Integrated production-distribution planning (PDP) is one of the most important approaches in supply chain networks. We consider a supply chain network (SCN) to consist of multi suppliers, plants, distribution centers (DCs), and retailers. A bi-objective mixed integer linear programming model for integrating production-distribution designed here aim to simultaneously minimize total net costs in ...

Focusing on production processes is the decisive factor in managing an efficient supply chain that leads to company's success. The objective constraints model include all goals company seeks achieve and level for each. In addition clarifying contribution of each decision variable achieving specified levels different goals, conclusions reached are results prove possibility solving a problem. App...

In this paper, a preemptive multi-objective multi-mode project scheduling model for resource investment problem is proposed. The first objective function is to minimize the completion time of project (makespan);the second objective function is to minimize the cost of using renewable resources. Non-renewable resources are also considered as parameters in this model. The preemption of activities ...

This paper proposes a multi-objective Slime Mould Algorithm (MOSMA), variant of the recently-developed (SMA) for handling optimization problems in industries. Recently, problems, several meta-heuristic and evolutionary techniques have been suggested community. These methods tend to suffer from low-quality solutions when evaluating (MOO) than addressing objective functions identifying Pareto opt...
