Disasters have been striking human-beings from the beginning of history and their management is a global concern of the international community. Minimizing the impact and consequences of these disasters, both natural and human-made, involves many decision and logistic processes that should be optimized. A crucial logistic problem is the evacuation of the affected population, and the focus of this paper is the planning of supported evacuation of vulnerable people to safe places when necessary. A lexicographic goal programming model for supported evacuation is proposed, whose main novelties are the classification of potential evacuees according to their health condition, so that they can be treated accordingly; the introduction of dynamism regarding the arrival of potential evacuees to the pickup points, according to their own susceptibility about the disaster and the joint consideration of objectives such us number of evacuated people, operation time and cost, among which no trade-off is possible. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated through a realistic case study regarding the earthquake and tsunami that hit Palu (Indonesia) in September 2018.

Any bank’s financial management is essential to preparing the assets and liabilities for multiple goals. In this paper, we develop an optimal bank model for the financial management department in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The lexicographic goal programming model was used to formulate the banks’ performance management. In this study, the six goals of one of the leading banks in Saudi Arabia, namely, maximize asset, minimize liability, maximize equity, maximize operating income, maximize net income, and maximizing total goal achievements in the financial statement, were studied. To illustrate the model, we have focused on Al Rajhi Bank’s financial statements as a case study. The data was obtained from the banks’ financial statements. The outcomes of the study exhibited that all goals were accomplished. This proposed model is dynamic because it will help examine the banks’ financial strengths located in the kingdom. As a result, the proposed model can guide banking firms in making decisions and developing strategies to deal with numerous monetary circumstances.

This paper proposes the use of a goal programming model for the objective ranking of universities. This methodology has been successfully used in other areas to analyze the performance of firms by focusing on two opposite approaches: (a) one favouring those performance variables that are aligned with the central tendency of the majority of the variables used in the measurement of the performance, and (b) an alternative one that favours those different, singular, or independent performance variables. Our results are compared with the ranking proposed by two popular World University Rankings, and some insightful differences are outlined. We show how some top-performing universities occupy the best positions regardless of the approach followed by the goal programming model, hence confirming their leadership. In addition, our proposal allows for an objective quantification of the importance of each variable in the performance of universities, which could be of great interest to decision-makers.
