Amid the ever growing interest in operational supply chain models that incorporate environmental aspects as an integral part of the decision making process, this paper addresses the dynamic lot sizing problem of a cold product while accounting for carbon emissions generated during temperature-controlled storage and transportation activities. We pre...

Ant Colony algorithm has been applied to various optimisation problems, however, most of the previous work on scaling and parallelism focuses on Travelling Salesman Problems (TSPs). Although useful for benchmarks and new idea comparison, the algorithmic dynamics do not always transfer to complex real-life problems, where additional meta-data is req...

The Coverage Location Problem (CLP) seeks the best locations for service to minimize the total number of facilities required to meet all demands. This paper studies a new variation of this problem, called the Coverage Location Problem with Overlap Control (CLPOC). This problem models real contexts related to overloaded attendance systems, which req...

Fuzzy set theory and a series of theories derived from it have been widely used to deal with uncertain phenomena in multi-criterion decision-making problems. However, few methods except the Z-number considered the reliability of information. In this paper, we propose a multi-criterion decision-making method based on the Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory ...
