Green Logistics has emerged as the new agenda item in supply chain management. The
traditional objective of distribution management has been upgraded to minimizing system …

Memetic computing is a subject in computer science which considers complex structures
such as the combination of simple agents and memes, whose evolutionary interactions lead …

Memetic Algorithms (MAs) are computational intelligence structures combining multiple and
various operators in order to address optimization problems. The combination and …

We demonstrate the use of Ant Colony System (ACS) to solve the capacitated vehicle
routing problem associated with collection of recycling waste from households, treated as …

In this paper, a competitive memetic algorithm (CMA) is proposed to solve the multi-objective
distributed permutation flow-shop scheduling problem (MODPFSP) with the makespan and …

The term 'Memetic Algorithms'[74](MAs) was introduced in the late 80s to denote a family of
metaheuristics that have as central theme the hybridization of different algorithmic …

Since the multidepot vehicle routing problem with time windows and three-dimensional
loading constraints (MDVRPTW-TDLC) is a multiconstraint and combinatorial optimization …

This paper presents a mathematical model for multi-depot multi-compartment vehicle routing
problem. The objective function of the proposed problem includes the minimization of the …

Perishable product delivery has been a notable challenge due to the nature of perishability
and high customer expectations. Recently, emerging technologies such as electric and multi …

Distributors are faced with loading constraints in their route planning, eg, multi-dimensional
packing constraints, unloading sequence constraints, stability constraints and axle weight …
