this paper studies the multi-stage supply chain system (msscm) controlled by the kanban mechanism. in the kanban system, decision making is based on the number of kanbans as well as batch sizes. a kanban mechanism is employed to assist in linking different production processes in a supply chain system in order to implement the scope of just-in-time (jit) philosophy. for a msscm, a mixed-integer...

this paper addresses the mixed integer reliability redundancy allocation problems to determine simultaneous allocation of optimal reliability and redundancy level of components based on three objective goals. system engineering principles suggest that the best design is the design that maximizes the system operational effectiveness and at the same time minimizes the total cost of ownership (tco...

this paper uses the l1−norm and the concept of the non-dominated vector, topropose a method to find a well-dispersed subset of non-dominated (wdsnd) vectorsof a multi-objective mixed integer linear programming (momilp) problem.the proposed method generalizes the proposed approach by tohidi and razavyan[tohidi g., s. razavyan (2014), determining a well-dispersed subset of non-dominatedvectors of...
