Purpose: One of the most vital subcategories of the health care system is organ transplantation, and since organ transplant centers deal directly with surgical operations and, as a result, human lives, the importance of this issue has received more attention. One of the major differences between the organ transplant supply chain and other supply chains is the possibility of corruption of related products. Therefore, the time and also the location of organ transplant centers are of special importance. On the other hand, due to the rapid growth of the demand for organ transplantation and the lack of resources, the patient's waiting time to complete the transplantation process plays a vital role in the organ transplantation system.Methodology: This study presents a robust bi-objective mathematical model for the location problem of allocating organ transplant centers under uncertainty, which includes the total costs of the organ transplant system as well as the average patient waiting time for organ transplantation, which follows a G/G/m queuing system.Findings: To solve this model, the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) has been used. Finally, the applicability of this model and the efficiency of the mentioned algorithm compared to the defined indicators have been shown through numerical experiments.Originality/Value: Since each organ can spend a certain amount of time outside the body and there is a possibility of corruption or a decrease in the quality of the transplant, the time between the organ leaving the body and the completion of the transplant operation plays an essential role in the transplant system.

Purpose: Optimizing the negative balance of the financial portfolio of branches by observing the limits defined in the banking system of Iran.Methodology: In recent years, several models have been proposed for the investment portfolio. In banks, Fundraising operations are carried out in parallel with investments. Attracting deposits and repaying loans are the main pillars of investment and form the basis of the resource and expenditure portfolio in the bank. In this research, a multi-objective planning model is designed to maximize returns and minimize risk.Findings: The approach of the problem is such that by taking administrative and personnel costs and interest rates on deposits and facilities and exchange rates of the domestic market can offer a variety of portfolios. The branches select the appropriate portfolio as the goal and work plan according to their requirements.Originality/Value: Due to the nature of the problem, which is hard nonlinear, the model is solved using NSGA-II evolutionary algorithm. The output of solving the problem is a set of optimal solutions on the Pareto frontier. Each of the portfolios is a strategic choice for the decision-maker, according to the level of return and risk.
