Robust bi-level optimization for an opportunistic supply chain network design problem in an uncertain and risky environment
Journal Title: Operations Research and Decisions - Year 2017, Vol 27, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper introduces the problem of designing a single-product supply chain network in an agile manufacturing setting under a vendor managed inventory (VMI) strategy to seize a new market oppor-tunity. The problem addresses the level of risk aversion of the retailer when dealing with the uncertainty of market related information through a conditional value at risk (CVaR) approach. This approach leads to a bilevel programming problem. The Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) conditions are employed to trans-form the model into a single-level, mixed-integer linear programming problem by considering some relaxations. Since realizations of imprecisely known parameters are the only information available, a data-driven approach is employed as a suitable, more practical, methodology of avoiding distribu-tional assumptions. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated through a numer-ical example.

Comparison of the Gini and Zenga indexes using some theoretical income distributions abstract
The most common measure of inequality used in scientific research is the Gini index. In 2007, Zenga proposed a new index of inequality that has all the appropriate properties of an measure of equality. In this paper, we...

The portfolio problem with present value modelled by a discrete trapezoidal fuzzy number
A multi-asset portfolio in the case of its present value estimated by a discrete trapezoidal fuzzy number has been assessed. The benefits of owning a security have been evaluated according to an expected fuzzy discount f...
