TL;DR: In this paper , a simulation model of a mixed-model assembly line composed by a supermarket, diverse kits, human pickers and automated guided vehicles (AGV) is explored to analyze the potential for production support operation improvement, where the introduction of automated technologies like robots is explored.

TL;DR: In this paper , a new resilient SC metric is proposed, which is incorporated into a developed optimisation model, where economic and responsiveness objectives are maximised when designing and planning resilient SC considering all SC entities.

TL;DR: In this article, a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is proposed for downstream PSC to develop an efficient network design with tactical planning decisions of production, storage, transportation, importation and exportation volumes of crude oil and derived products.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a multi-objective optimization approach for the design of multipurpose batch facilities considering economic aspects, and presented the identification of a range of optimal plant topologies, facilities design and storage policies that minimize the total cost of the system, while maximizing the production subject to total product demands and operational restrictions.

TL;DR: This work presents an alternative optimization approach, adapted from symmetric fuzzy linear programming (SFLP), which is applied to the design and scheduling of this kind of facilities, and results are compared to those obtained with the mono-objective model through the e-constraint approach.
