Optimal Supply Chain Redesign using Genetic Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Supply chain redesign involves decisions regarding the timing, amount and location attributes of the investment and disinvestment in facilities, production, purchase of raw materials, sale of products, loans and bonds for raising capital, signing of contracts for material purchase and sales, such that the profit is maximized. In this work, we use genetic algorithm to obtain the supply chain redesign plan while maximizing the profit. Genetic algorithms (GA) are best suited for unconstrained problems and we present a novel formulation of the supply chain redesign problem in an unconstrained fashion. To demonstrate this new and unconstrained formulation, we solve the problem which we previously presented (Naraharisetti et al., 2006), where we developed a novel MILP model for supply chain redesign and solved it using Cplex.

Global Supply Chain Management under Carbon Emission Trading Program Using Mixed Integer Programming and Genetic Algorithm
In this paper, the transportation problem under the carbon emission trading program ismodelled by mathematical programming and genetic algorithm. Since green supply chain issuesbecome important and new legislations are taken into account, carbon emissions costs are included inthe total costs of the supply chain. The optimisation model has the ability to minimise the total costsand provides the ...

In this study a supply chain network design model has been developed considering both forward and reverse flows through the supply chain. Total Cost, environmental factors such as CO2 emission, and social factors such as employment and fairness in providing job opportunities are considered in three separate objective functions. The model seeks to optimize the facility location proble...

In this paper, a bi-level game-theoretic model is proposed to investigate the effects of governmental financial intervention on green supply chain. This problem is formulated as a bi-level program for a green supply chain that produces various products with different environmental pollution levels. The problem is also regard uncertainties in market demand and sale price of raw materials and pro...
