A Bi-objective Robust Optimization Model for an Integrated Production-distribution Problem of Perishable Goods with Demand Improvement Strategies: A Case Study
Abstract:This paper develops a bi-objective optimization model for the integrated production-distribution planning of perishable goods under uncertainty. The first objective seeks to maximize the profit in a specific supply chain with three levels: plants, distribution centers, and in the last level, customers. Since transportation is one of the major pollution sources in a distribution problem, the second objective is to minimize their emission. In the considered problem, the decisions of production, location, invento… Show more
