As a way of simplifying, size reducing and making the structure of each social network be comprehensible, blockmodeling consists of two major, essential components: partitioning of actors to equivalent classes, called positions, and clarifying relations between and within positions. While actor...

This paper presents a particle swarm optimization (PSO) approach to improve the geometrical accuracy of additive manufacturing (AM) parts by minimizing geometrical dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) error. Four AM process parameters viz. Bed temperature, nozzle temperature, Infill, layer...

Supply Chain Management has become an integrated part of today's industries. Advancement in technology in this field is the key to the successful operation of businesses. Many techniques and algorithms have a risen dealing with the challenging problems of present industry. In this paper, we have...

This paper introduces a new variant of Multi-Objective Green Location Routing Problem (MOGLRP) in which the start and end location of each route can be distinct. In this paper, the authors present a new mathematical formulation for the MOGLRP with consideration of environmentally issues. MOGLRP...

In this paper, a multi-objective, multi-product, multi-period production and transportation planning problem in the context of a multi-site supply chain is proposed. The developed model attempts simultaneously to maximize the profit and to maximize the product quality level. The objective of...
