The contribution of this research is to introduce a new multi-objective, multi-product, and multi-period perishable food allocation problem based on a single warehouse management system for a First Expired-First Out (FEFO) policy. Moreover, it incorporates the temporal aspect, guaranteeing the dispatch of only those perishable products that meet the prescribed minimum quality standards. A weighted sum approach converts the multi-objective problem of minimizing a vector of objective functions into a scalar problem by constructing a weighted sum of all the objectives. The problem can then be solved using a standard constrained optimization procedure. The proposed mixed integer linear model is solved by using the CPLEX solver. The solution obtained from the multi-objective problem allows us to identify days and products experiencing shortages. In such cases, when there is insufficient available inventory, the total quantity of product to be dispatched is redistributed among beneficiaries according to a pre-established prioritization. These redistributions are formulated as integer programming problems using a score-based criterion and solved by an exact method based on dynamic programming. Computational results demonstrate the applicability of the novel model for perishable items to a real-world study case.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":38055,"journal":{"name":"Operations Research Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214716024000083/pdfft?md5=d4934e2ec81af99eee9488876b901256&pid=1-s2.0-S2214716024000083-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140948097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, large neighborhood search (LNS) and its variants (especially adaptive large neighborhood search) emerges as the most widely adopted algorithm in single-objective GVRP. These algorithms are proposed within both metaheuristic and hybrid approaches, where A-/LNS is often combined with other algorithms. Conversely, metaheuristics are predominant in addressing multi-objective GVRP, with NSGA-II being the most frequently proposed algorithm.

Airplane capacity, number of passengers on board, amount of luggage, and boarding strategy are common factors that affect TBT. However, besides operational efficiency, airlines are also concerned with customer satisfaction, which affects customer loyalty and financial return. One factor that influences passenger experience is the individual boarding time (IBT), here defined by the time passengers stand inside the cabin. Considering these two aspects, an agent-based model is presented that compares the performance of three alternative mainstream boarding strategies in a 132-seat and a 160-seat single-aisle commercial airplane. An important characteristic of the model that differentiates it from previous work is that overhead bins have a physical limitation, which could lead to an increase in aisle interferences on full flights as passengers take longer to find a place for their carry-on luggage. Another important contribution is the analysis of how passenger seat location affects IBT. Our results show that outside-in (OI) produces shorter TBT than random and back-to-front boarding, and also shorter IBT and much shorter maximum IBT than BTF, particularly for passengers seated in the middle of the airplane. This suggests that among the three most popular boarding strategies used by airlines across the world, OI is the best when it comes to balancing airplane boarding efficiency with individual customer satisfaction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":38055,"journal":{"name":"Operations Research Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214716024000058/pdfft?md5=ce629ea7008970f0da48b9d6d3c7291e&pid=1-s2.0-S2214716024000058-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140605264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed model captures the strategic nature of the problem and combines capacity sizing decisions for installed technologies with pricing decisions regarding the electricity tariffs to offer to a reference end-user, representative of a class of residential prosumers. The interaction between retailer and end-user is modeled using the Stackelberg game framework, with the former acting as a leader and the latter as follower. The reaction of the follower to the electricity tariff affects the retailer’s profit, which is calculated as the difference between the revenue generated from selling electricity and the total investment, operation and management costs. To account for uncertainty in wholesale electricity prices, renewable resource availability and electricity request, the upper-level problem is formulated as a two-stage stochastic programming model. First-stage decisions refer to the sizing of installed technologies and electricity tariffs, whereas second-stage decisions refer to the operation and management of the designed system. The model also incorporates a safety measure to control the average profit that can be achieved in a given percentage of worst-case situations, thus providing a contingency against unforeseen changes. At the lower level, the follower reacts to the offered tariffs by defining the procurement plan in terms of energy to purchase from the retailer or potential competitors, with the final aim of minimizing the expected value of the electricity bill. A tailored approach that exploits the specific problem structure is designed to solve the proposed formulation and extensively tested on a realistic case study. The numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach and validate the significance of explicitly dealing with the uncertainty and the importance of incorporating a safety measure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":38055,"journal":{"name":"Operations Research Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214716024000046/pdfft?md5=10af9519673ad91c7f729f13bb913696&pid=1-s2.0-S2214716024000046-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140161063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The manufacturing industries face some difficulties in terms of production amounts and smooth delivery rates. Technical experts found that a warm-up period before a production run helps address those challenges and improves the workability of machine tools in the manufacturing process. The use of a warm-up process causes a reduction of faulty products (an adverse production outcome) and improves operational efficiency. Also, a shortage in the supply of commodities creates difficult conditions for inventory management decisions, posing the same production problems as mentioned above. Consideration of the warm-up process has recently been included in the scope of operations research, but it is necessary to study its interaction with the presence of shortage. This study presents a system where a manufacturing environment utilizes the warm-up process in its initial phase and shortages are allowed during the production period, in addition, the study takes into account carbon emissions during manufacturing to integrate environmental concerns. We assume that the company has the capability to trade the surplus carbon capacity it hasn't produced. This study offers a comprehensive framework that incorporates former research that addresses warm-up process, carbon emissions, shortages, and defective items. To solve the proposed non-linear programming problem with inequality constraints, we employ the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions method to determine the optimal solutions.

In the face of major infectious diseases, such as the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the outbreak trend and variability of disease strains are often unpredictable. Hence, it is necessary to optimally adjust the prevention and control dispatching strategy according to the circumstances and outbreak locations to maintain economic development while ensuring the human health survival, however, many models in this scenario seldom consider the dynamic material prediction and the measurement of multiple costs at the same time. Taking the COVID-19 scenario as a case study, we establish a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based medical supplies dispatching (MSD) model for major infectious diseases, considering the volatility of the COVID-19 situation and the discrepancy between medical material demand and supply due to the high infectiousness of the Omicron series strains. The present model has three main components: 1) First, for the dynamic medical material prediction problem in complex infectious disease scenarios, taking the lifted COVID-19 lockdown scenario as an example, the modified susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered (SEIR) model was utilized to analyze the spread of the COVID-19, understand its characteristics, and map out the related medical supplies demand; 2) Second, to break away from the previous premise of only considering supply-demand, this study adds scheduling rules and cost function that weighs health and economic costs. An epidemic dispatching optimization model (Epi_DispatchOptim) was established using the OpenAI Gym toolkit to form an environment structure with virus transmission space, and emergency MSD while considering both human health and economic costs. This architecture interprets the balance between the supply-demand of medical supplies and reflects the importance of MSD in the balanced development of health and economy under the spread of infectious diseases; 3) Finally, the MSD strategy under the balance of health and economic cost is explored in Epi_DispatchOptim using reinforcement learning (RL) and the evolutionary algorithm (EA). Experiments conducted on two datasets indicate that the RL and EA reduce economic as well as health costs compared to the original environmental strategies. The above study illustrates how to use epidemiological models to predict the demand for healthcare supplies as the premise of scheduling models, and use Epi_DispatchOptim to explore the dynamic MSD decisions under mortality and economic equilibrium. In Shanghai, China, the economic cost of the exploration strategy is reduced by 27.36–27.07B compared to static scheduling, and deaths are reduced by 126–150 in 150 day compared to the no-intervention scenario.
