Inventory management, vehicle routing, and delivery scheduling decisions are simultaneously considered in the context of the inventory routing problem. This paper focuses on the continuous-time version of this problem where, unlike its more…
Oil products are the main source of energy in the world today. Distribution of these products is one of the main issues in the industry. The main tools for this work are pipelines, and along with it, railways, shipping and roads are also…
Challenges in last-mile delivery have encouraged innovative solutions like crowdsourced delivery, where online platforms leverage the services of drivers who occasionally perform delivery tasks for compensation. A key challenge is that…
This paper addresses a production scheduling problem derived from an industrial use case, focusing on unrelated parallel machine scheduling with the personnel availability constraint. The proposed model optimizes the production plan over a…
How to ensure accessibility to food and nutrition while food supply chains suffer from demand and supply uncertainties caused by disruptive forces such as the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters is an emerging and critical issue.…
Supply chain network is critical to serving customers, so the most common practices are to determine the number, location, and capacity of facilities. But at the same time, uncertainties and risks must be taken into account in order to…
Compared to other transportation modes, road, railroad and vessel, multiproduct pipelines are the safest and most economical way of conveying petroleum products over long distances day and night. During the last two decades, the operational…
One of the arduous tasks in supply chain modelling is to build robust models against irregular variations. During the proliferation of time-series analyses and machine learning models, several modifications were proposed such as…
Due to a substantial growth in the world waterborne trade volumes and drastic changes in the global climate accounted for CO2 emissions, the shipping companies need to escalate their operational and energy efficiency. Therefore, a…
In this paper, we address a variant of the marketing mix optimization (MMO) problem which is commonly encountered in many industries, e.g., retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industries. This problem requires the spend for each…
Recent growing complexity in space missions has led to an active research field of space logistics and mission design. This research field leverages the key ideas and methods used to handle complex terrestrial logistics to tackle space…
Multi-product pipelines are a highly efficient means of transporting liquids. Traditionally used to transport petroleum, its products and derivatives, they are now being repurposed to transport liquified natural gas admixed with hydrogen of…
The significance of last-mile logistics in the healthcare supply chain is growing steadily, especially in pharmacies where the growing prevalence of medication delivery to patients' homes is remarkable. This paper proposes a novel…
The energy sector has become priority around the world with developing technology and increasing power and energy demand. That all sources for energy production are not renewable increases greenhouse gas emissions and causes global warming.…
This study addresses the multi-item multi-period order allocation problem under all-unit quantity discounts (AUQD) and blending ratios. A manufacturer makes a single product that requires mixing/assembling multiple ingredients/components…
This applied research article explores the application of Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) to address line-balancing challenges in the garment industry, focusing on optimizing production processes under multiple constraints. By…
We study the problem of determining how much finished goods inventory to source from different capacitated facilities in order to maximize profits resulting from sales of such inventory. We consider a problem wherein there is uncertainty in…
Supply and manufacturing networks in the chemical industry involve diverse processing steps across different locations, rendering their operation vulnerable to disruptions from unplanned events. Optimal responses should consider factors…
Increasingly volatile electricity prices make simultaneous scheduling optimization desirable for production processes and their energy systems. Simultaneous scheduling needs to account for both process dynamics and binary on/off-decisions…
Supply chain management has been concentrated on productive ways to manage flows through a sophisticated vendor, manufacturer, and consumer networks for decades. Recently, energy and material rates have been greatly consumed to improve the…
