Problema de contratación de carretilleros para un almacén de productos manufacturados.
En este trabajo se analiza un problema planteado recientemente a sus autores por una empresa fabricante de componentes de automóviles. Dicha empresa almacena sus productos manufacturados hasta que los clientes (compradores) pasan a recogerlos. Los clientes solicitan sus productos con una frecuencia conocida. Se trata de determinar, en función de dichas frecuencias, en qué fechas y a qué horas o slots han de pasar los clientes a recoger sus pedidos. Fijado el horizonte temporal objeto de estudio,...

Rangements BBTOPSIS fondés sur des intervalles de proximités relatives avec qualification des préférences
In this work we propose a ranking procedure. This procedure uses an ordinal information about the criterion weights and a non-cardinal or mixed information for the potential actions evaluation. The advantage of this procedure is that it uses the linear programming software packages to compute the intervals of relative proximities from where the rankings are obtained.

Relative Measurement and Its Generalization in Decision Making. Why Pairwise Comparisons are Central in Mathematics for the Measurement of Intangible Factors. The Analytic Hierarchy/Network Process.
According to the great mathematician Henri Lebesgue, making direct comparisons of objects with regard to a property is a fundamental mathematical process for deriving measurements. Measuring objects by using a known scale first then comparing the measurements works well for properties for which scales of measurement exist. The theme of this paper is that direct comparisons are necessary to establish measurements for intangible properties that have no scales of measurement. In that case the value...
Risk minimization in the model with transaction costs
The problem of hedging a contingent claim with minimization of quadratic risk is studied. Existence of an optimal strategy for the model with proportional transaction cost and nondelayed observation is shown.
Robust parameter design using the weighted metric method - The case of 'the smaller the better'
In process robustness studies, it is desirable to minimize the influence of noise factors on the system and simultaneously determine the levels of controllable factors optimizing the overall response or outcome. In the cases when a random effects model is applicable and a fixed effects model is assumed instead, an increase in the variance of the coefficient vector should be expected. In this paper, the impacts of this assumption on the results of the experiment in the context of robust parameter...
Solution of single and multiobjective stochastic inventory models with fuzzy cost components by intuitionistic fuzzy optimization technique.
Stochastic performance measurement in two-stage network processes: A data envelopment analysis approach
In classic data envelopment analysis models, two-stage network structures are studied in cases in which the input/output data set are deterministic. In many real applications, however, we face uncertainty. This paper proposes a two-stage network DEA model when the input/output data are stochastic. A stochastic two-stage network DEA model is formulated based on the chance-constrained programming. Linearization techniques and the assumption of single underlying factor of the data are used to construct...

Task criticalness potential: A multiple criteria approach to project management
The paper proposes the method evaluating tasks criticalness potential, which has been analysed by various project management tools. The criticalness potential of tasks, as opposed to a simple differentiation of tasks to critical and non-critical using the CPM method, considers not only time, but also resource, cost and topological aspects of a project schedule. In the paper, the tasks criticalness potential is defined applying task criticalness indicators which are further used as input for three...
