978. the methodology behind the classical dea method is to determine how much improvements in the outputs (inputs) dimensions is necessary in order to render them efficient. one of the underlying assumptions of this methodology is that the units consume and prod...

although lot streaming scheduling is an active research field, lot streaming flexible flow lines problems have received far less attention than classical flow shops. this paper deals with scheduling jobs in lot streaming flexible flow line problems. the paper mathematically formulates the problem by a mixed integer linear programming model. this model solves small instances to optimality. moreo...

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...

this paper proposes a new mathematical model for the integrated procurement-production-distribution problem of a fuzzy mixed integer linear programming (fmilp) type. considering the uncertainty in real problems, a number of parameters such as demand, capacity, and cost where their values are not available or known precisely, have been considered as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. to solve fuzzy mixe...

This paper uses the weighted L$_1-$norm to propose an algorithm for finding a well-dispersed subset of non-dominated solutions of multiple objective mixed integer linear programming problem. When all variables are integer it finds the whole set of efficient solutions. In each iteration of the proposed method only a mixed integer linear programming problem is solved and its optimal solutions gen...

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...
