“…These are of great concern to governments which encourage companies to become CSR-oriented with incentives such as subsidies and tax reduction. For example, the issue of job creation and economic development of the community is addressed in the Iranian Fifth Development Plan [17]. Therefore, considering employment opportunities alongside economic development can be a great help in mitigating worldwide social sustainability concerns.…”

Due to the rise in awareness of environmental issues and the depletion of virgin resources, many firms have attempted to increase the sustainability of their activities. One efficient way to elevate sustainability is the consideration of corporate social responsibility (CSR) by designing a closed loop supply chain (CLSC). This paper has developed a mathematical model to increase corporate social responsibility in terms of job creation. Moreover the model, in addition to increasing total CLSC profit, provides a range of strategic decision solutions for decision makers to select a best action plan for a CLSC. A proposed multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model was solved with non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II). Fuzzy set theory was employed to select the best compromise solution from the Pareto-optimal solutions. A numerical example was used to validate the potential application of the proposed model. The results highlight the effect of CSR in the design of CLSC.

“…A novel multi-objective hybrid algorithm called MHPV that is the hybrid of MOPSO and Adapted Multi-Objective Variable Neighborhood Search (AMOVNS) was proposed for the problem. A closed-loop location routing inventory problem by sustainability consideration was modeled in an uncertain environment by Zhalechian et al (2016). The social impacts of created job opportunities and economic development were considered as a societal objective in their study.…”

“…This last case incorporated inventory decisions into the location-routing model. A study by Zhalechian et al [56] is another example where an inventory decision is also incorporated in the LRP model. In this study, the authors aimed at sustainable design of a closed-loop SCN by considering economic, environmental and social measures within an M-O LRP model.…”

Abstract:The possibilities of applying Operations Research (O.R.) techniques in the design of real-world systems are vast. The optimization and design of the supply chain network (SCN) is one of the relevant topics that has directed the attention of many scholars. Sound decisions in this regard, including the proper selection of the facility's location, transportation modes and routes and inventory management policies, can noticeably improve the systems performance. Over 380 articles published between 2005 and 2016 in the ISI/Web of Science database have applied advanced O.R. techniques in SCN optimization studies. This paper offers a systematic review of these published contributions by focusing on two categories of O.R. approaches most recently applied for the design of SC systems: integrated mathematical modeling and simulation-optimization (S-O) frameworks. A taxonomy analysis of the mentioned approaches is presented based on the supply chain elements. A bibliometric analysis is also conducted to provide technical insights into the possible gaps in the field. Moreover, the relevant studies on SC sustainability are highlighted. The research results are supportive of the S-O frameworks as either an alternative approach or an effective solution method for the integrated problems. The research outcomes can provide researchers in the field with useful details of the integrated problems and S-O frameworks as the most recent O.R. methodologies in the field of SC optimization.
