The PROMETHEE II (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment of Evaluations) method stands out as a robust performer, and the CRITIC (Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation) weighting method emerges as a reliable choice for constructing portfolios with favorable risk-adjusted returns. Moreover, the MCDA methods demonstrate potential computational efficiency over the tested MV implementation, enhancing their practicality.

One is food distribution, one of the most needed essential supplies after a disaster. However, delays in the delivery of food logistics often occur, resulting in fatal consequences for disaster victims. In HLSCM, delays are referred to as risks, while the causes of delays are risk agents that must be identified. Identifying risk agents in distribution delays is crucial because it dramatically affects the entire HLSCM flow. This study proposes a hybrid literature search strategy combined with expert judgment to identify risk agents that cause food delivery delays in the HLSCM process. The results of this study indicate that there are 17 risk agents affecting food logistics delivery delays. Based on the mathematical aggregation of expert judgment results, the highest average values are shown by three risk agents: “inventory quantity,” “road conditions,” and “communication problems.” This investigation fills the gap in the existing HLSCM literature by explicitly identifying and validating these risk factors. The hybrid literature search strategy combines a systematic literature review with expert judgment and provides a strong framework for future research. These findings offer practical insights for stakeholders to improve logistics efficiency and ensure timely aid delivery. While focusing on risk identification, this study lays the groundwork for future research to prioritize risk mitigation strategies and further refine HLSCM practices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"352 1-2","pages":"217 - 250"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10479-025-06773-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145037118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Facing the network effects as well as system service congestion, the propensities of customers for interacting with other users are heterogeneous. In this paper, we investigate pricing in a two-stage sales model in the presence of network effects and customer heterogeneity, modeled as a single-server queueing model with congestion in each stage. In the two-stage sales system, initial sales are usually targeted at establishing the brand, while later sales are aimed at maximizing profit. In contrast to traditional sales, we find that the initial pricing decision under the influence of network effects can be optimized on either a subsidy or charging strategy. Specifically, our results indicate that the subsidy strategy is more advantageous under situations where either the second-stage price is relatively high or the strength of network effects is relatively low; otherwise, the charging strategy is better off. Further, it is revealed that strategic behavior of customers may drive prices up in the first stage, which in turn damages the firm’s revenue. Our results provide valuable insights that ignoring the impacts of network effects and strategic customer behavior may result in significant revenue loss to the firm.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"351 3","pages":"2059 - 2093"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144888089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to find an efficient solution for humanitarian relief logistics in disasters by reducing time and cost. A sustainable-resilient multi-commodity, multi-depot, multi-objective, mixed-integer programming model is proposed for humanitarian relief logistics networks. The model considers network disruption, backup facilities, and rescue operations within standard relief time and golden time. The model utilizes a heterogeneous fleet of vehicles at different speeds, considering physical and mental health services at mild, moderate, and severe levels, and hygiene items such as diapers and sanitary pads in shelters. These components are included in the model to achieve Sustainable Development Goals and sustainability, the most important of which is Good Health and Well-being. After linearization, a case study is conducted to assess the validity of the model. Our proposed model is designed for a two-echelon location-allocation problem integrating pre- and post-disaster actions and solved via the augmented ε-constraint method in CPLEX/GAMS. It is observed that the model effectively allocates demands within a reasonable time and cost, finds facility locations, and activates backup facilities when warehouses are damaged due to disruption. The obtained results of the multi-objective model illustrate a trade-off between the objective functions, where a slight decrease in the response time leads to significantly higher costs. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates that an increase in demand leads to higher variable costs and longer response time but does not affect fixed costs. Furthermore, increasing the number of facility disruptions extends the relief time.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"351 3","pages":"2191 - 2232"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144888084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
