Anamika K. Mittal, Chirag S. Thaker, Gaurav N. Sutaria . Multi-Objective Supply Chain Model through an Ant Colony Optimization Approach. International Conference on Computer Communication and Networks CSI-COMNET-2011. COMNET, 1 (Decmber 2011), 111-116.
In this paper, we first describe a multi-objective supply chain model and the optimization problem in Supply Chain Management (SCM).It mainly includes measurements of cost, customer service fill rates and delivery flexibility. This model incorporates production and delivery. Then, we present an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) application to the solution of some multi-objective optimization problems. The control of each sub-system in a supply chain is a complex optimization problem where optimal performance can be achieved using meta-heuristics. We then depict how our approach may be useful for the Multi-Objective supply chain optimization
