In this paper, a bi-objective model is presented for dynamic and integrated network design of a new entrant competitive closed-loop supply chain. To consider dynamism and integration in the network design problem, multiple long-term periods are regarded during planning horizon, so that each long-term period includes several short-term periods. Furthermore, a chain to chain competition between t...

Dynamic Multi-Objective Optimization Problems (DMOPs) and Many-Objective (MaOPs) are two classes of the optimization field that have potential applications in engineering. Modified Evolutionary Algorithms hybrid approaches seem to be suitable effectively deal with such problems. However, standard Crow Search Algorithm has not been considered for either DMOPs or MaOPs date. This paper proposes a...

this paper presents a new mathematical model for a bi-objective job shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times that minimizes the weighted mean completion time and the weighted mean tardiness time. for solving this multi-objective model, we develop a fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (fmolp) model. in this problem, a proposed fmolp method is applied with respect to the o...

Local Container Drayage Problem (LCDP) refers to the optimization of process planning and scheduling container trucks between a terminal customers offer door-to-door service in local area. The time required for (un)packing containers at customers’ sites are often relatively long uncertain due current work level unexpected deviations operational situations, which has significant influence on tra...

Distributed energy resources (DERs) including distributed generators (DGs) and controllable loads (CLs) are managed in the form of several microgrids (MGs) in active distributions networks (ADNs) to meet the demand locally. On the other hand, some loads of distribution networks (DNs) can be supplied by retailers which participate in wholesale energy markets. Therefore, there are several decisio...
