Biomass is often referred to as a carbon–neutral energy source, and it has a role in reducing
fossil fuel depletion. In addition, biomass can be converted efficiently into various forms of …

Supply chain network design (SCND) is a large and growing area of research. Although
SCND has a remarkable effect on companies' main financial accounts, our examination …

In this paper, we propose a new multi-objective optimization approach for the
pharmaceutical supply chain network (PSCN) design problem to minimize the total cost and …

This paper addresses an integrated biomass pricing and logistics network design problem.
A bilevel design and pricing model is proposed to capture the dynamic decision process …

A feasible alternative to the production of fossil fuels is the production of biofuels. In order to
minimize the costs of producing biofuels, we developed a stochastic programming …

Biomass sources are geographically scattered, and seasonal changes influence their
availability. Variations in location, type, and feedstock quality impose logistical and storage …

This work introduces a framework to address the computational complexity inherent in Mixed
Integer Programming (MIP) models by harnessing the potential of deep learning. By …

This paper presents a design for a feedstock logistics system to supply a bioenergy plant
located in the Southeast USA, specifically Piedmont, a physiographic region covering part of …

Biofuels derived from feedstock offer a sustainable source for meeting energy needs. The
design of supply chains that deliver these fuels needs to consider quality variability with …

A multi-bale handling unit offers an advantage for the efficient hauling of round bales. Two
empty racks on trailers are left at a satellite storage location for loading while a truck tractor …
