Purpose: Integration of various logistical components in supply chain, such as transportation, inventory control and facility location are becoming common practice to avoid suboptimization in nowadays’ competitive environment. The integration of transportation and inventory decisions is known...

Machines are a key element in the production system and their failure causes irreparable effects in terms of cost and time. In this paper, a new multi-objective mathematical model for dynamic cellular manufacturing system (DCMS) is provided with consideration of machine reliability and...

Mixed-model assembly lines are increasingly accepted in many industrial environments to meet the growing trend of greater product variability, diversification of customer demands, and shorter life cycles. In this research, a new mathematical model is presented considering balancing a mixed-model...

Optimally selection of an appropriate mix of renewable sources for supplying electricity of remote areas has been always an important challenge for policy makers. Also, in recent years, the great advantages of Demand Side Management (DSM) programs such as postponing investments in construction...
