Abstract

This research presents a stochastic Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model for production and supply chain planning. The objective is to evaluate the efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs) in a system considering the stochastic nature of inputs and outputs. The proposed model incorporates uncertainty by assuming normal distributions for the stochastic variables. The model formulates a linear programming problem to maximize the efficiency scores of DMUs subject to constraints that ensure the efficiency of the system. The weights assigned to DMUs and input variables provide insights into their relative importance. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the application of the model, and the results highlight the efficiency scores and weights for the DMUs. The findings contribute to improving decision-making in production and supply chain systems under uncertain conditions. The developed model offers a practical tool for evaluating efficiency and identifying areas for improvement in real-world systems. Further research can explore extensions and variations of the model to enhance its applicability in different contexts

Abstract

The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) involves finding optimal routes for a fleet of vehicles to serve a set of clients while minimizing costs or optimizing efficiency. Scalability and uncertainty handling are issues with traditional VRP solutions. This study integrates Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) with Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to improve VRP solutions. Deep RL algorithms let agents learn optimal decision-making rules by interacting with the environment, whereas GNNs capture the VRP's graph representation's spatial and structural relationships. This research uses deep RL and GNNs to improve VRP solutions. The project intends to create an agent that can reason about customer, vehicle, and depot interactions and make educated routing decisions depending on the problem state by integrating deep RL agents with GNN models. Formulating the problem, preprocessing the data, constructing state and action representations, defining reward functions, training the deep RL agent and GNN models, and assessing the proposed strategy using benchmark VRP datasets. The merged deep RL-GNN technique improves VRP solutions. Optimized routing reduces travel expenses, improves resource use, and boosts efficiency. This research shows how deep RL and GNNs can overcome the limits of classic optimization methods for vehicle routing optimization. The findings emphasize the need of integrating advanced machine learning techniques into the VRP domain, enabling more effective and scalable real-world vehicle routing systems

Abstract

This study suggests combining Goal Programming, Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), and Dynamic Decision-Making to solve production planning difficulties. Production planning entails balancing conflicting goals and dynamic circumstances when allocating resources, scheduling production, and managing inventory. The hybrid approach provides decision-makers with a comprehensive and adaptive framework that balances conflicting objectives, analyzes options using numerous criteria, and accounts for the dynamic production environment. Goal Programming helps solve the production planning challenge. MCDM methods like AHP or TOPSIS analyze and rank various production plans based on multiple factors. Dynamic Decision-Making methods like stochastic programming or simulation optimization accommodate for demand, supply, and other uncertainties in the production environment. A numerical example shows how the hybrid approach develops an optimal production plan by minimizing deviations from desired targets. Decision-makers can evaluate objective priorities and their effects on the solution by altering objective weights in sensitivity analysis. The hybrid approach can handle conflicting objectives, evaluate options using numerous criteria, and adapt to a dynamic production environment, according to studies. The suggested approach provides decision-makers with a comprehensive framework for efficient and successful production planning, adding to current information. Applying the hybrid method to real-world case studies, addressing supply chain dynamics and sustainability, and using AI and machine learning to improve decision-making are future research objectives. Production planning using Goal Programming, MCDM, and Dynamic Decision-Making seems promising. It helps manufacturers optimize resource allocation, customer happiness, and operational efficiency

Abstract

In unpredictable and imprecise production environments, this research introduces a stochastic fuzzy decision model for the manufacturing industry. Decision-makers can use the stochastic and fuzzy logic model to capture uncertainties, variability, and language representations of industrial factors. The choice problem, fuzzy input variables, and crisp outcome variables are identified to start the research. Linguistic terms related with fuzzy input variables are represented by fuzzy sets and membership functions. Fuzzy rules link fuzzy input variables to crisp output variables based on expert knowledge or historical data. Objective function, restrictions, and fuzzy rules are incorporated into the stochastic fuzzy decision model's mathematical formulation. Decision-makers can maximize outcomes by considering stochastic factors and fuzzy logic with the model. The model uses an optimization technique to find the optimal choice variable values. A numerical example of manufacturing production planning illustrates the model's use. The results show that the stochastic fuzzy decision model may minimize production costs by calculating optimal production quantities depending on demand. The research concludes that the proposed approach helps manufacturing companies make decisions. Decision-makers can use the model to make educated judgments despite uncertainties and inaccurate information. Future study will explore additional aspects and integrate the model into decision support systems or industrial software. In dynamic and uncertain manufacturing contexts, the stochastic fuzzy decision model empowers manufacturing decision-makers to make optimal decisions
