The results show that it neglects non-linearities in all variables and that M1 and M2 have long-run nonlinear equilibrium relationships with real GDP, interest rate, inflation rate, the effective exchange rate of RMB, and trade dependence. Further, an enhanced BP neural network is applied to estimate the long-run equilibrium equation, and it is found that the marginal coefficients of M2 are more stable than those of M1. It is suggested that although China was much less dependent on foreign trade since the 2008 financial crisis, the RMB-USD exchange rate and financial variables outside China had a slight impact on China’s money demand because of its closed financial market so that the financial crisis had little effect on China’s financial system.KEYWORDS: Non-linear co-integrationrank testrange testenhanced BP neural networkmoney demand functionstability Disclosure statementThe authors have no relevant financial or non-financial interests to disclose.Notes1.

It necessitates substantial allocations of fixed and variable resources and financial investments. The bulk of these expenditures are associated with the operational facets encompassing waste collection, transportation, and disposal. This research delves into the examination of multiple Disposal Location Arc Routing Problems (LARP) while considering vehicle capacity limitations and the incorporation of waste segregation. The LARP model is designed to identify the optimal locations for depots and three waste disposal sites. The optimization objectives and constraints applied to the LARP model are geared toward enhancing waste collection efficiency and minimizing costs. Additionally, a triangular fuzzy parameter is introduced to represent the demand. To put this model to the test, a real-world case study in the UK is explored to evaluate its performance and practicality. Finally, a series of sensitivity analyses are conducted, offering valuable managerial insights under varying conditions. The inclusion of waste segregation in this waste management model holds considerable significance for managers. This is particularly relevant because it proposes a more effective strategy for waste management when dealing with diverse types of waste.KEYWORDS: Location arc routing problemsmunicipal disposal siteswaste collectionwaste segregationmathematical modelfuzzy Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Availability of data and materialDue to the nature of this research, data is available within the text.Additional informationFundingThe authors declare that no funds, grants, or other support were received during the preparation of this manuscript.Notes on contributorsFatemeh HirbodFathemeh Hirbod is an MSc in Industrial Engineering at the School of Industrial Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran.

This paper introduces an artificial intelligence algorithm that seeks to find an acceptable solution to SLAP with presented linear and nonlinear objective functions. The near-optimal technique exploits basin-hopping and simulated-annealing algorithms to find a solution when considering four functional objectives including worker safety, which has not been optimized using similar approaches. The algorithm is experimentally evaluated, and results demonstrate that reasonablely achieved solutions are comparable to those obtained by well-known existing solvers. Furthermore, the problem could be solved with non-linear objectives which is beyond the commercial solvers’ like SCIP capability.","PeriodicalId":16024,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial and Production Engineering","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135094254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To reduce their environmental impact, particularly during their end-of-life, it is important to apply eco-design practices such as design for disassembly (DFD) and design for recycling (DFR) from the beginning of their development. However, these strategies are not systematically implemented by manufacturers due to several challenges, such as the complexity of the methods, the uncertainty and variability of the materials and components, and the lack of knowledge on DFD and DFR. This study aims to develop a body of knowledge (BOK) for DFD and DFR of electronic products to fill this gap. A systematic comparison of different BOKs has led to the proposal of a BOK composed of four main parts: Areas of Knowledge, Tools and Techniques, Skills and Abilities, and Terminology. The proposed framework was applied to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as an example of electronic products that require high-tech solutions for their efficient and sustainable management. This approach is essential for high-tech products, as they often contain valuable and scarce materials that need to be recovered and reused in a circular economy. The results showed that the BOK was an effective tool in supporting the sustainable development of batteries.KEYWORDS: Body of knowledgedesign for disassemblydesign for recyclinghigh-tech productslithium-ion batteries Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Acronyms BOK=Body of KnowledgeCAD=Computer-Aided designDFD=Design for DisassemblyDFR=Design for RecyclingEEE=Electrical and Electronic EquipmentEoL=End of LifeEV=Electric VehicleLCA=Life Cycle AssessmentLCC=Life Cycle CostLIB=Lithium-Ion BatteryPLM=Product Lifecycle ManagementTEA=Techno-Economic AssessmentWEEE=Waste Electrical and Electronic EquipmentAdditional informationFundingThe authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) for this research project.

COVID-19 pandemic can be an extreme event that will eventually force many businesses and all industries to redesign and transform their global supply chain model? Challenges concerning mainly reducing the operating cost which is based on selecting the optimal suppliers to provide a reliable product. This study contributes to solving a supplier selection problem under disruption risk due to the lack of literature reviews with a lack of multi-methodological perspective for the fuzzy stochastic notions and quantitative techniques for the quantification of risk alternatives. Prior studies are neglecting to consider the value of risk and prefer to discover chances for optimizing anticipated costs or profits. This study proposed a fuzzy stochastic goal programming approach for selecting the optimal supplier under disruption risk. The proposed model incorporates multiple criteria such as capacity, stochastic demand, and probability of disturbance. The problem of stochastic combinatorial optimization obtained is presented as a program of fuzzy random aim by integrating techniques of value at risk and conditional risk value. Numeric samples and calculation results are included. The results of the models help the decision-maker to optimize the selection of suppliers in the event of a disturbance risk problem by an estimated value at risk and by simultaneously minimizing the conditional value of the risk and demonstrate the efficacy and acceptability of the created risk-averse technique as well as the effects of risk factors on our model behavior.KEYWORDS: Screening supplierrisk of disturbancefuzzy stochastic objectiveConditional value of riskrisk aversion Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationNotes on contributorsFaiza HamdiFaiza Hamdi is an Assistant Professor at the College of Business, University of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, where she is an integral member of the Supply Chain Management Department.

We propose a novel production control policy, named the Adaptive Hedging Corridor Policy, which makes decisions on production capacity based on the demand evolution. The proposed strategy is compared with well-known production control policies widely used in literature, such as DDMRP. Simulation results demonstrate the benefits of implementing an adaptive production control as it enables the closed-loop supply chain to enhance customer service level and bullwhip effect.
