Oil supply chains play a vital role in the day-to-day functioning of national economies and obstruction in its services can lead to dire consequences. For this purpose, it is imperative for oil supply chains to be on guard against all probable vulnerabilities and develop adequate protection mechanisms. This research study aims to identify the most important vulnerabilities for oil supply chains in the context of Pakistan, a developing country. Subsequently, these identified vulnerabilities were used to design a protection framework, embodying different supply chain capabilities. For this purpose, this study employs a hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision Making approach. Full Consistency Method (FUCOM) has been used to prioritise vulnerabilities and Fuzzy Quality Function Deployment (QFD) has been used to identify those capabilities that can ensure protection against these vulnerabilities. Results indicate that crude oil price instability, fuel price shocks, unpredictable demand, and information and communication disruptions are the most important and catastrophic vulnerabilities in the context of Pakistan’s oil industry. For mitigation of these vulnerabilities, oil supply chains need to incorporate real-time information sharing, visibility, e-procurement, traceability, and transparency as resilience measures. These recommendations are of considerable importance to Pakistan’s oil industry and policy-making authorities. Moreover, this study fulfils the research gap by focusing on enhancing the resilience of Pakistan’s oil supply chains, with the aid of MCDM techniques.
石油供应链在国民经济的日常运作中发挥着至关重要的作用,阻碍其服务可能会导致可怕的后果。为此,石油供应链必须警惕所有可能的漏洞,并制定适当的保护机制。本研究旨在确定巴基斯坦这个发展中国家石油供应链最重要的脆弱性。随后,这些识别出的漏洞被用来设计一个保护框架,体现不同的供应链能力。为此,本研究采用混合多准则决策方法。已使用完全一致性方法(FUCOM)来确定漏洞的优先级,并使用模糊质量功能部署(QFD)来确定可以确保对这些漏洞进行保护的能力。结果表明,原油价格不稳定、燃料价格冲击、不可预测的需求以及信息和通信中断是巴基斯坦石油行业最重要的灾难性脆弱性。为了缓解这些脆弱性,石油供应链需要将实时信息共享、可见性、电子采购、可追溯性和透明度作为弹性措施。这些建议对巴基斯坦的石油工业和决策当局具有相当重要的意义。此外,本研究在MCDM技术的帮助下,通过专注于提高巴基斯坦石油供应链的弹性,填补了研究空白。

Decision-making represents a very popular field with many developed approaches. However, still exists the need for the creation of novel integrated models such as well is the case in this paper. The novel integrated Improved Fuzzy Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (IMF SWARA) method, Fuzzy Dombi weighted geometric averaging (FDWGA) operator and PESTEL (P-Political, E-Economic, S-Social, T-Technological, E-Environmental, L-Legal) model has been developed. Five decision-makers (DMs) have evaluated six main elements of the PESTEL analysis and 30 elements more (five for each group). In total, we have created 35 models based on the developed model. Results of PESTEL analysis based on IMF SWARA method and FDWGA shows that legal and economic factors represent the most significant parameters, while last placed belong environmental group. Also, the usefulness of the developed integrated model has been demonstrated.

The location selection of facilities became a major interest for the organizations to establish their planned business for a long period of time. The choice of the best location among a set of candidate locations is a complex process. Although the multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods are applicable for location selection problems, different solutions can be obtained using different MCDM methods. Thus, a comparative study between four different MCDM methods was applied within numerical example to show the deviations in ranking of the alternatives that occurs when different methods are used. The weights of attributes are assigned using objective method namely Entropy weight method. The rank disagreements are expressed using spearman`s correlation coefficients.
在很长一段时间内,设施的选址成为组织建立其计划业务的主要兴趣。在一组候选位置中选择最佳位置是一个复杂的过程。虽然多准则决策(MCDM)方法适用于选址问题,但不同的MCDM方法可以得到不同的解。因此,在数值算例中应用了四种不同MCDM方法之间的比较研究,以显示使用不同方法时备选方案排名的偏差。采用客观的熵权法赋予属性的权重。等级差异用spearman相关系数表示。

Scheduling with lot streaming in a two-machine re-entrant flow shop 双机可重入流车间的批流调度

