Logistics Optimization Using Hybrid Meta- heuristic Approach under Very Realistic Conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, we have concerned with a hierarchical logistic network design problem from two aspects that have been scarcely considered previously though they are very common in real-world. That is, to cope with a multi-commodity problem and a problem with stair-wised discount cost of transportation effectively as well as practically, we have developed the extended hybrid tabu search method for each problem. Validity of the methods is verified through comparison with the commercial software for the multi-commodity problem while the algorithm is implemented as software amenable for supporting a daily logistic planning for the cost discount problem.

A hybrid solution approach for a multi-objective closed-loop logistics network under uncertainty
The design of closed-loop logistics (forward and reverse logistics) has attracted growing attention with the stringent pressures of customer expectations, environmental concerns and economic factors. This paper considers a multi-product, multi-period and multi-objective closed-loop logistics network model with regard to facility expansion as a facility location–allocation problem, which more cl...
متن کاملReliable Designing of Capacitated Logistics Network with Multi Configuration Structure under Disruptions: A Hybrid Heuristic Based Sample Average Approximation Algorithm
We consider the reliable multi configuration capacitated logistics network design problem (RMCLNDP) with system disruptions, concerned with facilities locating, transportation links constructing, and also allocating their limited capacities to the customers in order to satisfy their demands with a minimum expected total cost (including locating costs, link constructing costs, as well as expecte...
متن کاملA hybrid metaheuristic using fuzzy greedy search operator for combinatorial optimization with specific reference to the travelling salesman problem
We describe a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm for combinatorial optimization problems with a specific reference to the travelling salesman problem (TSP). The method is a combination of a genetic algorithm (GA) and greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP). A new adaptive fuzzy a greedy search operator is developed for this hybrid method. Computational experiments using a wide range of...
متن کاملA Hybrid Meta-heuristic for the Dynamic Layout Problem with Transportation System Design
This paper primarily presents a comprehensive dynamic layout design model which integrates layout and transportation system design via considering more realistic assumptions, such as taking account of fixed-position departments and distance between departments that endanger each other. In addition, specific criteria such as capacity, cost and reliability of facilities are considered in transpor...
متن کاملHybrid Meta-heuristic Algorithm for Task Assignment Problem
Task assignment problem (TAP) involves assigning a number of tasks to a number of processors in distributed computing systems and its objective is to minimize the sum of the total execution and communication costs, subject to all of the resource constraints. TAP is a combinatorial optimization problem and NP-complete. This paper proposes a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm for solving TAP in a ...
