As the experiment area of two-oriented society in China, Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration is required with high level of environment friendliness and resource saving on its transportation system. The transportation of this area has entered into the harmonized development stage of various transport modes and improved capacity and quality. But the green degree of its transportation s...

During the last three decades, the integrated optimization approach to logistics systems has become one of the most important aspects of the supply chain optimization. This approach simultaneously considers the interdependence of the location of the facilities, suppliers/customers allocation to the facilities, the structure of transportation routes, and inventory planning and control. Location-...

Green transportation is a concept developed by utilizing vehicles that are environmentally friendly, low in emissions and do not produce pollution has negative impact on the environment. This study aims to analyze scientific publications green as main construct relevance sustainable be directed into novelty followed up future developments. Meta analysis was optimizing use of literature transpor...

We want to find a location of capacitated transshipment facilities which minimizes the expected total cost when the generalized transportation costs are random variables. Each generalized transportation cost is given by the sum of a deterministic transportation cost and a random transshipment facility throughput cost, whose probability distribution is unknown. A two-stage stochastic program wit...

Strategic decisions in a supply chain are the most important decisions for petroleum production systems. These decisions, due to high costs of transportation and storing, are costly and affected by the tactical and operational decisions in uncertain situations. In this article, we focus on designing a downstream segment for a supply chain of petroleum production systems. For this purpose, we wi...

Facility-location problems have several applications in telecommunications, industrial transportation and distribution, etc. One of the most well-known facility-location problems is the p-median problem. This work addresses an application of the capacitated p-median problem to a real-world problem. We propose a genetic algorithm (GA) to solve the capacitated pmedian problem. The proposed GA use...

In contrast to the classical location-allocation models, the location-routing problem (LRP) integrates vehicle routing and scheduling aspects in the location planning process. A survey and classification scheme of location-routing is e.g. proposed by [3] and [2]. This paper presents a LRP of a company which distributes finished cars. This LRP is decomposed into two steps. In the first step a se...
