Abstract

This paper presents a novel mixed-integer 0-1 model (MIP) for solving a sustainable supply chain network design problem that arises in the public sector. In our problem, we have to determine a fixed number of facilities to be located at sites chosen from among a given set of candidate sites. Sustainable issues are integrated into the model by reducing the greenhouse gas emissions produced by the transportation and the operation of the facilities. We propose a simple genetic algorithm (GA) for solving this problem. In order to validate our GA solutions we used GAMS to obtain optimal objective values on the MIP. Computational results are very good for instances generated from a known OR test library.
