Coal triggering pollution caused by the emission of harmful substances in process coal combustion has been paid more and attention. Barium is a ubiquitous heavy metal element coal. During combustion, Ba released into environment different forms, coal-fired products with high content can cause harm to environment, human health even pose serious threat life. By reviewing literature, distribution,...

In the petroleum supply chain, oil refined products are often delivered to distribution centers by pipelines since they provide the most reliable and economical mode of transportation over large distances. This paper addresses the optimal scheduling of a complex pipeline network with multiple branching lines. The main challenge is to find the optimal sequence and time of product injections/deli...

In this paper, a multi-objective multi-period multi-product supply chain network design problem is introduced. This problem is modeled using a multi-objective mixed integer mathematical programming. The objectives are maximizing the total profit of logistics, maximizing service level, and minimizing inconsistency of operations. Several sets of constraints are considered to handle the real situa...

Ensuring the delivery and availability of health products, including temperature-sensitive vaccines, is vital to saving lives in low- middle-income countries (LMICs). In many LMICs routes are hand drawn by logisticians adjusted based on vehicle product quantities. Easy-to-use real-time supply chain tools needed create or adjust for available vehicles road conditions. Having more efficien...
