A new efficient genetic algorithm-Taguchi-based approach for multi-period inventory routing problem

Amin Farahbakhsh; Amir Saman Kheirkhah

Volume 12, Issue 4 , December 2023, , Pages 397-413

https://doi.org/10.22105/riej.2023.403685.1387

Abstract
  The inventory routing problem arises from the combination of the vehicle routing problem and the vendor-managed inventory problem. In this paper, we present a mathematical model and a novel genetic algorithm for solving the multi-period inventory routing problem. The objective is to supply products to ...  Read More

Fatin Ishraq; Rumaisa Ahmed; Joytun Nisa Joti

Volume 10, Issue 3 , September 2021, , Pages 238-250

https://doi.org/10.22105/riej.2021.297700.1238

Abstract
  3D printing or additive manufacturing is a technology in which 3D objects are printed by depositing a thin layer of material layer-by-layer until a final product is produced. In this research work, it has been focused on the fabrication of a Portable 3D Printer for the manufacturing of sample parts by ...  Read More

Total quality management and quality engineering
Simultaneous optimization of quantitative and ordinal responses using Taguchi method

S. Pal; S. Gauri

Volume 7, Issue 2 , September 2018, , Pages 184-205

https://doi.org/10.22105/riej.2018.127858.1039

Abstract
  In the real world, the overall quality of a product is often represented partly by the measured values of some quantitative variables and partly by the observed values of some ordinal variables. The settings for the manufacturing processes of such products are required to be optimized considering the ...  Read More

Comprehensive Method to Determine Real Option Utilizing Probability Distribution

M. Modarres Yazdi; M. Shafiei; S.M. Sahihi Oskooyi

Volume 3, Issue 1 , May 2014, , Pages 11-25

Abstract
  Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric analytical methodology widely used in efficiency measurement of decision making units (DMUs). Conventionally, after identifying the efficient frontier, each DMU is compared to this frontier and classified as efficient or inefficient. This thesis introduces ...  Read More
