Designing a sustainable closed-loop supply chain network of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic: Pareto-based algorithms

Erfan Babaee Tirkolaee et al.

Summary: This study develops a mathematical model to design a sustainable mask Closed-Loop Supply Chain Network (CLSCN) during the COVID-19 outbreak. A multi-objective Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model is proposed to address various decisions within a multi-period multi-echelon multi-product supply chain. Sustainable development is considered by minimizing the total cost, total pollution, and total human risk. Two algorithms, MOGWO and NSGA-II, are used to solve the model and find Pareto optimal solutions. The results show that MOGWO performs better in terms of dispersion and solution quality. A real case study and sensitivity analyses are conducted to validate the model. Practical implications and managerial insights are discussed.

An improved grey wolf optimizer for solving engineering problems

Mohammad H. Nadimi-Shahraki et al.

Summary: An Improved Grey Wolf Optimizer (I-GWO) is proposed in this article to tackle global optimization and engineering design problems by introducing a dimension learning-based hunting (DLH) search strategy. The IGWO algorithm addresses the lack of population diversity, imbalance between exploitation and exploration, and premature convergence seen in the GWO algorithm. Experimental results show that I-GWO is competitive against six other state-of-the-art metaheuristics, demonstrating its efficiency and applicability in engineering design problems.