Lot streaming is splitting a job-lot of identical items into several sublots (portions of a lot) that can be moved to the next machines upon completion so that operations on successive machines can be overlapped; hence, the overall performance of a multi-stage manufacturing environment can be improved. In this study, we consider a scheduling problem with lot streaming in a two-machine re-entrant flow shop in which each job-lot is processed first on Machine 1, then goes to Machine 2 for its second operation before it returns to the primary machine (either Machine 1 or Machine 2) for the third operation. For the two cases of the primary machine, both single-job and multi-job cases are studied independently. Optimal and near-optimal solution procedures are developed. Our objective is to minimize the makespan, which is the maximum completion time of the sublots and job lots in the single-job and multi-job cases, respectively. We prove that the single-job problem is optimally solved in polynomial-time regardless of whether the third operation is performed on Machine 1 or Machine 2. The multi-job problem is also optimally solvable in polynomial time when the third operation is performed on Machine 2. However, we prove that the multi-job problem is NP-hard when the third operation is performed on Machine 1. A global lower bound on the makespan and a simple heuristic algorithm are developed. Our computational experiment results reveal that our proposed heuristic algorithm provides optimal or near-optimal solutions in a very short time.
批次流是将一个相同项目的作业批次划分为几个子批次(批次的一部分),这些子批次可以在完成后移动到下一台机器,以便在连续机器上的操作可以重叠;因此,可以提高多阶段制造环境的整体性能。在这项研究中,我们考虑了一个在两台机器的可重入流车间中具有批次流的调度问题,在该车间中,每个作业批次首先在机器1上处理,然后进入机器2进行第二次操作,然后返回主机器(机器1或机器2)进行第三次操作。对于主机器的两种情况,单独研究了单作业和多作业情况。开发了最优和接近最优的求解程序。我们的目标是最大限度地缩短完工时间,即分别在单作业和多作业情况下子批次和作业批次的最大完工时间。我们证明了无论第三次运算是在机器1上还是在机器2上进行,单任务问题都能在多项式时间内最优求解。当在机器2上执行第三次操作时,多任务问题也可以在多项式时间内最优求解。然而,我们证明了当在机器1上执行第三次操作时,多任务问题是NP困难的。给出了完工时间的全局下界和一个简单的启发式算法。我们的计算实验结果表明,我们提出的启发式算法在很短的时间内提供了最优或接近最优的解。

The effects of cell phone use on motorcycle riders’ behaviour are studied in smart city, Bhubaneswar, capital of state odisha, India. Most of motorcycle riders confess using cell phone devices while driving. Moreover, relationship between near miss and accidents has been found with the use of cell phone, reflecting a risk factor for motorcycle riders.“ This study examines the relationship between such type of behaviours, comprising calling and manipulating the screen, and the frequency of near miss and actual accidents among motorcycle riders. We conducted a web based survey measuring cell phone-specific violations, human errors, near miss and accident to motorcycle riders (N=289; age range; 18-60). We hypothesized that the relationship between cell phone use and near miss would be explained by an increase in the number of human errors committed, thus increasing the likelihood of being involved in near miss. Moreover, we hypothesized that near miss will predict actual accidents. Outcomes of path analysis showed that cell phone-specific violations predicted accidents throughout their consecutive effects on human errors and near miss only in the subsample of men. These findings offer an explanation of how cell phone use contributes to increase the likelihood of getting involved in near miss and actual accidents. The current study builds a path model explaining how cell phone-specific violations lead to more near miss among motorcycle riders.
在印度奥迪沙州首府布巴内斯瓦尔的智能城市,研究了使用手机对摩托车驾驶员行为的影响。大多数摩托车驾驶员承认在开车时使用了手机设备。此外,手机的使用发现了未遂事故和事故之间的关系,反映了摩托车驾驶员的一个风险因素。“这项研究考察了摩托车驾驶员的这类行为(包括呼叫和操纵屏幕)与未遂事故和实际事故的频率之间的关系。我们进行了一项基于网络的调查,测量了摩托车驾驶员手机特有的违规行为、人为失误、未遂事故和事故(N=289;年龄段;18-60岁)。我们假设,使用手机和未遂事故之间的关系将通过犯下的人为错误数量的增加来解释,从而增加了发生未遂事故的可能性。此外,我们假设未遂事故将预测实际事故。路径分析的结果表明,只有在男性的子样本中,特定于手机的违规行为才能预测事故对人为失误和未遂事件的连续影响。这些发现解释了使用手机是如何增加发生未遂事故和实际事故的可能性的。目前的研究建立了一个路径模型,解释了特定于手机的违规行为如何导致摩托车骑手中更多的未遂事件。

Full attention is paid to quality in manufacturing; however, less effort is made to develop the organizational performance, which drives overall manufacturing quality. This research measures performance of one manufacturing company that in 2020 experienced surging in demand and experiencing barriers to social activities due to the pandemic. The evaluation was carried out using seven variables from the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence (MBCfPE) which were elaborated into 43 indicators of organizational performance. Weaknesses and strengths of organizational performance were sharpened through focus group discussions with experts and ended with a performance improvement solution with a priority rank based on risk priority numbers (RPN) of the FMEA method. The highest RPN is 567 and 432, respectively, for national standard implementation in a particular product and operational scheme during emergency conditions like the Cov-19 pandemic. This study contributes to Indonesian research that combines questionnaires and FMEA improvement analysis based on the US Baldrige criterion.

