Abstract

Generalized goal programming is a practical and robust tool for use in multiobjective mathematical programming. In this paper we introduce this approach, describe its underlying philosophy, and indicate the specific subclass of models and methods which serve to comprise the overall approach.

Social equity-based distribution networks design for the COVID-19 vaccine
2022, International Journal of Production Economics
This study aims to investigate the role of social equity in vaccine distribution network design problems. Inspired by the current COVID-19 vaccine allocation in-country context, we capture social equity-based distribution by modeling three theories: Rawls’ theory, Sadr’s theory, and utilitarianism. We consider various social groups based on degree of urbanization, including inhabitants of cities, towns and suburbs, and rural areas. The distribution problem is subject to, on the one hand, demand-side uncertainty characterized by the daily contamination rate and its space–time propagation that anticipate the in-need population. On the other hand, supply-side uncertainty characterized by the stochastic arrival of vaccine doses for the supply period. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel bi-objective two-stage stochastic programming model using the sample average approximation (SAA) method. We also develop a lexicographic goal programming approach where the social equity objective is prioritized, thereafter reaching an efficiency level. Using publicly available data on COVID-19 in-country propagation and the case of two major provinces in Iran as example of middle-income country, we provide evidence of the benefits of considering social equity in a model-based decision-making approach. The findings suggest that the design solution produced by each social equity theory matches its essence in social science, differing considerably from the cost-based design solution. According to the general results, we can infer that each social equity theory has its own merits. Implementing Rawls’ theory brings about a greater coverage percentage in rural areas, while utilitarianism results in a higher allocation of vaccine doses to social groups compared to the Sadr and Rawls theories. Finally, Sadr’s theory outperforms Rawls’ in terms of both the allocation and cost perspective. These insights would help decision-makers leverage the right equity approach in the COVID-19 vaccine context, and be better prepared for any pandemic crisis that the future may unfold.
Symmetry breaking in mixed integer linear programming formulations for blocking two-level orthogonal experimental designs
2018, Computers and Operations Research
Two-level orthogonal designs play an important role in industrial screening experiments, in which the primary goal is to identify the treatment factors with the largest main effects on the output of a process or the performance of a product. Often, the experimental tests suggested by the orthogonal designs cannot be performed on a single day or using a single batch of raw material. This causes day-to-day or batch-to-batch variation in the experimental results, and necessitates the use of orthogonal blocking patterns. These blocking patterns ensure that the factors’ main effects can be estimated independently from the day-to-day or batch-to-batch variation. Finding an optimal orthogonal blocking pattern for an orthogonal design is a major challenge. Recently, mixed integer linear programming has been used for that purpose. While this approach is promising, computational experiments have indicated it is quite slow. We show how to speed up the mixed integer linear programming approach by adding symmetry breaking constraints to the formulation, and study the usefulness of an asymmetric representatives formulation. In other words, we introduce state-of-the-art symmetry breaking approaches in optimal experimental design. We perform extensive computational experiments to test which combinations of symmetry breaking constraints work best. Throughout, we consider two kinds of symmetry: symmetry due to the fact that the blocks can be relabeled without affecting the quality of the blocking pattern, and symmetry due to replicated test combinations.
A conceptual framework for measuring sustainability performance of supply chains
2018, Journal of Cleaner Production

The answer to this question is tricky because there is no best method. For a classic discussion related to the best MCDM method, we recommend reading (Ignizio, 1983). The manager should choose the tool s/he knows the best and is the most suitable for the characteristics of the problem.
Supply chains are critical driving forces behind business competitive advantages, hence their sustainability measurement and management is vital. Determining the sustainability performance of supply chains is challenging. It requires appropriate tools for capturing and analyzing data for every supply chain activity and for each sustainability aspect. This study analyzes measurement approaches that are used to assess sustainability performance of supply chains. Using Content, Context and Process framework, we have studied 104 peer-reviewed articles, published in the literature on sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and green supply chain management (GSCM). The results show that various measurement approaches are used to assess sustainability in different sectors and supply chain echelons. The application of multi-criteria decision-making methods is increasing and several promising measurement frameworks have been proposed. The most used approaches include Life Cycle Assessment, Analytical Hierarchy Process, Fuzzy set approach, Balance Scorecard, and Data envelopment analysis. Additionally, this study proposes a novel conceptual framework and provides a concise guideline for assessing sustainability of supply chains. Key challenges that need to be solved by future measurement approaches include sustainability data collection and sharing, metrics standardization, and collaboration among supply chain members per se and stakeholders. This study creates better comprehension of how existing approaches evaluate sustainability of supply chains and provides new insights into sustainability performance measurement approaches, supply chain configuration, and metrics selection.
