Robust supplier selection problem, in a scenario- based approach has been proposed, when the demand and exchange rates are subject to uncertainties. First, a deterministic multi-objective mixed integer linear programming is developed; then, the robust counterpart of the proposed mixed integer...

Adoption of carbon regulation mechanisms facilitates an evolution toward green and sustainable supply chains followed by an increased complexity. Through the development and usage of a multi-choice goal programming model solved by an improved algorithm, this article investigates sustainability...

Based on the concept of ambidexterity, we develop a multi-objective, multi-product, and multi-period model to integrate planning for research and development (R&D) and production and distribution (P&D) in a global pharmaceutical supply chain (PSC) considering delays in the entire supply chain....

Food products are a critical part of everyday life. These products have different types, like perishable, livestock, etc. To increase the efficiency of the food supply chain, designing a comprehensive mathematical model that considers all crucial aspects of the chain is necessary. Therefore,...

The banking industry is one of the most important pillars of financial markets that the effective performance of this industry has a decisive role in the growth and prosperity of the country's economy. Therefore, considering the key position and role of banks in economic growth and inflation...

In the present economic context, the operating theater is considered as a critical activity in health care management. This paper describes a model for operating room (OR) planning under constraint of a unique equipment. At first level we schedule elective surgeries under the uncertainty of...
