Shrimp closed-loop supply chain network design

Abstract Recent developments in food industries have attracted both academic and industrial practitioners. Shrimp as a well-known, rich, sought-after seafood, is generally obtained from either marine environments or aquaculture. Central prominence of Supply Chain (SSC) brought about by numerous factors such high demand, market price, diverse fisheries aquaculture locations. In this respect, paper considers SSC set distribution centers, wholesalers, shrimp processing factories, markets, waste powder factory, market. Subsequently, mathematical model proposed for the SSC, whose aim to minimize total cost through supply chain. The NP- hard not able solve large-size problems. Therefore, three well-known metaheuristics accompanied two hybrid ones are exerted. Moreover, real-world application with 15 test problems established validate model. Finally, results confirm that solution methods effective useful achieve savings.
