While demonstrating promising performance benchmarks, existing reconstruction networks frequently degenerate into identity mapping behavior: they are prone to directly copying inputs as outputs, which fails to truly learn the deep structural information and statistical distribution of the data, and often require training distinct models for individual object categories (one-class-one-model). In this paper, we propose a powerful multi-class unified model based on the Dual-Feature Guided Reconstruction Network (DFGR) for multi-class anomaly detection. One of DFGR strengthens the low-level feature to realize the guidance function of the model to reconstruct important normal features and significantly reducing the reliance on prior knowledge, and the other multi-layer fusion feature provides rich semantic features of the image. We utilize the main structural features to guide the reconstruction, realizes the interaction between the global information of the main structural features and the local information of the reconstructed feature map. Our method better balances the contribution of the low-level spatial structure information to the overall reconstruction process, and also effectively reduces the sharp response of the reconstructed network to small background noises. Experimental results on the MVTec dataset demonstrate an image-level area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) of 98.0% and a pixel-level AUROC of 97.1%, and further validations on the DAGM2007, Rollei, and red and blue datasets confirm the feasibility of the dual-feature structure.

This study presents a bi-objective mixed-integer linear programming (BOMILP) model that integrates multimodal transportation planning, strategic facility location, inventory control, and capacity management. The model aims to simultaneously (1) minimize total operational costs, including transportation, inventory, and shortage costs, and (2) maximize customer responsiveness, evaluated through service levels and fulfillment lead times. To address uncertainty, a hybrid approach is developed by combining machine learning-based forecasting and scenario-based robust optimization. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks forecast demand fluctuations using historical and external data, while the robust model ensures effective resource allocation across multiple demand scenarios. To solve the complex BOMILP model efficiently, a hybrid solution methodology is proposed, integrating the Hybrid Augmented ε-Constraint Method (HA-ε) with a Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure and Adaptive Variable Neighborhood Search (GRASP-AVNS) heuristic. Resilience is embedded through strategies such as redundant capacities, logistics flexibility, and robust optimization. Resilience performance is assessed using indicators like cost stability, service reliability, and responsiveness under uncertainty. A real-world case study involving a multinational home appliance manufacturer in Turkey demonstrates the model’s effectiveness. Results indicate that the proposed framework reduces total costs by up to 15% and enhances responsiveness by over 20% under disruption scenarios. The hybrid GRASP-AVNS heuristic combined with the augmented ε-constraint method demonstrates strong performance in solving large-scale BOMILP problems under uncertainty.

In particular, industrial companies, particularly those aiming to achieve Industry 4.0, enable to collect and analyze data related to their supply chains. Due to the vast amount of collected data, there is a continuous challenge in integrating and analyzing dependencies within the supplier network. While the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a promising solution for extracting and analyzing features from data, the inherently opaque and training-intensive nature of AI-enabled methods still present obstacles to effectively and efficiently analyzing information. To cope with this issue, this paper presents a knowledge-enhanced framework to support supply chain information integration and analysis by combining Knowledge Base (KB) and Graph Neural Networks (GNN). Specifically, constructing a KB enables the integration of extensive collected data with domain knowledge to generate structured and relational information. These knowledge-enhanced data support the training of GNN to encode information about supply chains. The resulting embeddings enable multiple inference tasks for analyzing graph-based data, supporting supply chain management.
