TL;DR: An extension version of two-stage transportation problem (tsTP) to minimize the total logistic cost including the opening costs of distribution centers (DCs) and shipping cost from plants to DCs and from DCs to customers is considered.
Abstract: Supply Chain Management (SCM) describes the discipline of optimizing the delivery of goods, services and information from supplier to customer. Transportation network design is one of the most important fields of SCM. It offers great potential to reduce costs and to improve service quality. In this paper, we consider an extension version of two-stage transportation problem (tsTP) to minimize the total logistic cost including the opening costs of distribution centers (DCs) and shipping cost from plants to DCs and from DCs to customers. To solve the problem, we developed a priority-based Genetic Algorithm (pb-GA), in which new decoding and encoding procedures were used to adapt to the characteristic of tsTP, and proposed a new crossover operator called as Weight Mapping Crossover (WMX). An experimental study was carried out into two-stages. While the effect of WMX on the performance of pb-GA was investigated in the first stage, pb-GA and another GA approach based on different representation method were compared according to solution quality and solution time in the second stage.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a framework to examine the threat of potential disruptions on supply chain processes and focus on potential mitigation and supply chain design strategies that can be implemented to mitigate this risk.

TL;DR: A framework for sustainable performance characterization and assessment is proposed and an analytical assessment model, based on the relationships between a supply chain management practice and the three fields of sustainable development, serves to produce the sustainable performance profile of a practice, identified by a triad.

TL;DR: An integrated approach, with a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and a fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) as its important elements, has been used for capturing the subjectivity of the situation with a final conversion to a crisp value which is much more comprehensible.
Abstract: Risk is inherent in almost every activity of supply chain management. With the ever-increasing push for efficiency, supply chains today are getting more and more risky. Adding to the difficulty of dealing with these risks is the amount of subjectivity and uncertainty involved. This makes analytical examination of the situation very difficult, especially as the amount of information available at a particular time is not sufficient for such an analysis. Thus a supply chain risk index, which captures the level of risk faced by a supply chain in a given situation, is the need of the hour. This study is an effort towards quantifying the risks in a supply chain and then consolidating the values into a comprehensive risk index. An integrated approach, with a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and a fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) as its important elements, has been used for this purpose. Fuzzy values in this study help in capturing the subjectivity of the s...
