Supply chain network modeling, analysis and performance evaluation

It is hoped that the modeling, analysis, insights, and concepts provided for various supply chain network based problems that arise in diverse sourcing, routing, location allocation, production, distribution and supply chain network design contexts, will provide guidelines for studying many other problems that arise in related situations. It is concluded that the present study on the performance analysis demonstrates the application of new PSO algorithms. It is found that the PSO algorithms are more effective and competitive to the existing state-of-the-art heuristic algorithms in terms of quality of the solutions and computational complexity for the performance analysis of multi-stage multi-echelon supply chain network architectures.
