Capacitated Multimodal Structure of a Green Supply Chain Network Considering Multiple Objectives

Authors

Abstract:

In this paper, a supply chain network design problem is explained which contains environmental concerns in arcs and nodes of network. It is assumed that there are some routes such as road, rail and etc. in each pair of nodes. In this model decision variables are choosing facilities to open, environmental investment level in each facility and flow of products between nodes in each route. A multi-objective optimization model is proposed in this paper to capture the trade-off between the total cost and the environment influence. Some simulated numerical examples are considered to evaluate the model and the solution approach. The comparisons verify the suitability of the model and solution approach.

A hybrid GA-TLBO algorithm for optimizing a capacitated three-stage supply chain network

A teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm is a new population-based algorithm applied in some applications in the literature successfully. Moreover, a genetic algorithm (GA) is a popular tool employed widely in many disciplines of engineering. In this paper, a hybrid GA-TLBO algorithm is proposed for the capacitated three-stage supply chain network design (SCND) problem. The SCND ...

Considering chain to chain competition in forward and reverse logistics of a dynamic and integrated supply chain network design problem

In this paper, a bi-objective model is presented for dynamic and integrated network design of a new entrant competitive closed-loop supply chain. To consider dynamism and integration in the network design problem, multiple long-term periods are regarded during planning horizon, so that each long-term period includes several short-term periods. Furthermore, a chain to chain competition between t...
