    Abstract
    Both frequency and intensity of natural disasters have intensified in recent years. It is, therefore, essential to design effective strategies to minimize their catastrophic consequences. Optimizing recovery tasks, including distribution system reconfiguration (DSR) and repair sequence optimization (RSO), are the key to enhance the agility of disaster recovery. This article aims to develop a resilience-oriented DSR and RSO optimization model and a mechanism to quantify the recovery agility. In doing so, a new metric is developed to quantify the recovery agility and to identify the optimal resilience enhancement strategies. The metric is defined as 'the number of recovered customers divided...

    Abstract
    In the current status of the world production business, any action that can improve quality or decrease the price of products is very important to manufactures. Therefore, many studies had been conducted to do this. In production stages, the assembly stage includes 30% of production cost and up to 40% of production time. Therefore, optimization and design of the Production sequence of this stage are very important. This matter is more important in complicated and multi-segmental productions such as car manufacturing, the Aviation industry, and the shipbuilding industry. Also, optimization of the Production sequence could improve product quality. In this study, an algorithm has been purposed...
