Abstract

This paper presents an optimization approach for supply chain management that incorporates goal programming (GP), dependent chance constraints (DCC), and the hunger games search algorithm (HGSA). The model acknowledges uncertainty by embedding uncertain parameters that promote resilience and efficiency. It focuses on minimizing costs while maximizing on-time deliveries and optimizing key decision variables such as production setups, quantities, inventory levels, and backorders. Extensive simulations and numerical results confirm the model’s effectiveness in providing robust solutions to dynamically changing supply chain problems when compared to conventional models. However, the integrated model introduces substantial computational complexity, which may pose challenges in large-scale real-world applications. Additionally, the model’s reliance on precise probabilistic and fuzzy parameters may limit its applicability in environments with insufficient or imprecise data. Despite these limitations, the proposed approach has the potential to significantly enhance supply chain resilience and efficiency, offering valuable insights for both academia and industry.
