Optimisation modelling of integrated production–distribution (P–D) plans has raised
significant interest among both researchers and practitioners over the past two decades …

In this paper, an intelligent optimization technique, namely Bonobo Optimizer (BO), is
proposed. It mimics several interesting reproductive strategies and social behaviour of …

The overall performance of supply chain depends on key choices with respect to demand
allocation, facilities location, production strategy formulation, stock management and …

Motivated by a real problem, in this paper, a new multi-period production-distribution
planning (PDP) for perishable products with a fixed lifetime in a seller-buyer system is …

Weight information of the attributes plays a pivotal role in multi-attribute decision making
(MADM) problems. Oftentimes, a decision maker may try to manipulate this weight …

In this article, a bibliometric analysis of Genetic Algorithms (GA) throughout the history is
conducted. A big picture of publications associated with GA is created. A number of …

A production plan concerns the allocation of resources of the company to meet the demand
forecast over a certain planning horizon and a distribution plan involves the management of …

Genetic Algorithms are popular optimization algorithms, often used to solve complex large
scale optimization problems in many fields. Like other meta-heuristic algorithms, Genetic …

This paper aims to examine how a complex supply chain yields cost reduction benefits
through the global integration of production and distribution decisions. The research is …

This paper proposes integrated location, production, and distribution planning for the supply
chain network design which focuses on selecting the appropriate locations to build a new …
