In this paper, we study an integrated logistic system where the optimal location of depots and vehicles routing are considered simultaneously. This paper presents a new mathematical model for a multi-objective capacitated location-routing problem with a new set of objectives consisting of the summation of economic costs, summation of social risks and demand satisfaction score. A new multi-objec...

This paper examines a multi-period capacity expansion problem for rapid transit network design. The capacity expansion is realized through the location of train alignments and stations in an urban traffic context by selecting the time periods. The model maximizes the public transportation demand using a limited budget and designing lines for each period. The location problem incorporates the us...

Abstract Consumer demand and retailing models nowadays are being upgraded more frequently. More retailers switching to the Omni-channel model. Choosing a reasonable location for front distribution center (FDC) helps control an enterprise's cost improves its service level. This is especially true in existence of fierce competition. In this paper, two important contradictory objectives proposed f...

Optimization of facility location problem is one of the prominent areas of research since last few decades. The vertex k-center problem represents a common occurring problem with in public and private sectors. Consistent efforts are going towards optimal solution of this NP-hard nature problem. The aim of this paper is to highlight the different aspects of algorithmic approach made in this area...

Reverse logistics planning plays a crucial role in supply chain management. Stochasticity different parameters along with time horizon can be challenge solving reverse problems. This paper proposes multi-stage, multi-period lot sizing decisions under uncertainties. The main uncertain factors are return and demand quantities, quality. Moment matching method was adopted to generate discrete set o...
