Collaborative production-distribution planning problem in supply chain systems is dealt with in this paper. A multi-objective linear programming model is developed in this concern. In order to reflect the collaborative planning issues to the model and to provide a more realistic model structure,...

The purpose of this study is to develop a decision support system (DSS) for design and management of anaerobic digestion based biomass to energy supply chains in a cost effective and environment friendly manner by tackling inherent uncertainties. To this aim, a fuzzy multiobjective mixed integer...
