This paper proposes a novel mixed integer linear programming model to solve a supply chain network design problem. The proposed model deals with major issues for supply chains; product quality and cost. These issues are usually solved separately, but in this paper, we investigate effects of product quality on supply chain design and transportation flow. A trade-off between raw material quality, its purchasing and reprocessing costs was considered. Assuming decision maker (DM) wishes to work with a supplier which serves a low quality raw material; this raw material should be in need of reprocessing. To avoid the reprocessing costs, a supplier which serves a high quality raw material should be chosen but at this time the DM has to face a high purchasing cost. A supply chain network which consists of multiple suppliers, manufacturers, distribution centers and retailers is tried to be designed to accomplish aforementioned above trade-offs. The paper examines and discusses the relationship between product quality and supply chain design and offers several managerial insights.

Optimization of water distribution networks using mixed-integer linear programming Uzun, Eren; Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) The present study aims to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the design of water distribution networks by making use of mixed integer linear programming. The developed optimization algorithm considers the minimization of the total cost as the objective function. The total cost of water distribution network is defined as cost of pipes, reservoirs and pumps. Nodal demands, nodal pressure limits and pipe velocity limits are satisfied while optimizing the network. Energy equation is the equality constr...
Dynamic optimization of long term primary electric distribution network investments based on planning metrics Tor, Osman Bulent; CEBECI, Mahmut Erkut; KOC, Mehmet; Güven, Ali Nezih (2018-01-01) This paper presents methodologies of dynamic planning algorithms which are developed for optimizing long-term primary electric distribution network investments taking into account some planning metrics. First, an algorithm which calculates a representative primary network model of distribution grids whose primary and secondary networks are intricate is developed. It is aimed to facilitate assessment of primary distribution network investment requirements and thereby defining grid investment candidates effec...
Flexibility modelling of natural gas contracts Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Kalaycı, Erkan (null; 2015-05-16) This paper aims to develop a novel algorithm based on all contractual and technical real-world constraints for a gas import/wholesale company in the concept of flexibility. The Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP) is applied to a portfolio of contracts to produce the optimal amount of purchases pipeline natural gas (PNG) agreements, spot natural gas purchases, natural gas storage use levels and Session IV (16:00-17:30) – ENERGY & FINANCE 18 LNG purchases based on a real life case under various commitments s...
Optimising a nonlinear utility function in multi-objective integer programming Ozlen, Melih; Azizoğlu, Meral; Burton, Benjamin A. (2013-05-01) In this paper we develop an algorithm to optimise a nonlinear utility function of multiple objectives over the integer efficient set. Our approach is based on identifying and updating bounds on the individual objectives as well as the optimal utility value. This is done using already known solutions, linear programming relaxations, utility function inversion, and integer programming. We develop a general optimisation algorithm for use with k objectives, and we illustrate our approach using a tri-objective i...
Discrete parameter Nonlinear Constrained Optimization of a Gear Train by Genetic Algorithms Dölen, Melik; Seıreg, Alı (2005-01-01) This paper investigates the optimal design of a four-stage gear train using genetic algorithms. Five different genetic encoding schemes, which incorporate various heuristic search techniques, are proposed to deal with the most critical constraints of the problem. The fitness criterion used by all genetic algorithms includes a merit function for minimising the size of the gearbox. The results show improvement in the design merit over previous approaches without reliance on the designer's interaction to avoid...
