Multi-Objective Optimization for Healthcare Waste Management Network Design with Sustainability Perspective

Healthcare Waste Management (HWM) is considered as one of the important urban decision-making problems due to its potential environmental, economic, and social risks damages. The network HWM system involves decisions such facility locating, inventory management, transportation management. Moreover, with growing concerns towards sustainable development objectives, systems should address environmental aspects well economic technical characteristics. In this regard, paper formulates a novel multi-objective optimization model empower companies in making optimized considering aspects. Within proposed model, first objective function aims minimize costs, processing establishment costs. second emissions related waste between facilities. third maximize job creation opportunities. Formulating these three functions, an Improved Multi-Choice Goal Programing (IMCGP) approach solve which then compared Attainment Method (GAM). Finally, show applicability feasibility illustrative example healthcare management analyzed, results are discussed.
