Dynamic environment imposes such conditions that make it necessary for companies to consider sources of uncertainty in designing core business processes and optimizing supply chain operations. Efficient management of a supply system requires an integrated approach towards various operational functions and related source of uncertainties. Uncertain conditions in supply network design problem such as...
Crew scheduling is one of the important problems of the airline industry. This problem aims to cover a number of flights by crew members, such that all the flights are covered. In a robust scheduling the assignment should be so that the total cost, delays, and unbalanced utilization are minimized. As the problem is NP-hard and the objectives are in conflict with each other, a multi-objective meta-heuristic...
This paper addresses minimizing makespan by genetic algorithm (GA) for scheduling jobs with non-identical sizes on a single batch processing machine. We propose two different genetic algorithms based on different encoding schemes. The first one is a sequence based GA (SGA) that generates random sequences of jobs and applies the batch first fit (BFF) heuristic to group the jobs. The second one is a...
This paper introduces a new approach toward modeling supply chain. Instead of minimizing cost or maximizing benefit, we try to set the ratio of revenue to cost to a certain value and minimize cost in this condition, simultaneously. As this ratio is one of the decision criteria in economical engineering context, it may be attractive for industries to decide whether participate in this chain or not...
Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) has become a popular tool in neuro-fuzzy modeling. However, since it includes many parameters needed to be set, its designing process is a complicated and time-intensive task for experimenters. To tackle this problem, in this paper we implement the Design of Experiment (DOE) technique to identify the significant parameters of ANFIS when it applies to the...
