Metaheuristic-driven extended exergy accounting for sustainable closed-loop food supply chain management

In this research, an exergetic mathematical model is proposed for closed-loop food supply chain network design considering economic, environmental, and social aspects. The studded closed-loop food supply chain consists of six echelons, four echelons for forwarding the products (suppliers, factory, distribution centers, and customers), and two echelons for returning the products (collecting centers and disposal centers). The exergetic model is based on the extended exergy accounting method, which calculates the consumed exergy in all six echelons by considering the equivalents of labor and capital exergy. This model aims to minimize both the economic and exergetic costs associated with the food supply chain. To solve the proposed mathematical model, an ensemble global–local search metaheuristic algorithm utilizing a combined whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and simulated annealing (SA), called CWOASA, is proposed. In the CWOASA algorithm, first, WOA is used to search the entire search space. Next, SA is applied to further improve the best solution obtained by WOA. A real dataset of a dairy supply chain is used to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed metaheuristic-driven exergy analysis model and claim its benefits over the existing methods. Simulation results revealed that the proposed method leads to a 6.74% reduction in the total exergy consumption of the supply chain. The proposed methodology offers valuable insights, shedding light on the prospective gains in terms of mitigated environmental impact for each incremental economic expenditure, thus laying the foundation for promising avenues of future research.

Optimization of the sustainable food supply chain with integrative data envelopment analysis approach

ABSTRACT In this study, the supply chain system of the food supply chain (FSC) is assessed. Initially, the operations of farmers are examined using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique. Then, locations of relatively efficient farmers are used as potential collection sites for the distribution at the downstream operations. Next, the Multi-Objective Optimization Model is proposed to examine location and distribution channels under the sustainability paradigm. That is, the economic criterion is primarily considered by focusing on minimizing the total supply cost. The social criterion is next deliberated by evaluating the equality aspect of farmers for the fair proportion of vegetable supply. Then, the environmental criterion is incorporated by assessing the CO2 emissions of food transportation activity. Additionally, a trade-off analysis is analyzed to investigate the conflicting behavior of model using the Non-Preemptive Programming method. The sensitivity analysis is further examined by varying the time-requirement parameter to verify the model functionalities. Finally, the regional case study in Thailand based on the food supply data is applied to validate the model. Given that farmers are distant from diverse locations, the results of our study can provide a strategic choice for key decision-makers in the FSC network under sustainability consideration.
