in recent years, following the rapid industrialization of communities is of great interest to environmental deficiencies and governments have started to enforce environmental laws. according to requirements of today's world, green supply chain management is inevitable. this study was aimed to identify and prioritize the factors affecting green supply chain in the automotive industry companies, ...

Conflicting objectives becomes a common issue in many supply chain network optimization problems. In this paper, a new model is formulated to design a green supply chain network through a new mixed integer linear programming problem. Uncertain demand and stochastic environmental respect levels are the main parameters of the formulation. The first objective function minimizes the cost of the sup...

it is necessary to consider the impact of demand uncertainty to model the comprehensive approach for supply chain network design. this paper presents four echelons, multiple commodity, and strategic–tactical model for designing supply chain network. uncertain demand, transportation mode selection with lead time configuration has been considered. a numerical example has been implemented to verif...

organizations in order to capture sustainability and competitive advantage need to pay attention to environmental issues throuoghout their supply chain. by decreasing costs, improving image and being protected against environmental laws it can lead to organizational competitive advantage. current research has been done investigating the relationship between green supply chain and capturing cope...

The eternal need for humans' blood as a critical commodity makes the healthcare systems attempt to provide efficient blood supply chains (BSCs) by which the requirements are satisfied at the maximum level. To have an efficient supply of blood, an appropriate planning for blood supply chain is a challenge which requires more attention. In this paper, we address a mixed integer linear programming...

supply chain network design decisions are among the strategic decisions of supply chain management which play significant role on the efficient performance of the supply chain. however, there are two challenging factors which may have great impact on the supply chain performance. these factors are on the one hand disruptions and their attendant damages and on the other hand uncertain nature of ...
