Shared information in a serial inventory system [electronic resource]
, Article International Journal of Advanced Operations Management - IJAOM ; 2011 Vol.3, No.2 pp.101 - 121 ; Eshraghniaye Jahromi, Abdolhamid ; Eshghi, Kourosh ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In this study, a supply chain model consisting of a single product, one supplier and one retailer is considered. Transportation times are constant and demands at the retailer are assumed to be generated by a stationary Poisson process. Demands not covered immediately from inventory are backordered. The retailer carries inventory and replenishes stock according to a (Q, R) policy. The supplier has online information about the demand at the retailer and uses this information to replenish its stock. The order size at the supplier is a multiple integer to the retailer's order size. Considering order costs for the retailer and the supplier, we derive the exact cost function for this inventory...

Abstract
In many real world optimization problems, including Redundancy Allocation Problem (RAP), there is a need to optimize more than one objective function simultaneously. In this paper, a new multi-objective formulation is presented for the RAP by considering the reliability and cost of the system as the objective functions. The previous formulations have been proposed based on the assumption that all components of a subsystem are homogeneous. This constraint leads to an increase in the designing cost and prevents from reaching to higher quantities of the system reliability. The presented formulation in this research provides an opportunity for the subsystems components to be non-homogeneous in...
A particle swarm-BFGS algorithm for nonlinear programming problems
, Article Computers and Operations Research ; Volume 40, Issue 4 , April , 2013 , Pages 963-972 ; 03050548 (ISSN) ; Aliakbari Shandiz, R ; Eshraghniaye Jahromi, A ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
This article proposes a hybrid optimization algorithm based on a modified BFGS and particle swarm optimization to solve medium scale nonlinear programs. The hybrid algorithm integrates the modified BFGS into particle swarm optimization to solve augmented Lagrangian penalty function. In doing so, the algorithm launches into a global search over the solution space while keeping a detailed exploration into the neighborhoods. To shed light on the merit of the algorithm, we provide a test bed consisting of 30 test problems to compare our algorithm against two of its variations along with two state-of-the-art nonlinear optimization algorithms. The numerical experiments illustrate that the proposed...

Supplier Selection and Order Lot Sizing under Volume Discount Environments in a Supply Chain Using Multi Criteria Decision Making Approach
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Eshraghniaye Jahromi, Abdolhamid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Traditionally, supplier selection should simultaneously take into account numerous heterogeneous criteria and then is a tedious task for the purchasing decision makers. The global supplier selection problem is more complex than domestic one and it needs more critical analysis. It becomes especially complicated when quantity discounts are considered at the same time. Under such manner, most studies often formulate such a problem as a Multi-Objective Linear Programming (MOLP) problem, and then scale it down to a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) problem to handle the inherited multi-objectives simultaneously. However, this approach often neglects to consider scaling and subjective weighting...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Eshraghniaye Jahromi, Abdolhamid (Supervisor)
Abstract
In the last few decades due to technological progress and more attention to cost reduction of production, production systems have become more automated than before. By increasing the role of machines in manufacturing systems maintenance systems have become more important. One of the factors that influence the complexity of maintenance problem in real world is the interdependency of components in a system. Interacting cooperation between these components intensifies the complexity of the problem’s modeling as well as its optimizing. This complexity result in few studies that have been performed in this field. Thus these works can be broken into two main subjects. In the first case a system...

Presentation of Applicable Linear Program Model for Reverse Logistics
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Eshraghniaye Jahromi, Abdolhamid (Supervisor)
Abstract
We probably can say all people that are familiar with industrial engineering, have some information about supply chain management. Of course some people have more information about it and some have less. However, it is expected that they have some information about logistics because logistics is one of the most important elements in supply chain management. But it is sure that they have no information or less information about reverse logistics. That is why I have chosen this subject as my thesis. I have presented an optimization model with a numerical example
