supply chain network design decisions are among the strategic decisions of supply chain management which play significant role on the efficient performance of the supply chain. however, there are two challenging factors which may have great impact on the supply chain performance. these factors are on the one hand disruptions and their attendant damages and on the other hand uncertain nature of ...

this paper addresses a reliable facility location problem with considering facility capacity constraints. in reliable facility location problem some facilities may become unavailable from time to time. if a facility fails, its clients should refer to other facilities by paying the cost of retransfer to these facilities. hence, the fail of facilities leads to disruptions in facility location dec...

This paper addresses a reliable facility location problem with considering facility capacity constraints. In reliable facility location problem some facilities may become unavailable from time to time. If a facility fails, its clients should refer to other facilities by paying the cost of retransfer to these facilities. Hence, the fail of facilities leads to disruptions in facility location dec...

This paper presents a novel reliable hierarchical location-allocation model where facilities are subject to the risk of disruptions. Based on the relationship between various levels of system, a multi-level multi-flow hierarchy is considered. The heterogeneous probabilistic disruptions are investigated in which the constructed facilities have different site-dependent and independent failure rat...

This paper considers the reliable multi-product multi-vehicle multi-type link logistics network design problem (RMLNDP) with system disruptions, which is concerned with facilities locating, transshipment links constructing, and also allocating them to the customers in order to satisfy their demand on minimum expected total cost (including locating costs, link constructing costs, and also expect...

proposing a robust designed facility location is one of the most effective ways to hedge against unexpected disruptions and failures in a transportation network system. this paper considers the combined facility location/network design problem with regard to transportation link disruptions and develops a mixed integer linear programming formulation to model it. with respect to the probability o...

Forecasting Project Progress and Early Warning of Project Overruns with Probabilistic Methods. (December 2007) Byung Cheol Kim, B.S., Seoul National University; M.S., Seoul National University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kenneth F. Reinschmidt Forecasting is a critical component of project management. Project managers must be able to make reliable predictions about the final duration and c...
