The goal of this research is to discuss an application of tournament genetic algorithm (TGA) for solving an economic production lot-size (EPL) model. In this model, the production rate of the item is finite and it is assumed to be a decision variable. The demand rate is also a deterministic...

Supply chain network design is considered a strategic decision level problem that provides an optimal platform for the effective and efficient supply chain management. In this research, we have mathematically modeled an integrated supply chain design. To ensure high customer service levels, we...
