An Optimization Approach for a Fresh Food Supply Chain: An Application for the Orange Supply Chain Design in Turkey

The optimization of supply chain problems in various industry areas is crucial terms controlling the quality products and costs during processes. Protecting product food processes while minimizing cost a difficult critical problem industry. In this study, an application model that integrates decision-making on distribution production implemented using real-life data Turkey. degradation storage or transportation usually based temperature, time, other constants such as activation energy. Therefore, prediction for complex task because dynamics conditions characteristics. A methodological approach proposed to study. rate evaluated by approach. mixed-integer programming developed planning. To solve problem, GAMS (General Algebraic Modeling System) CPLEX solver used tool. results case study shows suggested implementable with acceptable solution time. addition, adaptable different types chains. This aims develop can be guide decision-makers.
