        In this paper, a multi-product continues review inventory control problem within batch arrival queuing approach (MQr/M/1) is modeled to find the optimal quantities of maximum inventory. The objective function is to minimize summation of ordering, holding and shortage costs under warehouse space, service level, and expected lost-sales shortage cost constraints from retailer and warehouse viewpoints. Since the proposed model is Np-Hard, an efficient imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is proposed to solve the model. To justify proposed ICA, a simulated annealing algorithm has been utilized. In order to determine the best value of algorithms parameters that result in a better solution, a fine-tuning procedure is executed. Finally, the performance of the proposed ICA is analyzed using some numerical illustrations. Manuscript profile

        Measurement systems analysis (MSA) has been applied in different aspect of industrial assessments to evaluate various types of quantitative and qualitative measures. Qualification of a measurement system depends on two important features: accuracy and precision. Since the capability of each quality system is severely related to the capability of its measurement system, the weakness of the two mentioned features can reduce the reliance on the qualitative decisions. Consequently, since in the literature fuzzy MSA is not considered as an independent study, in this paper, a fuzzy method is developed for increasing method accuracy and precision by encountering the impreciseness of some measures of MSA. To do so, bias, capability, and gauge repeatability and reproducibility (GR&R) indices are considered as triangular fuzzy numbers. The application of the proposed method is illustrated through a case study taken from an automotive parts industry. All rights reserved. Manuscript profile

        Facility location-allocation models are used in a widespread variety of applications to determine the number of required facility along with the relevant allocation process. In this paper, a new mathematical model for the capacitated multi-facility location-allocation problem with probabilistic customer's locations and fuzzy customer’s demands under the Hurwicz criterion is proposed. This model is formulated as α-cost minimization model according to different criteria. Since our problem is strictly Np-hard, a new hybrid intelligent algorithm is presented to solve the stochastic-fuzzy model. The proposed algorithm is based on a vibration damping optimization (VDO) algorithm which is combined with the simplex algorithm and fuzzy simulation (SFVDO). Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the capability of the proposed solving methodologies. Manuscript profile
