Bi-objective optimization for a multi-period COVID-19 vaccination planning problem

Lianhua Tang et al.

Summary: This work investigates a new multi-period vaccination planning problem that optimizes both the total travel distance of vaccination recipients and the operational cost. The proposed genetic algorithm approach reduces the operational cost and the total travel distance by up to 9.3% and 36.6% respectively. The study suggests that enlarging the service capacity of vaccination sites can improve the performance of the vaccination program.

Optimizing vaccine distribution networks in low and middle-income countries

Yuwen Yang et al.

Summary: Vaccination is the most effective method to prevent infectious diseases, yet many children in low and middle-income countries are not covered by routine vaccines. The World Health Organization's Expanded Programme on Immunization aims to provide universal childhood vaccine access globally, and this study focuses on the distribution network design for WHO-EPI vaccines, introducing a new algorithm to tackle large-scale problems effectively.

Locate vaccination stations considering travel distance, operational cost, and work schedule *

Xin Li et al.

Summary: The study suggests that by strategically allocating demand groups and medical professionals, the number of fully open stations can be greatly increased without investing too much. While increasing cost helps decrease travel distance, excessive investment may not be beneficial in certain scenarios.

Resilient NdFeB magnet recycling under the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic: Stochastic programming and Benders decomposition

Meysam Cheramin et al.

Summary: This study aims to alleviate the risk of supply shortage for NdFeB magnets and rare-earth elements through the development of a resilient reverse supply chain and logistics network design, incorporating the unique impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and leveraging risk-averse stochastic programming. The proposed model provides optimal facility locations, processing capacities, inventory levels, and material flows for NdFeB magnet recyclers in the United States to meet 99.7% of the demand. The development of an efficient Benders decomposition algorithm significantly reduces computational time compared to the default CPLEX algorithm.

A Data-Driven Digital Application to Enhance the Capacity Planning of the COVID-19 Vaccination Process

Berend Markhorst et al.

Summary: The paper introduces a decision support system focused on capacity planning for COVID-19 vaccination in the Netherlands, aiming to minimize waiting times by considering locations of medical hubs and vaccine distribution. Users can experiment with different strategies in the dynamic environment, while a mathematical model supports resident assignment to medical hubs. Collaboration with Dutch health services has successfully implemented the model in practice.

Capacitated location routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery under the risk of disruption

Milad Dehghan et al.

Summary: This study introduces a new model to address a location-routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery, taking into account the risk of disruptions. By incorporating disruptions into the model, the impact of disasters can be reduced, making the network more resistant to disruptions. The objective function considers the location cost of depots, routing cost of vehicles, and cost of unmet customer demand.

Evaluation of COVID-19 vaccination strategies with a delayed second dose

Seyed M. Moghadas et al.

Summary: The study found that delaying the second dose of Moderna vaccine by at least 9 weeks could maximize vaccination effectiveness, while the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine could also benefit from a delayed second dose strategy. However, for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, delaying the second dose did not significantly reduce infections unless the efficacy of the first dose did not wane over time.

Food retail supply chain resilience and the COVID-19 pandemic: A digital twin-based impact analysis and improvement directions

Diana Burgos et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the food retail supply chains, particularly affected by pandemic intensity, government measures, inventory-ordering dynamics, and customer behavior. Surges in demand and supplier shutdowns have had the highest impact on supply chain operations and performance, while the impact of transportation disruptions was relatively low.

Vaccine optimization for COVID-19: Who to vaccinate first?

Laura Matrajt et al.

Summary: Vaccines are expected to be the best tool for controlling the COVID-19 pandemic, with high effectiveness paired with high coverage able to significantly mitigate the pandemic. Vaccine allocation strategies may vary based on vaccine effectiveness, with high-risk age groups prioritized for low effectiveness vaccines, and high-transmission age groups prioritized for high effectiveness vaccines.
