In the actual era of the international trade, global warming and depletion of Earth's natural
resources, the willingness to generate sustainable and competitive benefits determines us to …

In this paper, a comprehensive production planning problem under uncertain demand is
investigated. The problem intertwines two NP-hard optimization problems: an assembly line …

The implementation of a cyclic production scheduling approach has been shown to enhance
resource utilization and to improve shop floor control. Recently, closed-loop supply chain …

In integer programming and combinatorial optimisation, people use the term matheuristics to
refer to methods that are heuristic in nature but draw on concepts from the literature on exact …

An effective supply chain management approach needs to be holistic and integrated, to
avoid inefficiency between the echelons of the global chain. To achieve this goal, supply …

In this paper, a multi‐item capacitated lot‐sizing problem with setup times and backlogging
(MICLSP_SB) is addressed with respect to two conflicting objective functions. This …

We propose a decision support approach, called DESMILS, to solve multi-item lot sizing
problems with a large number of items by using single-item multiobjective lot sizing models …

Given a graph G=(V, E), the b-coloring problem consists in attributing a color to every vertex
in V such that adjacent vertices receive different colors, every color has a b-vertex, and the …

This paper considers the multi-item inventory lot-sizing problem with supplier selection. The
problem consists of determining an optimal purchasing plan in order to satisfy dynamic …

This paper studies a multi-echelon closed-loop supply chain network design problem that is
characterised by a set of hybrid retailers/collection centres in a multi-period setting. This …
