        1 - A New Dynamic Random Fuzzy DEA Model to Predict Performance of Decision Making Units

        Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a methodology for measuring the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) which ‎consume the same types of inputs and producing the same types of outputs. Believing that future planning and predicting the ‎efficiency are very important for DMUs, this paper first presents a new dynamic random fuzzy DEA model (DRF-DEA) with ‎common weights (using multi objective DEA approach) to predict the efficiency of DMUs under mean chance constraints and ‎expected values of the objective functions. In the initial proposed‏ ‏DRF-DEA model, the inputs and outputs are assumed to be ‎characterized by random triangular fuzzy variables with normal distribution, in which data are changing sequentially. Under this ‎assumption, the solution process is very complex. So we then convert the initial proposed DRF-DEA model to its equivalent multi-‎objective stochastic programming, in which the constraints contain the standard normal distribution functions, and the objective ‎functions are the expected values of functions of normal random variables. In order to improve in computational time, we then ‎convert the equivalent multi-objective stochastic model to one objective stochastic model with using fuzzy multiple objectives ‎programming approach. To solve it, we design a new hybrid algorithm by integrating Monte Carlo (MC) simulation and Genetic ‎Algorithm (GA). Since no benchmark is available in the literature, one practical example will be presented. The computational results ‎show that our hybrid algorithm outperforms the hybrid GA algorithm which was proposed by Qin and Liu (2010) in terms of ‎runtime and solution quality. ‎ Manuscript profile

        Multi-echelon inventory systems are one of the most important and attractive areas in modelling supply chain management so that several researches and studies have been done about. In this paper, the total cost function of a two-echelon inventory system with central warehouse and many identical retailers controlled by continuous review inventory policy is estimated. We have assumed the demand in the retailers experiences independent Poisson distribution and unsatisfied demands are lost in the retailers and unsatisfied retailer order is backordered in the central warehouse. The transportation time from warehouse to each retailer and the lead time of the warehouse orders are assumed to be constant. The accuracy of the estimation is assessed by simulation. The main contribution of this paper is using statistical tools in two-echelon inventory systems analysis. Manuscript profile
