Power outage is one of the significant problems for electricity distribution companies. Power outages cause customer dissatisfaction and reduce distribution companies' profits and revenues. Therefore, the electricity distribution companies are trying to moderate the leading causes of the outage. However, the dynamics of environmental conditions cre...

Developing the power plants in any country is considered an economic development strategy as it changes the country’s market despite the competitive pressures. However, to grow the electricity market, policymakers need to evaluate the domestic Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) of electric power plants. So, the necessity of a...

Dust emission is one of the critical problems of the mining industry. Dust emission can cause respiratory diseases among workers and adjacent residents of the factory and environmental pollution in the region. This study aims to reduce dust emissions of an iron ore concentrate plant in Iran. Applying dust control methods can affect the production p...

Predictive maintenance is the most common example given for IIoT offers on the market and is attracting industry funds and research attention. This article's primary purpose is a systematic review of the maintenance literature focusing on the Internet of Things to understand the field better and find research gaps. In this study, recent articles in...

This paper investigates a bi-objective green hub location problem, in which multiple perishable products with various storage temperatures can be distributed simultaneously in a cold supply chain (CSC). The objectives of this problem include minimizing the system's total cost (including transportation, hub establishment, adjustment of the storage c...

Appointment scheduling for outpatient services is a challenge in the healthcare sector. For addressing this challenge, most studies assumed that patients’ unpunctuality and the duration of service have constant values or a specific probability distribution function. Consequently, there is a research gap to consider the uncertainty of both patients’...

Chemical sector contributes extensively to the economic development of countries, however, it is one of the main water-consuming industries. Considering that the corporate water accounting along complete SCs can help companies in improving their sustainable water managements along their value chains, this paper aims to study the water consumption i...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the project completion time and cost under non-deterministic conditions using interval gray numbers (IGNs). Design/methodology/approach The earned value management (EVM) method based on the IGN has been developed. Findings The EVM method based on the IGN has been verified by a numerical example th...

Efficient water allocation is one of the most prominent issues in water resources management. In this research, a two-stage interval-parameter stochastic fuzzy programming with type 2 membership functions was used to allocate water resources optimally to different users under uncertainty. This method can handle uncertainties expressed as probabilit...

Energy is one of the essential elements of country's development. Every activity need energy in different manner. Nowadays, the importance degree of energy consumption and the need for consumption reduction is explicit for all. Electricity industry is one of the developing industries in industrial societies. This research aims to analysis the energ...

Knowledge management is one of the main driver of innovation in organizations that acts in a set form of processes and technology. In different organizations the trend of knowledge process maturity has its specific dynamics. For understanding this dynamics, a system analyzing is required. Therefore, the aim of this paper is the system analysis of k...

Purpose Nowadays, green supply chain (SC) management acts as an important strategic issue for the manufacturers. The effective SC design requires the development of analytical models and design tools. Because of the key role of steel in the infrastructure of industries, this metal is called the development metal. Despite the importance of this ind...

Supplier selection as a multi-criteria decision-making problem that highly depends on the decision makers' vision has a major issue among supply chain (SC) managers. SC sustainability, which pays attention to the environmental, economic, and social aspects in SC, has been recently highlighted in the evaluation process undergone by the SC managers....

Information security can be achieved by implementing a set of appropriate controls. However, identifying and selecting the most effective information security controls in organizations have been major challenges for years. Although many studies have been done to address these challenges, there is still lack of research to rank these controls. In th...

International outsourcing seems to be a cost efficient way of production. However, there are serious concerns about its long term impacts on the environmental, social and economic sustainability. This paper aims to quantify these impacts by using input output analysis, linear programming and system dynamics in a case study including European electr...

Purpose – The value adding of each industry represents the value difference between the outputs and inputs of that industry. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of international outsourcing on the value adding of industries. Design/methodology/approach – Input output analysis and linear programming are used as for the research m...

International outsourcing is a growing phenomenon in manufacturing industries due to the limited resources and The economic benefits of this phenomenon. Although international outsourcing seems to be a cost efficient way of production, the concerns about its Co2 emissions are rising dramatically. In this research, the impacts of international outso...

One of the main problems in Spare Parts Supply Chain Management (SPSCM) is inadequacy of the current approaches to forecast the demand patterns [1]. According to Bangemann et al. [2], SPSCM is one of the e-maintenance functions. On the other hand, some studies illustrated that many Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) in maintenance management (MM) a...

Grossman and Helpman [1] indicated in their article that “we live in an age of outsourcing”. However, globalization also increases the distance between cause and effect while it shrinks the world [2]. Therefore, lengthy supply chains, unseen pollution externalities and related global market complexities sever both producers and consumers from negat...

Although teaching and research are considered as the two major tasks of any university, they are difficult to measure. To measure the relative efficiency of a set of Decision-Making Units (DMUs) that utilize the same inputs to produce the same outputs, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been demonstrated to be a suitable method. The Faculty of Man...
