We work with a multi-period system where a finite number of agents need to share multiple monetary risks.
Considering a multi-period system and planning of the prices of the product as a dynamic pricing may be a scope for future research.
The weight (w^{l}) represents contribution of the observed cost of period l (that is the total cost of exogenous inputs consumed by all processes of subsystem l) to the observed cost of all periods (total cost of the multi-period system).
Accordingly, Hammami et al. (2014) suggested a stochastic model for supplier selection aiming at optimization of multi-period system's total cost with diverse buyers and quantity discount.

This comprehensive model includes dynamic system reconfiguration, multi period production planning, operation sequence, alternative process plans for part types, machine and worker flexibility, duplicate machines, machine capacity, available time of workers and worker assignment.
"Relationship between the global cost efficiencies of multi-period network system and its subsystems" and "Relationship between the multi-period global cost efficiencies of network system and its processes" sections compute the global cost efficiencies of the subsystems and processes and represent the relationships between these efficiencies and the efficiency of network system.
A physical aquifer experiment is utilized to develop a severely challenging multi-period observation system simulation experiment (OSSE) that reflects the challenges and decisions faced in monitoring contaminated groundwater systems.
Kia et al. (2011) presented a mathematical model for a multi-period CM system layout with fuzzy parameters.
In fact, the operation of each process or each subsystem takes into account in measuring the global cost efficiency of the multi-period network system.
In fact, (CE_{o}^{prime }) is defined as the ratio of the aggregate minimum cost of (T) subsystems to the observed aggregate cost for multi-period network system.
