A comprehensive and integrated study of any supply chain (SC) environment is a vital requirement that can create various advantages for the SC owners. This consideration causes productive managing of the SC through its whole wide components from upstream suppliers to downstream retailers and customers.  On this issue, despite many valuable studies reported in the current literature, considerabl...

The location-routing problem (LRP), which integrates location and routing decisions, has been an attraction to both researchers and practitioners. LRP as an important business problem has its own inherent uncertainty; especially, considering phenomena such as traffic congestion and weather conditions and their impact on transportation costs, routing in LRP is subject to uncertainty. In this pap...

In this paper, we focus on monitoring environments with wireless sensor networks in which mobile sink nodes traverse sensing fields in a specific spatialtemporal manner and aggregate various types of environmental data with different deadline constraints distributed over sensor nodes. For such environments, we propose an energy-efficient data aggregation method that reduces intermediate transmi...

So far, many types of location models have been developed to find optimal spatial patterns according to different spatial metrics such as cost, coverage and availability.  The initial focus of these models is on the location availability of service providers and demand estimates, and some of these models are within the framework of multi-objective programming models.  After the advent of scienc...

Product recovery has become significant business strategies to increase a competitive edge in and also the society. Parts from discarded products due rapid advancement post-consumer before & after end-of-life (EOL) are recovered reduce landfill waste have part of circular economy. is made possible with help Closed-loop supply chain (CLSC). This paper concentrates on multi-period, multi-prod...

A traditional logistics decision model mainly studies the location of distribution centers, storage inventory management, vehicle scheduling, and transportation routes. The location-inventory-routing problem (LIRP) is an integrated optimization three problems—a comprehensive for whole system. This review paper uses PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analysis) method to li...
