In this paper, a stochastic mixed integer linear programming (SMILP) model is proposed to optimize the location and size of facilities and service centres in integrated forward and reverse streams under uncertainty. The objective of the model is to minimize establishment, transportation and inventory management costs and simultaneously maximize customer satisfaction with sustainable perspective...

The optimization of production logistics system is an important way to improve enterprise’s productivity, cut down cost and improve equipment’s utilization. Production logistics system is highly randomized, complicated and discrete system, which can hardly be modeled and analyzed in the traditional way, so computer simulation technology and eM-Plant simulation platform were introduced in the pa...

Increased downscaling of CMOS circuits with respect to feature size and threshold voltage has a result of dramatically increasing in leakage current. So, leakage power reduction is an important design issue for active and standby modes as long as the technology scaling increased. In this paper, a simultaneous active and standby energy optimization methodology is proposed for 22 nm sub-threshold...

School of science, Shenyang University of Technology, Shenyang 110870, China E-mail: [email protected] We mainly studied order allocation of logistics service supply chain under the background of big data. According to the characteristic of prediction of big data, designed the two-phase solution of “prediction of big data stage” and “model optimization stage” in logistics service supply chain . ...

In this article, a multi-objective planning is demonstrated for reactive power compensation in radial distribution networks with wind generation via unified power quality conditioner (UPQC). UPQC model, based on phase angle control (PAC), is used. In presented method, optimal locating of UPQC-PAC is done by simultaneous minimizing of objective functions such as: grid power loss, percentage of n...

The urge to remanufacture and address environmental concerns in various industrial processes has drawn the attention of academics as well practitioners towards Closed-loop Supply Chain Networks (CLSC). Although everchanging complex external factors including social economic ones, adversely impact sustainable development closed-loop supply chain networks. basic aim research is optimize functioni...

  Managing products’ end-of-life and recovery of used products is gaining significant importance during last years. Therefore, managing the reverse flow of products can be an important potential for winning consumers in future competitive markets. In this context, establishing reverse logistics networks is becoming a main problem in reverse supply chains. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is utilized to s...

Cross docking is a logistics strategy that strives to reduce inventory holding costs, shipping costs, and delays in delivering the products. In this research, an optimization model is presented for split loading and unloading products by suppliers and customers, vehicle routing with fuzzy possibilistic time window constraints among them, assignment of vehicles to cross dock, consolidation and i...