Pakistan is working on two pipeline projects, namely, Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) and Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipelines, to meet its energy supply-demand gap. This study's aims to compare these two projects and identify the most suitable option for Pakistan. Furthermore, as the TAPI project is progressing faster than the IPI project, this study also aims to identify the critical activities associated with TAPI projects. Finally, a model is proposed to optimize the material and transportation costs related to the TAPI project. The study's contribution by using fuzzy set theory-based multi-criteria decision-making (Fuzzy MCDM) to compare two projects along with usage of the Fuzzy Critical Path Method (FCPM) for the identification of critical activities associated with the TAPI project. Finally, the Genetic Algorithm is applied to optimize the material and transportation costs of the TAPI project. The results show that IPI has advantages over TAPI in terms of power generation, transportation cost, transits fee, and gas prices. The critical path analysis of the TAPI gas pipeline shows that it will take approximately 75 to 330.5 weeks to complete. The study is useful for the managers who have to work in these projects, the policymakers considering these projects at various levels, and the researcher having an interest in applying Fuzzy set theory with MCDM, CPM, and in the context of the energy infrastructure.
巴基斯坦正在建设两个管道项目,即伊朗-巴基斯坦-印度(IPI)和土库曼斯坦-阿富汗-巴基斯坦-印度(TAPI)天然气管道,以弥补其能源供需缺口。本研究的目的是比较这两个项目,并确定最适合巴基斯坦的选择。此外,由于TAPI项目比IPI项目进展得更快,本研究还旨在确定与TAPI项目相关的关键活动。最后,提出了一个与TAPI项目相关的材料和运输成本优化模型。本研究的贡献是使用基于模糊集理论的多准则决策(fuzzy MCDM)来比较两个项目,并使用模糊关键路径方法(FCPM)来识别与TAPI项目相关的关键活动。最后,应用遗传算法对TAPI项目的材料成本和运输成本进行优化。结果表明,IPI在发电、运输成本、过境费、燃气价格等方面均优于TAPI。TAPI天然气管道的关键路径分析显示,完成该管道大约需要75至330.5周。该研究对必须在这些项目中工作的管理人员,在各个层面考虑这些项目的政策制定者,以及对模糊集理论与MCDM, CPM以及能源基础设施背景下应用感兴趣的研究人员都很有用。

Inventory management is an extremely difficult task. It has become usual practice for a provider during the last few decades to provide a retailer with a credit term. In this article, a non-instantly degradable products inventory system is built with a price-sensitive demand and a Weibull credit term allocation reduction rate. Some backlogged deficiencies are permitted. The aim is to maximize the total profit in this study by taking three cases into account. Numerical examples, graphical representations and sensitivity analysis demonstrate the application of the approach developed in this study.

The deterioration of environmental factors, economic and technological development, the formation of complexity in societies, the rise of complex structures have made the environment and green management practices more important. Especially value-creating green approaches are considered as critical components in both public and private sector applications and defined as indicators of success in terms of sustainability. On the other hand, green marketing strategies are also important practices that have a positive impact on the environment and should be carefully emphasized for the inheritance of nature to future generations. Recently, it has been on the agenda quite a lot and it is understood for all sectors.In this study, it is aimed to determine the criteria for value-creating green approach practices in logistics companies operating in the TR A1 region due to the above mentioned importance and to choose the most ideal green marketing strategy. In solving this problem, Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods, which are a complex decision-making method, have been used. According to the results of the research, it was determined that the most important criterion in value creating green approach applications as Environmental Focused Strategic Decisions (C3), and the least important criterion as Environmental Life Cycle Analysis (C2). It has been determined that the most ideal green marketing strategy is Green Innovation (A1). Accordingly the importance of the environmental based strategic decisions is revealed in terms of creating green marketing strategy for companies.
环境因素的恶化、经济和技术的发展、社会复杂性的形成、复杂结构的兴起,使环境和绿色管理实践变得更加重要。特别是创造价值的绿色方法被认为是公共和私营部门应用的关键组成部分,并被定义为可持续性方面的成功指标。另一方面,绿色营销策略也是对环境产生积极影响的重要做法,应认真强调,将自然传承给子孙后代。最近,它被提上了很多议程,所有部门都理解它。在本研究中,由于上述重要性,旨在确定在TR A1地区运营的物流公司价值创造绿色方法实践的标准,并选择最理想的绿色营销策略。在解决这一问题时,使用了多准则决策方法,这是一种复杂的决策方法。根据研究结果,确定了创造价值的绿色方法应用中最重要的标准是以环境为中心的战略决策(C3),而最不重要的标准则是环境生命周期分析(C2)。已经确定,最理想的绿色营销策略是绿色创新(A1)。因此,基于环境的战略决策在为企业制定绿色营销战略方面的重要性得到了揭示。
