Greedy-search-based multi-objective genetic algorithm for emergency logistics scheduling

To enable the immediate and efficient dispatch of relief to victims of disaster, this study proposes a greedy-search-based, multi-objective, genetic algorithm capable of regulating the distribution of available resources and automatically generating a variety of feasible emergency logistics schedules for decision-makers. The proposed algorithm dynamically adjusts distribution schedules from various supply points according to the requirements at demand points in order to minimize unsatisfied demand for resources, time to delivery, and transportation costs. The proposed algorithm was applied to the case of the Chi–Chi earthquake in Taiwan to verify its performance. Simulation results demonstrate that under conditions of a limited/unlimited number of available vehicles, the proposed algorithm outperforms the MOGA and standard greedy algorithm in ‘time to delivery’ by an average of 63.57% and 46.15%, respectively, based on 10,000 iterations.     

A hybrid hub-and-spoke postal logistics network with realistic restrictions: A case study of Korea Post

Postal logistics has a complex transportation network for efficient mail delivery. Therefore, a postal logistics network consists of various functional sites with a hybrid hub-and-spoke structure. More specifically, there are multiple Delivery & Pickup Stations (D&PSs), multiple Mail Processing Centers (MPCs), and one Exchange Center (EC). In this paper, we develop two mathematical models with realistic restrictions for Korea Post for the current postal logistics network by simultaneously considering locations and allocations. We propose an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) model for transportation network organization and vehicle operation and a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model that considers potential ECs for decision making while simultaneously regarding the EC location, transportation network organization, and vehicle operation. We use modified real data from Korea Post. Additionally, we consider several scenarios for supporting EC decision makers. The proposed models and scenarios are very useful in decision making for postal logistics network designers and operators.     

Novel multi-objective resource allocation and activity scheduling for fourth party logistics

In order to reduce logistic costs, the scheduling of logistic tasks and resources for fourth party logistics (4PL) is studied. Current scheduling models only consider costs and finish times of each logistic resource or task. Not generally considered are the joint cost and time between two adjacent activities for a resource to process and two sequential activities of a task for two different resources to process are ignored. Therefore, a multi-objective scheduling model aiming at minimizing total operation costs, finishing time and tardiness of all logistic tasks in a 4PL is proposed. Not only are the joint cost and time of logistic activities between two adjacent activities and two sequential activities included but the constraints of resource time windows and due date of tasks are also considered. An improved nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is presented to solve the model. The validity of the proposed model and algorithm are verified by a corresponding case study.
