The contradiction between limited resources and endless demand has a significant impact on social development. Therefore, resource allocation can make the best use of limited resources in economic activities. Taking the two-stage supply chain where the outputs from the upstream supplier are taken as the inputs for the downstream manufacturer as an example, this paper applies cross-efficiency model to comprehensively evaluate the efficiency scores of supply chains in the process of resource allocation, and explores the relationship between the cross-efficiency of supply chain and that of two enterprises within this supply chain. Furthermore, the self-interest of enterprises is taken as Pareto improvement principle to propose a Pareto-optimal two-stage cross-efficiency model that can be used for allocating optimally the limited resources among two-stage supply chains. And a set of common weights is determined to make all supply chains DEA efficient. Finally, the proposed model is shown to be feasible and effective through a practical application about 27 Iranian resin production companies.

Indonesian agricultural production is unpredictable. The harvest quality causes this is not-optimal harvest quality. The researchers provide a solution by utilizing a severe game design model as a learning medium to make decisions for optimizing production. In comparison, Blockchain technology is for data security, Distributed ledgers and Smart Contracts. The transaction between producers and consumers are permanent and verified. For the literature study of optimization to maximize farmers' production, the researchers use Simplex Method as an objective function and the Pareto function as an optimization model for multiple problems by finding solutions for all purposes to improve farmers' production. Multi-Objective Optimization, Linear Programming, Blockchain, and Hierarchical State Finite Machine are needed to design a serious game. This study designed Hierarchical State Finite Machine Serious Game using Blockchain and Multi-Objective Optimization method as a learning medium to simulate farmers making decisions In producing agricultural quantities based on consumer demand, stock, price, season, and planting time. Blockchain is used to track the availability of farm stocks so that the supply of consumer needs is met.
Summary
The continuous increase of the distributed energy resources (DERs) penetration levels leads to voltage stability problems in the distribution system. One of the approaches for the mentioned emerging challenge is the proper placement of automatic voltage regulators (AVRs). This paper investigates the optimal placement and sizing of AVRs in a distribution network by presenting a new modification of the teaching‐learning‐based optimization (TLBO) algorithm. The objective functions consist of minimizing the distribution system voltage deviation, energy generation cost, and electrical losses. The modification improves the convergence velocity and accuracy of the TLBO algorithm using the combination of mutation technique and quasi‐opposition‐based‐learning concept. This paper compares the performance of the proposed algorithm with other famous evolutionary algorithms. The test distribution system contains installed DERs that work more efficiently after the placement of AVRs based on the mentioned objective functions by the proposed optimization algorithm. The simulation results display the best optimization algorithms for AVRs placement with a significant level of less than 0.10 (ie, probability‐value). The proposed multiobjective optimization algorithm's considerable merit is the accuracy and convergence velocity in solving this specific optimization problem.
