The purpose of this paper is to develop a new two-stage method for fuzzy multi-objective linear program and apply to engineering project portfolio selection. In the fuzzy multi-objective linear program, all the objective coefficients, technological coefficients and resources are trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TrFNs). An order relationship for TrFNs is introduced by using the interval expectation of...

In this research, we address the application of uncertaintyprogramming to design a multi-site, multi-product, multi-period,closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) network. In order to make theresults of this article more realistic, a CLSC for a case study inthe iron and steel industry has been explored. The presentedsupply chain covers three objective functions: maximization ofprofit, minimization of n...

In this paper, we concentrate on discussing the inventory problem under bifuzzy environment and develop a class of multi-objective inventory model with bifuzzy coefficients. We give the bifuzzy transform operarion and prove the method of solving satisfied solution of multi-objective inventory model. These are applied to a practical inventory problem in which all inventory costs, purchasing and ...

Abstract: This paper investigates a multi-objective supplier selection and order allocation problem under quantity discounts in a fuzzy environment. Prior research on supplier selection and order allocation with quantity discounts mainly considered partial fuzziness of the decision problem; a situation where both the objectives of the decision maker and the constraints are fuzzy has not been st...

Designing a logistic network is a strategic and critical problem that provides an optimal platform for the effective and efficient supply chain management. In this research, we address the application of fuzzy sets to design a multi-product, multi-period, closed-loop supply chain network. The presented supply chain includes three objective functions: maximization of profit, minimization of deli...

This research proposes a preemptive fuzzy goal programming model for multi-objective multi-mode resource constrained project scheduling problem. The objectives of the problem are minimization of the total time and the total cost of the project. Objective in a multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem is often a minimization of makespan. However, both time and cost should be con...

disasters can cause many casualties and considerable destruction mainly because of ineffective preventive measures, incomplete preparedness, and weak relief logistics systems. after catastrophic events happen, quick and effective response is of great importance, so as to having an efficient logistic plan for distributing needed relief commodities efficiently and fairly among affected people. in...
