Various approaches have been proposed to identify and improve processes. Process mining is a new process management approach which is supposed to discover and improve the actual process model based on information technology. Despite of the theoretical development, authors have paid less attention to process mining applicability. In this paper applicability of the Fuzzy Miner algorithm of process mining to semi-automatic processes is investigated. We used PM2 methodology with some changes at the first and the fifth step to discover a semi-automated process model. At the first step manual and system data is combined and the desired detail level is determined by process owners. Then the model is discovered by means of Fuzzy Miner algorithm through ProM tool. As the manual data could affect the discovered model adversely so besides conformance checking criteria a new expert based criteria is proposed to validate the model. The expert validation criteria is equal to 87.2 percent for the discovered model of the selected process which means process mining could be applied to semi-automated processes successfullyNowadays the process performance is a key success factor in the competitive environment of banking industry.

Most of the scholars have considered the factors leading to success as static and they have not taken into account their dynamic nature. Since the relationships among the influential factors which can lead to the success of developing new products have various dynamics and feedbacks, tools for the identification of dynamics in such systems are among the most useful tools which can be used for investigative purposes in this domain. In the present study, which aimed at identifying and analyzing the dynamics of factors affecting the success of new product development, the key variables for the development of new products were identified based on the theoretical backgrounds and the ideas of experts in the industry and then the causal relationships among them were drawn. Subsequently, the mathematical relationships among these variables were determined based on the existing relationships among them in the literature and as a practical step the intended system was simulated in Nooshin Azar Food Company in the time span of 1384 to 1404. For improving the performance of the companies, policies like increased management support, more investment in research and development and improvement of product development planning were suggested and the results which can be derived by applying these scenarios were simulated as well.The companies for their growth and survival in competitive domains must develop new products; however, innovation required for this process is a risky and costly enterprise.

So, appropriate scheduling of operations in order to increase the efficiency of the operating rooms, are significant research topics in medical care.

The design of distribution systems raises hard combinatorial optimization problems. In recent years, two main problems in the design of distribution networks that are location of distribution centres and routing of distributors are considered together and created the location-routing problem. The location-routing problem (LRP), integrates the two kinds of decisions. The classical LRP, consists in opening a subset of depots, assigning customers to them and determining vehicle routes, to minimize total cost of the problem. In this paper, a dynamic capacitated location-routing problem is considered that there are a number of potential depot locations and customers with specific demand and locations, and some vehicles with a certain capacity. Decisions concerning facility locations are permitted to be made only in the first time period of the planning horizon but, the routing decisions may be changed in each time period. In this study, customer demands depend on the products offering prices. The corresponding model and presented results related to the implementation of the model by different solution methods have been analysed by different methods. A hybrid heuristic algorithm based on particle swarm optimization is proposed to solve the problem. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, the proposed algorithm results are compared with exact algorithm optimal value and lower bounds. The comparison between hybrid proposed algorithm and exact solutions are performed and computational experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.One of the most important problems of logistic networks is designing and analyzing of the distribution network.

Then, scenarios are created using Taguchi design of experiments (DOE) method, and are executed with the market model and the supply chain model to capture total cost, total CO2 and market share.

In this study, a two-echelon supply chain with one retailer and one supplier is considered. Demand is stochastic and has a normal distribution and lead time is assumed deterministic. The retailer uses a periodic review inventory system for his replenishment decisions and faces partial shortages. Review period and order-up-to-level are decision variables of the retailer. First, the optimized values of the variables in both decentralized and centralized decision-making structures are obtained. Although Centralized decision making increases the whole SC’s profitability, it reduces the profitability of the retailer in comparison with the decentralized model; In order to make centralized decisions and to encourage the retailer to change his decisions, a coordination model is proposed. Quantity discount contract is used as an incentive scheme in the coordinated model. For calculating the exact value of the discount factor in this contract, the both member’s profit is considered. Furthermore, to fairly share the extra profit achieved by the coordinated model, a profit-sharing strategy, based on the bargaining power of the members, is proposed. A set of numerical experiments and sensitivity analysis, which is performed with respect to several key parameters of the study, reveal that, from economic viewpoint, the proposed coordination model for the supplier-distributor channel, can increase the channel profit up to its optimal profit level and guarantee the improvement of channel members’ profit in comparison with their profit under the decentralized model. From inventory management viewpoint, the proposed discount contract reduces the distributor’s inventory shortage risk.

In project selection, optimized decision to maximizing utilization of limited resources and achieving organizational goals by considering restrictions are important. Therefore, to facilitate project portfolio selection in project-based organizations, an efficient model is proposed that is able to consider limitations, goals, and priorities of the organization in selecting the optimal combination of projects. The proposed model is a hybrid and flexible one which, including four main steps. First, with initial screening, to save time and money by using non-compensatory method, some of the poor candidate options are deleted. Then, due to multi-criteria nature of the problem, qualitative and quantitative criteria, and uncertainty of data in real world, the projects are ranked using fuzzy analytic hierarchy processes and uncertain judgments of decision-makers. To generate project baskets, integer linear programming (ILP), backpack model, is employed modifying the coefficients of the objective function of each project to preserve multi-criteria rating of projects, and then evaluate and rank the baskets. To validate the proposed model, we have carried out selection of project portfolio in the oil refining industry.The selection of project portfolio is the main problem in project-based organizations.
