“…VRPFTW has uncertain service time to customer points. Qamsari et al [18] propose a novel approach to the inventory routing problem for fuzzy time windows considering customer satisfaction and present a multi-priority structure for vehicles to visit customers. Li [19] considers the characteristics of fresh food delivery to develop a multi-objective vehicle routing optimization model with fuzzy time window for fresh food delivery, and designs an improved ACA based on rolling time-domain delay distribution to solve the problem according to the idea of the single-order distribution to get the optimal combination of the distribution cost and the customer satisfaction.…”

With the rise of the social logistics industry, the vehicle routing problem has always been a hot topic for scholars to study. This paper focuses on the recent research advances in the last 5 years of the vehicle routing problem, which contains the basic vehicle routing problem (VRP), vehicle routing problem with capacity constraints (CVRP), vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), split delivery vehicle routing problem (SDVRP), dynamic vehicle routing problem (DVRP), other types of VRPs, and so on. By subdividing the above according to VRP characteristics and describing its solution method. Finally, future research trends and development trends of VRP are summarized.

“…This interval value can be a tolerance value in the penalty time window, if a delay in delivery occurs. More specifically, the level of customer satisfaction is directly related to the degree of fuzzy membership of each, when the customer is visited by one of the vehicles from the warehouse (Qamsari et al, 2022). In this diagram the parameters e and l are the limits of the crisp time windows (0 or 1) that provide the highest utility for the customer.…”

The distribution of goods becomes a very calculated thing in the economic aspect, especially in the case of wide and complex distribution. The greater the range of distribution of goods, the more precise, fast, and accurate calculations are needed. Specifically, the calculation of the distribution required starts from mileage, total travel time, customer satisfaction level based on customer time windows, and operational costs. Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is a solution to the problem of distributing goods from the depot to its customers. This study aims to determine the optimal route. The methods used for VRP optimization are the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Tabu Search (TS) methods. Fuzzy logic is used to provide leeway on the limitations of the time windows parameters, thus providing a time tolerance in the event of early arrival of the vehicle or delay in delivery. Data processing using the GA-TS combination was carried out as many as two types of trials, namely trials with the same dataset ten times and trials with various types of datasets ten times. The results of the first trial fitness value on E-VRPFTW average increased by 14.39% compared to the results of the E-VRPTW fitness value that did not use fuzzy. The results of the second trial also experienced an average increase of 8.49% compared to the results of the E-VRPTW fitness value that did not use fuzzy. Therefore, the addition of fuzzy logic has an effect in determining the optimum route of E-VRPTW.

“…There are 36 articles that benefitted from different meta-heuristic methods. Most of these studies use several meta-heuristics [127,151,[160][161][162]. The most encountered metaheuristics for BSC are genetic algorithm, simulation annealing, particle swarm optimization, and tabu search algorithm, with nine, six, five, and four implementations, respectively.…”

The blood supply chain is an inseparable part of health systems. The importance of blood and the difficulties of managing the blood supply chain have led to numerous publications on this topic over the last two decades. This study seeks to reveal the state of the art of the blood supply chain and provide research gaps and future research directions. For this purpose, a mixed review methodology is conducted that includes bibliometric analysis, network analysis, and a six-dimension taxonomy. Bibliometric analysis identifies the most contributing journals, authors, and countries as well as provides popular keywords, while network analysis reveals interactions between these components. Taxonomy clarifies decision models and research gaps with a deeper examination. The electronic database Web of Science is examined to uncover relevant articles. In total, 265 articles are analyzed in detail. The findings reveal that the blood supply chain gathers more interest from researchers, and despite the continuing dominance of the inventory stage, there is an upward trend in the literature for the research of the blood supply chain as a whole. Optimization techniques come forward in the blood supply chain topic as solution methodology. In accordance with the results of bibliometric analysis, network analysis, and taxonomy, six prospective directions for future research are emphasized.
