3 - Presenting a Mathematical Programming Model for Routing and Scheduling of Cross-Dock and Transportation in Green Reverse Logistics Network of COVID-19 Vaccines
Pezhman Abbasi Tavallali محمدرضا فیلی زاده Atefeh Amindoustشماره 2 , دوره 13 , بهار 2021Cross-docking is the practice of unloading Coronavirus vaccines from inbound delivery vehicles and loading them directly onto outbound vehicles. Cross-docking can streamline supply chains and help them move Coronavirus vaccines to pharmacies faster and more efficiently چکیده کاملCross-docking is the practice of unloading Coronavirus vaccines from inbound delivery vehicles and loading them directly onto outbound vehicles. Cross-docking can streamline supply chains and help them move Coronavirus vaccines to pharmacies faster and more efficiently by eliminating or minimizing warehouse storage costs, space requirements, and inventory handling. Regarding their short shelf-life, the movement of Coronavirus vaccine to cross-dock and their freight scheduling is of great importance. Achieving the goals of green logistics in order to reduce fuel consumption and emission of pollutants has been considered in this study. Accordingly, the present study developed a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for routing and scheduling of cross-dock and transportation in green reverse logistics network of Coronavirus vaccines. The model was multi-product and multi-level and focused on minimizing the logistics network costs to increase efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and pollution, maximizing the consumption value of delivered Coronavirus vaccines and minimizing risk of injection complication due to Coronavirus vaccines corruption. Considering cost minimization (i.e., earliness and tardiness penalty costs of pharmacies order delivery, cost of fuel consumption and environmental pollution caused by outbound vehicles crossover, the inventory holding costs at the temporary storage area of the cross-dock and costs of crossover and use of outbound vehicles) as well as uncertainty in pharmacies demand for Coronavirus vaccines, the model was an NP-hard problem. In this model, the problem-solving time increased exponentially according to the problem dimensions; hence, this study proposed an efficient method using the NSGA II algorithm. پرونده مقاله -

Davoud Haghighi رضا بابازادهشماره 2 , دوره 12 , بهار 2020Railway freight stations roles as points in which traffic processes can be merged and diverged are of paramount importance. Numerous activities such as train formation, alighting and interchanging, technical checks are also done at these points. Due to the great importa چکیده کاملRailway freight stations roles as points in which traffic processes can be merged and diverged are of paramount importance. Numerous activities such as train formation, alighting and interchanging, technical checks are also done at these points. Due to the great importance of using railway infrastructures and rolling stocks facilities efficiently, the efficiency studies in this area are considered as a demanding task more than ever. Therefore, we implement a methodology based on data envelopment analysis to address this issue. The suggested methodology in this research can be used for measuring the efficiency of railway freight stations and ranking them by using DEA and Anderson & Peterson methods. This methodology can be used for analyzing the relative ‘technical efficiency’ of railway freight stations to manage train stops regarding the current station capacity. We applied this model in a case study of the 12 busiest train stations in Isfahan railway to measure and rank their efficiency and assess the effect of traffic type on the results by using robust regression. پرونده مقاله -

غلامرضا عزیزیان فرید میارنعیمی محسن راشکی ناصر شابختیشماره 2 , دوره 11 , بهار 2019This paper provides a novel meta-heuristic optimization algorithm. The behaviors of flying squirrels in the nature are the main inspiration of this research. These behaviors include flying from tree to tree and walking on the ground or on a tree branch to find food. The چکیده کاملThis paper provides a novel meta-heuristic optimization algorithm. The behaviors of flying squirrels in the nature are the main inspiration of this research. These behaviors include flying from tree to tree and walking on the ground or on a tree branch to find food. They also contact each other with chirp or squeak. This algorithm is named flying squirrel optimizer (FSO). Two main theories of motion were used for the simulation of flying and walking of the flying squirrels and they are Lévy flight and normal random walk. FSO is also benchmarked on twelve mathematical functions and the answers are compared with MFO, PSO, GSA, BA, FPA, SMS, and FA. The results show that FSO can provide good results when compared with these well-known meta-heuristics approaches. Five classical engineering problems and a real issue in the field of dam engineering were employed to challenge the FSO abilities in solving engineering design problems. The results also show that the proposed FSO algorithm can be used on a wide range of problems with unknown search spaces. پرونده مقاله -

(2021) on uncertainty robust optimization. Considering the importance of incorporating uncertainty into performance evaluation models in the real world and its increasing application in various problems, we propose a robust optimization approach. Given the discrete and non-convex nature of the introduced models for selecting the most efficient decision-making unit, examining the dual and finding an optimistic scenario is practically impossible. Therefore, by utilizing the linear model presented by Akhlaghi et al. (2021) with constraints for identifying the most efficient unit, we can investigate the robustness of the desired model using(BS )Bertsimas and Sim's (2004) robust estimation method while also considering uncertainty. We aim to demonstrate that employing a robust formulation leads to reliable performance in uncertain conditions پرونده مقاله -

Many real world problems interacting with changing environments can be modeled by dynamic graphs. Graph vertex coloring with a given number of colors is a well-known and much-studied NP-hard problem. Meta-heuristic algorithms are a good choice to solve GCP because they are suitable for problems with NP-hard complexity. However, in many previously proposed algorithms, there are common problems such as runtime algorithm and low convergence of algorithm. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the Fuzzy Whale Optimization Algorithm (FWOA), a variety of basic Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), to improve runtime and convergence of algorithm in the GCP. Since WOA at first was introduced for solving continuous problem, we need a discrete WOA. Hence, to use FWOA to discrete search space, the standard arithmetic operators such as addition, subtraction and multiplication extant in FWOA encircling prey, exploitation phase and exploration phase operators based on distance’s theory needs to be redefined in the discrete space. Parameters p and r, are defined randomly in the WOA algorithm in FWOA algorithm defined as fuzzy and are selected in fuzzy tragedy. A set of graph coloring benchmark problems are solved and their performance are compared with some well-known heuristic search methods. Results illustrate that FWOA algorithm are the original focus of this work and in most cases success rate is nearly 100% and the runtime and convergence algorithm has been improved on some graphs. But as we have illustrated that comparison with other manners, we cannot deduce that our algorithm is the best in all instance of graphs. It can be said that a proposed algorithm is able to compete with other algorithms in this context. Obtained results approved the high performance of proposed method. پرونده مقاله -

In these systems, data access patterns of users and network latency may change. The system needs to meet data availability reliability. Data replication is a well-known method for improving performance parameters such as data access time, availability, load balancing, and reliability. Here, a novel dynamic algorithm is proposed that uses fuzzy inference systems to manage replication for increasing performance. The proposed algorithm uses a new comprehensive set of decision parameters and fuzzy logic in each phase to reduce the inefficiency caused by wrong decisions in different phases in a practical Grid. The algorithm uses two fuzzy interfere systems to select an appropriate place for new replication and a less valuable file for deleting when storage space is full. It places the new replica in a suitable site where the file could possibly be needed soon with high probability. It also prevents deleting valuable files using a fuzzy valuation function. The algorithm was simulated by the OptorSim simulator. The results demonstrated that the algorithm is more effective than other replication methods in terms of the number of created replications, the percentage of storage used, and the job execution time. پرونده مقاله
