Optimization of fresh–food supply chains in uncertain environments: an application to the meat-refrigeration process
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a novel approach for the optimization of fresh-food supply chain by managing a trade-off between logistics and some index measuring the quality of the food itself. We propose an hybrid model of the chain, with a part constituted by a event–driven dynamics (the supply chain itself) and a part with time–driven dynamics (the dynamics of some parameters characterizing the jobs in the supply chain). The proposed framework is applied to a real–world example relative to the process of beef–carcasses refrigeration and distribution.

nt matter & 2007 IAgrE. emseng.2007.11.011 hor. : fabrizio.dabbene@polito The design of the supply chain, and in particular of the distribution phase, for fresh-food products, such as fresh and fresh-cut produce, fruit or meat, cannot be achieved without considering the perishable nature and the variability of the products entering the chain. Motivated by these considerations, this paper presen...
متن کاملCentralized Supply Chain Network Ddesign: Monopoly, Duopoly, and Ooligopoly Competitions under Uncertainty
This paper presents a competitive supply chain network design problem in which one, two, or three supply chains are planning to enter the price-dependent markets simultaneously in uncertain environments and decide to set the prices and shape their networks. The chains produce competitive products either identical or highly substitutable. Fuzzy multi-level mixed integer programming is used to mo...
متن کاملThe Design of Inverse Network DEA Model for Measuring the Bullwhip Effect in Supply Chains with Uncertain Demands
Two different bullwhip effects with equal scores may have different sensitivities and production patterns. As a result, the difference between these two seemingly equal scores has been ignored in previous methods (such as frequency response and moving average). So, the present study constructs a model of Inverse Network Data Envelopment Analysis, to introduce the relative and interval scores of...
متن کاملA Robust Modeling Of Inventory Routing In Collaborative Reverse Supply Chains
This paper proposes a robust model for optimizing collaborative reverse supply chains. The primary idea is to develop a collaborative framework that can achieve the best solutions in the uncertain environment. Firstly, we model the exact problem in the form of a mixed integer nonlinear programming. To regard uncertainty, the robust optimization is employed that searches for an optimum answer wi...
متن کاملA multi objective mixed integer programming model for design of a sustainable meat supply chain network
In the recent decades, rapid population growth has led to the significant increase in food demand. Food supply chain has always been one of the most important and challenging management issues. Product with short age, especially foodstuffs, is the most problematic challenges for supply chain management. These challenges are mainly due to the diversity in the number of these goods, the special n...
