“…Hence, we note here, that the solutions obtained by the proposed procedure cannot be claimed as a global optimal solution and the proposed procedure is only guaranteed to converge to local optimal solutions. Nevertheless, many scholars, including Ben-Daya and Hariga (2004), Glock (2012b), Jauhari et al (2016bJauhari et al ( , 2017, have used similar procedures to find the solutions in stochastic JELPs. It is obvious that the parameters T, P, and S are dependent of each other.…”
