Newly, the rates of energy and material consumption to augment industrial production are substantially high, thus environmentally sustainable development has emerged as main issue either developed or developing countries. A novel approach supply chain management is proposed maintain economic growth along with friendly concerns for design network. In this paper, a new green been suggested financ...

As the automotive industry has been striving to enhance its efficiency, competitiveness, and sustainability, great focus is often placed on opportunities for improving its supply chain operations. We study the effect of introducing multiple modes of transportation in an industry-motivated production and transportation problem involving short-term automotive supply chain planning. We consider mu...

Sourcing resilience has become a primary concern in most closed-loop supply chains (CLSC). Companies face the option of sourcing their raw materials from suppliers or recycling centers though latter can be disrupted sometimes. In this study, multi-stage, stochastic programming (MSSP) model is developed to analyze how company proactively employ strategies along with pricing policies enhance CLSC...

This paper aims to design a mathematical model for sustainable closed-loop supply chains during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The proposed multi-objective minimizes total cost, carbon emission, and infection risk of network also maximizes social benefits. Some practical conditions such as stochastic demands, supplier selection, facility disruptions are considered in model. is transformed...

Fuzzy Model Reference Learning Control (FMRLC) is an efficient technique for the control of non linear process. In this paper, a FMRLC is applied in to a non linear spherical tank system. First, the mathematical model of the spherical tank level system is derived and simulation runs are carried out by considering the FMRLC in a closed loop. A similar test runs are also carried out with Neural N...

Supply chain network design (SCND) problem has recently been gaining attention because an integrated management of the supply chain (SC) can reduce the unexpected/undesirable events and can affect definitely the efficiency of all the chain. A critical component of the planning activities of a manufacturing firm is the efficient design of its SC. Hence, SCND affords a sensitive platform for effi...

In recent decades, due to market growth and use of synthetic fiber, the fashion industry faces a rapid increase of CO2 emission throughout the production cycle and raises environmental issues in recovery processing. This study proposes a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) structure in fashion industry and develops its planning model as multi-objective mixed integer linear programming to find an op...

Reverse supply chain is a process dealing with the backward flows of used/damaged products or materials. Reverse supply chain includes activities such as collection, inspection, reprocess, disposal and redistribution. A well-organized reverse supply chain can provide important advantages such as economic and environmental ones. In this study, we propose a general framework and formulate a m...
