Period Model

Presents a multiple‐objective mathematical programming model to co‐ordinate logistics decisions with those on the interface between the production and marketing departments. The model can help decide on an overall budget to request from senior management for logistics and these interfaces, and in systematically allocating the funds between transport, inventory and production. In so doing, this multi‐period model specifies the timing and quantity of raw‐material purchases, and the location and timing of production activities and distribution flows. The budget for expenditures on logistics and its interface activities is taken as an objective to minimise, instead of as a given dollar level to be satisfied. A second objective is to maximise the profit of logistics and its related interfaces. Trade‐offs between these two conflicting aims yields the decision maker′s “best compromise” solution.

Interval Valued

Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method has been extended in previous literature to consider the situation with interval input data. However, the weights associated with criteria are still subjectively assigned by decision makers. This paper develops a mathematical programming model to determine objective weights for the implementation of interval extension of TOPSIS. Our method not only takes into account the optimization of interval-valued Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problems, but also determines the weights only based upon the data set itself. An illustrative example is performed to compare our results with that of existing literature.

In this paper, we develop a hybrid bi-objective credibility-based fuzzy mathematical programming model for portfolio selection under fuzzy environment. To deal with imprecise parameters, we use a hybrid credibility-based approach that combines the expected value and chance constrained programming techniques. The model simultaneously maximizes the portfolio return and minimizes the portfolio risk. We also consider an additional important criterion, namely, portfolio liquidity as a constraint in the model to make it better suited for practical applications. The proposed fuzzy optimization model is solved using a two-phase approach. An empirical study is included to demonstrate applicability of the proposed model and the solution approach in real-world applications of portfolio selection.

BEGRAB_PRO.1 – a mathematical programming model for BEef and GRAssland Biodiversity PRoduction Optimisation – elaborated for analysis of organic suckler cow farms in the Protected Landscape Area White Carpathians, the Czech Republic, is presented and applied to the analysis of jointness between several environmental goods. In this way, the paper complements recent studies on jointness between commodities and non-commodities. If these goods are joint in production, agri-environmental payments must be carefully designed because they do not influence only production of the environmental good they are intended for but also the production of other environmental goods. If jointness is negative, any increase in the payment for an environmental good leads to a decrease in production of other environmental goods.
