In this paper, we have formulated a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for the distribution design of Agricultural products in Bangladesh. The scheme of distribution is very important for the supply chain network (SCN), which is choosing the suitable distribution center (DC) for the distribution of the products. This study is a real life distribution problem. To developed this model, we have collected data from various market players who are directly or indirectly involved in Agriculture sector. We have to solve this model, by using a mathematical programming language (AMPL). We have verified a multi-stage SCN, which includes producer, DC and customer. Also this model is to optimize profit, allocations of the products and most useable DC which satisfied most of the customer demands. Finally, we can analyze the profit for the uncertainty parameters.

In real-life situations, decisions must be made even when limited or uncertain information is available. Therefore, the payoff of an action is not clearly known when the decision is made. Recently, game theory has become a powerful tool for analyzing the interactions between decision makers in many domains. However, the traditional game theory approach assumes that a player belief about the payoff of a strategy taken is accurate. To address this problem, we introduce a new kind of game, called an inference game, and study how degrees of uncertainty of belief about payoffs impact the outcomes of real-world games. To approximate an optimal decision, our proposed inference game model can clarify how to better manage ambiguous information. In this study, we apply our inference game model to the sensor communication paradigm and confirm that our approach achieves better performance than other existing sensor communication schemes in widely diverse Internet of Things (IoT) environments.
