In this paper, a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm, based on imperialistic competition algorithm (ICA), harmony search … (HS), and simulated annealing (SA) is presented. The body of the proposed hybrid algorithm is based on ICA. The proposed … hybrid algorithm inherits the advantages of the process of harmony creation in HS algorithm to improve the exploitation phase …

Regarding the location of a facility, the presumption in the widely used p-median model is that the customer opts for the shortest route to the nearest facility. However, this assumption is problematic on free markets since the customer is presumed to gravitate to a facility by the distance to...

This paper investigates the effects of demand disruptions on production control and supplier selection in a three-echelon supply chain system. The customer demand is modeled as a jump-diffusion process in a continuous-time setting. A two-number production-inventory policy is implemented in the...

In this paper, we introduce a new ranking system where the data are preferences resulting from paired comparisons. When direct preferences are missing or unclear, then preferences are determined through indirect comparisons. Given that a ranking of n subjects implies paired preferences, the...
