Hiwa Farughi; Sobhan Mostafayi; Ahmadreza Afrasiabi

Volume 6, Issue 2 , December 2019, , Pages 120-146

https://doi.org/10.22116/jiems.2019.93028

Abstract
  In this paper, a bi-objective mixed-integer mathematical model is presented for configuration of a dynamic cellular manufacturing system. In this model, dynamic changes and uncertainty in parts demand and machines reliability are considered. The first objective function minimizes total costs and the ...  Read More

Ali Salmasnia; Ali Tavakoli; Maryam Noroozi; Behnam Abdzadeh

Volume 6, Issue 1 , June 2019, , Pages 46-67

https://doi.org/10.22116/jiems.2019.87660

Abstract
  Control charts are powerful tools to monitor quality characteristics of services or production processes. However, in some processes, the performance of process or product cannot be controlled by monitoring a characteristic; instead, they require to be controlled by a function that usually refers as ...  Read More

A Bootstrap Interval Robust Data Envelopment Analysis for Estimate Efficiency and Ranking Hospitals

M. Rabbani; N. Heidari; H. Farrokhi Asl

Volume 3, Issue 2 , December 2016, , Pages 107-122

Abstract
  Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is one of non-parametric methods for evaluating efficiency of each unit. Limited resources in healthcare economy is the main reason in measuring efficiency of hospitals. In this study, a bootstrap interval data envelopment analysis (BIRDEA) is proposed for measuring the ...  Read More

Solving a robust capacitated arc routing problem using a hybrid simulated annealing algorithm: A waste collection application

E. Babaee Tirkolaee; M. Alinaghian; M. Bakhshi Sasi; M. M. Seyyed Esfahani

Volume 3, Issue 1 , June 2016, , Pages 61-76

Abstract
  The urban waste collection is one of the major municipal activities that involves large expenditures and difficult operational problems. Also, waste collection and disposal have high expenses such as investment cost (i.e. vehicles fleet) and high operational cost (i.e. fuel, maintenance). In fact, making ...  Read More

Coordination of green supply chain network, considering uncertain demand and stochastic CO2 emission level

H. Golpira; M. Zandieh; E. Najafi; S. Sadi Nezhade

Volume 2, Issue 2 , December 2015, , Pages 43-54

Abstract
  Many supply chain problems involve optimization of various conflicting objectives. This paper formulates a green supply chain network throughout a two-stage mixed integer linear problem with uncertain demand and stochastic environmental respects level. The first objective function of the proposed model ...  Read More
