since lean concept has appeared many works have been done on decreasing or even eliminating of wastes such as extra inventory. although these studies have not taken into account expected availability seriously. so in this paper, a multiple objective decision making (modm) model has been developed by viewpoint of these subjects. they are decreasing wastes and increasing system availability. wast...

Many real-world tasks require making decisions that involve multiple possibly conflicting objectives. To succeed in such tasks, intelligent systems need planning or learning algorithms that can e ciently find di↵erent ways of balancing the trade-o↵s that such objectives present. In this tutorial, we provide an introduction to decision-theoretic approaches to coping with multiple objectives. We ...

supplier selection is one of the most important activities of purchasing departments. this importance is increased even more by new strategies in a supply chain, because of the key role suppliers perform in terms of quality, costs and services which affect the outcome in the buyer’s company. supplier selection is a multiple criteria decision making problem in which the objectives are not equall...

in a robust parameter design (rpd) problem, the experimenter is interested to determine the values of con-trol factors such that responses will be robust or insensitive to variability of the noise factors. response sur-face methodology (rsm) is one of the effective methods that can be employed for this purpose. since quality of products or processes is usually evaluated through several quality ...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a nonparametric approach to estimate relative efficiency of decision making units (dmus). dea and is one of the best quantitative approach and balanced scorecard (bsc) is one of the best qualitative method to measure efficiency of an organization. since simultaneous evaluation of network performance of the quad areas of bsc model is considered as a necessity a...

due to the importance of supplier selection issue in supply chain management (scm) and ,also,  the increasing tendency of organizations to their social responsibilities, in this paper, we survey the supplier selection issue as a multi objective problem while considering the factor of corporate social responsibility (csr) as a mathematical parameter. the purpose of this paper is to design a mode...

the sensitivity analysis for multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems is important for two reasons: first, the decision matrix as the source of the results of a decision problem is inaccurate because it sorts the alternatives in each criterion inaccurately. second, the decision maker may change his opinions in a time period because of changes in the importance of the criteria and in the ...
