Abstract
AbstractEffective decision making in large project planning presents a significant challenge. Despite progress in developing mathematical models, few studies comprehensively address project and supply-chain management aspects in an integrated framework. This article presents an integrated approach for multi-project resource investment, material ordering and production planning in a project-driven supply chain. A mixed-integer programming model is developed to optimize the total cost of renewable resource investment, production, transportation, and material ordering and holding, with an opportunity to share mobile renewable resources across multiple projects. A Lagrangian relaxation heuristic algorithm is proposed to determine the upper and lower bounds for the objective function, with an additional set of valid cuts to reduce the distance between bounds. The results of numerical experiments demonstrate the favourable performance of the proposed algorithm compared to the GAMS solver. This article provides insights into supply-chain participant expenses and activity scheduling based on these findings.KEYWORDS: Project-driven supply chainmulti-project resource investmentmaterial orderingproduction planningLagrangian relaxation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Data availability statementThe authors confirm that the data supporting the findings of this study are available within the article.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Optimization is an interdisciplinary engineering journal which serves the large technical community concerned with quantitative computational methods of optimization, and their application to engineering planning, design, manufacture and operational processes. The policy of the journal treats optimization as any formalized numerical process for improvement. Algorithms for numerical optimization are therefore mainstream for the journal, but equally welcome are papers which use the methods of operations research, decision support, statistical decision theory, systems theory, logical inference, knowledge-based systems, artificial intelligence, information theory and processing, and all methods which can be used in the quantitative modelling of the decision-making process.
Innovation in optimization is an essential attribute of all papers but engineering applicability is equally vital. Engineering Optimization aims to cover all disciplines within the engineering community though its main focus is in the areas of environmental, civil, mechanical, aerospace and manufacturing engineering. Papers on both research aspects and practical industrial implementations are welcomed.
