One of the challenges facing supply chain designers is designing a sustainable and resilient supply chain network. The present study considers a closed-loop supply chain by taking into account sustainability, resilience, robustness, and risk aversion for the first time. The study suggests a two-stage mixed-integer linear programming model for the problem. Further, the robust counterpart model is used to handle uncertainties. Furthermore, conditional value at risk criterion in the model is considered in order to create real-life conditions. The sustainability goals addressed in the present study include minimizing the costs, CO2 emission, and energy, along with maximizing employment. In addition, effective environmental and social life-cycle evaluations are provided to assess the associated effects of the model on society, environment, and energy consumption. The model aims to answer the questions regarding the establishment of facilities and amount of transported goods between facilities. The model is implemented in a car assembler company in Iran. Based on the results, several managerial insights are offered to the decision-makers. Due to the complexity of the problem, a constraint relaxation is applied to produce quality upper and lower bounds in medium and large-scale models. Moreover, the LP-Metric method is used to merge the objectives to attain an optimal solution. The results revealed that the robust counterpart provides a better estimation of the total cost, pollution, energy consumption, and employment level compared to the basic model.

A new fuzzy multi-criteria framework for measuring sustainability performance of a supply chain Erol, Ismail; Sencer, Safiye; Sarı, Ramazan (2011-04-15) Sustainable supply chain performance measurement is aimed at addressing environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainable supply chain management. It can be argued that it is not easy to reduce all dimensions of sustainable supply chain to a single unit. Then, the issue is that all valuations should somehow be reducible to a single one-dimensional standard. Multi-criteria evaluation introduces a framework to remedy this issue. As a consequence, multi-criteria evaluation seems to supply a proper and ...
A MULTI OBJECTIVE MODEL FOR OPTIMIZATION OF A GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK PAKSOY, TURAN; Ozceylan, Eren; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2010-02-04) This study develops a model of a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) network which starts with the suppliers and recycles with the decomposition centers. As a traditional network design, we consider minimizing the all transportation costs and the raw material purchasing costs. To pay attention for the green impacts, different transportation choices are presented between echelons according to their CO2 emissions. The plants can purchase different raw materials in respect of their recyclable ratios. The focuses o...
An architecture for supply chain integration and automation on the Internet Cingil, I; Doğaç, Asuman (2001-07-01) Electronic commerce is happening at a very fast pace and business-to-business ecommerce is taking the lead, a very important part of which is the supply chain integration and automation. There is a high demand for well accepted interoperability standards which need to be fitted together for supply chain integration to meet the business demands such as being able to integrate catalogs from different companies. This will facilitate product comparisons and producing customized catalogs. Given an anchor product...
Robust parameter design of products and processes with an ordinal categorical response using random forests Gülbudak Dil, Seçil; Köksal, Gülser; Department of Industrial Engineering (2018) In industrial organizations, manufacturers aim to achieve target product performance with minimum variation. For that reason, finding optimal settings of product and process design parameters that make it possible to consistently achieve target product performance is an important design problem. In this study, we propose an alternative method to solve this problem for the case of an ordinal categorical product/process response. The method utilizes Random Forest (RF) for modelling mean and variance of the re...
An intelligent design approach trained by fabrication techniques Sönmez, Ayça; Sorguç, Arzu; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-2-15) The developments in recent technologies through Industry 4.0 lead to the integration of digital design and manufacturing processes. While manufacturing is becoming an essential input of the design, it is usually considered at the last stages of the design process. This misconception creates a gap between digital design and fabrication, resulting in fabricated outcome being different from initial design in the context of architectural tectonics. This thesis aims to provide a basis to bridge digital design an...
