The logistics industry is increasingly prioritizing sustainability, requiring a comprehensive approach to carrier selection for transporting tank containers overseas. Current studies often focus only on economic factors, but social and environmental aspects are also crucial for sustainable...

Modern supply chains face escalating vulnerabilities, especially in the maritime industry. Traditional lean supply chain management lacks flexibility and risk mitigation measures, encouraging the proposal of agile-focused SCM. The success of companies is intricately tied to supplier performance,...

This paper proposes a novel method of Pareto front generation from a set of piecewise linear trade-off curves typically encountered in bi-objective just-in-time (JIT) scheduling problems. We have considered the simultaneous minimization of total weighted earliness and tardiness (TWET) and total...

Home Health Care (HHC) services are essential for delivering healthcare programs to patients in their homes, with the goal of reducing hospitalization rates and improving patients' quality of life. However, HHC organizations face significant challenges in scheduling and routing caregivers for...

One of the main challenges of food bank warehouses in developing countries is to determine how to allocate perishable products to beneficiary agencies with different expiry dates while ensuring food safety, meeting nutritional requirements, and minimizing the shortage. The contribution of this...

We present a framework for multi-objective optimization where the classical mean-variance portfolio model is extended to integrate the environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria on the same playing field as risk and return and, at the same time, to reflect the investors' preferences in...

The key goal of this research is to propose a method (and a tool) to explore the evolution of the energy sector in Kazakhstan subject to a flexible "user-defined" criterion (e.g. perception of risk of competitiveness loss for the system), so as to trigger the transition towards the emission...

The primary objective of the article is to evaluate the innovation potential of Central and Eastern European Union countries. The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution method was employed to assess and rank this potential. The research was based on 10 indicators that...

This study optimizes and evaluates a Photovoltaic-Wind-Battery/Electric Vehicle Charging Station (PVWB/EVCS) system using four Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) techniques: MOPSO, NSGAII, NSGAIII, and MOEA/D. The main goals are to minimize the Total Net Present Cost (TNPC) and Loss of Power...
