In this paper, we develop a mixed-integer programming model for integrated partner selection and scheduling in an Internet-enabled dynamic manufacturing network environment. We assume that all stakeholders in the supply chain (SC) share information on their capacities, schedules, and cost structures. Based on this information, the model addresses the issue of partner selection and SC synchroniz...

In this paper, developed a new multi-product, multi-period, and multi-level closed-loop green supply chain planning model under uncertain conditions. The formulated model consists of five objective functions, which minimize the cost of the supply chain, minimize the CO2 emission of transportation vehicles, maximize the reliability of manufacturing and distribution centers, maximize t...

Today, in the existing competitive market, proper management of the supply chain has attracted a lot of attention to increasing profitability and customer satisfaction. Managers and decision-makers may use policies to survive in this situation, but a desirable outcome will only come when a precise and comprehensive model is used. Therefore, a detailed design and systematic planning of the suppl...

Airline crew scheduling is a very important part of the operational planning commercial airlines, but it linear integer programming problem with multi-constraints. Traditionally, airline determined by solving pairing (CPP) and rostering (CRP), sequentially. In this paper, we propose new heuristic solver based on parallel genetic algorithm an innovative algorithm, which improves traditional inte...

Nowadays, working alone on a context is not sufficient and reaching good and worthy results demands cooperation of multi sciences. Healthcare supply chain is one of these sciences that bridges engineering and healthcare sciences. This paper proposes a new multi–objective model for organ transplant supply chain, which is one of consequential fields in Healthcare supply chain, by aiming at having...

The design of closed-loop supply chain networks has attracted increasing attention in recent decades with environmental concerns and commercial factors. Due to the rapid growth of knowledge and technology, the complexity of the supply chain operations is increasing daily and organizations are faced with numerous challenges and risks in their management. Most organizations with limited resources...

Modeling and optimal solving of supply chain management problems lead to efficient decision making in strategic planning and supply chain operations, resulting in a competitive advantage. Today, with the planning of a sustainable supply chain, in addition to achieving economic goals, it is possible to meet social and environmental objectives and considerations. This research deal with sustainab...

The concept of a supply chain exists for over twenty years but partners and configuration selection process still is rather unstructured. In order to increase value in any supply chain, a more comprehensive and integrative approach is required to select the right partners and establish the right configuration along the chain. Under economic growth wrong decisions does not jeopardize profitabili...
