The aim of this paper is to propose a robust reliable bi-objective supply chain network design (SCND) model that is capable of controlling different kinds of uncertainties, concurrently. In this regard, stochastic bi-level scenario based programming approach which is used to model various scenarios related to strike of disruptions. The well-known method helps to overcome adverse effects of disr...

The competitive market and declined economy have increased the relevant importance of making supply chain network efficient. This has created many motivations to reduce the cost of services, and simultaneously, to increase the quality of them. The network as a tri-echelon one consists of Suppliers, Warehouses or Distribution Centers (DCs), and Retailer nodes. To bring the problem closer to real...

throughout the history, earthquakes led to not only the destruction of many homes and damage to a lot of people, but also homeless of people and in need of medical aid. one of the key issues which have always great importance during the disaster is supply the needed blood of blood units' applicant people. therefore, in this paper with the design of blood supply chain at the time of earthquake d...

one of the main problems of supply chain network design is uncertainty. to consider this, designing of a three-echelon supply chain in a fuzzy environment is discussed in this paper. since satisfaction of some constraints in supply chain is vital and necessary, so this research proposes a direct solution approach to find the solution which represents the trade-off between feasibility degree of ...

logistic network design is one of the most important strategic decisions in supply chain management that has recently attracted the attention of many researchers. transportation network design is then one of the most important fields of logistic network. this study is concerned with designing a multi-stage and multi-product logistic network. at first, a mixed integer nonlinear programming model...

according to the low efficiency of irrigation and drainage networks and water distribution in iran, simulating water flow and sensitivity structures and networks is considered as a new approach to evaluate the performance hydroelectric projects in the country. in this study, because of reduced water supply and distribution, especially in downstream irrigation and drainage networks varamin to ev...

Financial efficiency evaluations in a network system, considering intermediate products, nowadays consideres great importance for managers. In the process of doing business analysis, each stage of in a network is of particular importance. In this paper, with the help of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the performance of a network with feedbacks are considerd. In this assessment, financia...

Empirical support for the assumption that cliques are major determinants of reputational influence derives largely from the frequent finding that organizations which claimed that their cliques’ connections are influential had an increased likelihood of becoming influential themselves. It is suggested that the strong and consistent connection in cliques is at least partially responsible for the ...
