Abstract:
Major challenges in the management of blood supply chain are related to the shortage and wastage of the blood products. Given the perishability characteristics of blood which can be stored up to a limited number of days, if hospitals and blood centers keep an excessive number of blood units on inventory, wastages may occur. On the other hand, if sufficient number of blood units are not stored on inventory, shortages of this resource may cause the cancellations of important activities and increase the fatality rates at hospitals.

Supply chains have evolved to keep pace with the rapid growth in these business dynamics, becoming longer and more complex. As a result, supply chains are systems with a great number of network connections among their multiple components. The interactions of the network components with respect to each other and the environment cause these systems to behave in a highly nonlinear dynamic manner. Ripple effects that have

Supply chain models describe the activities carried out in the process industry. They are used to design and operate complex sequences of tasks that transform raw materials and deliver final products to markets. Many optimization models have been developed for supply chain planning because they offer the possibility of finding strategies that lead to greater economic benefits. The traditional models have focused on finding the optimal decisions of the supply chain planner in a deterministic context. However, it is widely recognized that uncertainty and external decisionmakers play a fundamenta

Abstract:
Höganäs AB's current distribution network for iron powder in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region is subject to high costs incurred by large inventories and high cost of capital. As a result of increasing demand and service level requirements from customers, inventories have steadily increased. Keeping a high inventory level has enabled high service levels irrespective of supply disruptions or changes in demand. It is important that the distribution network incorporates a balance between robustness and cost efficiency and not only focuses on one of these aspects. The purpose of this project is to pr

Abstract:
In today's competitive market place, all the components of a supply chain must be well coordinated to achieve economic and service goals. This dissertation is devoted to the modeling, analysis, and development of solution approaches for some logistics problems with emphasis on coordination of various supply chain components and decisions. Specifically, we have addressed four problems in this domain that span various decision levels. The first problem deals with integrated production and shipping scheduling for a single manufacturer and multiple customers. We develop an optimum-seeking algori

Abstract:
This dissertation presents a comprehensive and comparative progress in sequencing approaches of mixed-model just-in-time (JIT) sequencing problem together with discrete apportioment problem (DAP). The goal of JIT sequencing problem (JITSP) is to keep the rate of usage of parts as constant as possible along the assembly lines, and the goal of DAP is to divide a given integer number of delegates proportionally among the states or the parties according to their population or votes. Furthermore, the supply chain logistics problem is also reported in here with some real life applications.The single

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur le développement de modèles mathématiques et d’algorithmes d’optimisation pour la conception de chaînes logistiques durables. Nous proposons des modèles mono-périodiques, multi-produits et multi-modes de transport à quatre niveaux (fournisseurs, unités de production, entrepôts et clients) couvrant les piliers économique et environnemental du développement durable. Les variables de décision concernent la localisation des sites logistiques intermédiaires (unités de production et entrepôts), les choix de technologie et de mode de transport, et la détermination des flux de pr
