A model for the integration of production-distribution levels in the supply chain of non-perishable materials by considering intermediate warehouses by Kayvan Ahmadi, Sohrab Abdollahzadeh

“…For validation, a case study was performed and genetic Meta heuristic algorithms were used for solving the problem. The results of the solved model showed that Decision making integrated is better than the case that sections are decided separately. …”

A Multi-response Simulation Optimization Based Model for Operator Allocation and Job Dispatching Rule in a Cellular Manufacturing System by Alireza Shahraki, Omid Farasat

“…They have been optimized cellular manufacturing line problems by using mathematical modellings and meta-heuristic algorithms, but it should be noted that assumptions such as the uncertainty of problem parameters, machines’ breakdown and variable demand are among the existing and dominant conditions in cellular manufacturing problems, which, by taking them, can bring the problem as close as possible to real-world conditions, and, on the other hand, research results become more practical. …”
