    <jats:p>Industrial systems, such as logistics and supply chain networks, are complex systems because they comprise a big number of interconnected actors and significant nonlinear and stochastic features. This paper analyzes a distribution network design problem for a four-echelon supply chain. The problem is represented as an inventory-location model with uncertain demand and a continuous review inventory policy. The decision variables include location at the intermediate levels and product flows between echelons. The related safety and cyclic inventory levels can be computed from these decision variables. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear programming model to find the optimal design of the distribution network. A linearization of the nonlinear model based on a piecewise linear approximation is proposed. The objective function and nonlinear constraints are reformulated as linear formulations, transforming the original nonlinear problem into a mixed integer linear programming model. The proposed approach was tested in 50 instances to compare the nonlinear and linear formulations. The results prove that the proposed linearization outperforms the nonlinear formulation achieving convergence to a better local optimum with shorter computational time. This method provides flexibility to the decision-maker allowing the analysis of scenarios in a shorter time.</jats:p>

    A Formulation for the Stochastic Multi-Mode Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem Solved with a Multi-Start Iterated Local Search Metaheuristic
    <jats:p>This research introduces a stochastic version of the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) and its mathematical model. In addition, an efficient multi-start iterated local search (MS-ILS) algorithm, capable of solving the deterministic MRCPSP, is adapted to deal with the proposed stochastic version of the problem. For its deterministic version, the MRCPSP is an NP-hard optimization problem that has been widely studied. The problem deals with a trade-off between the amount of resources that each project activity requires and its duration. In the case of the proposed stochastic formulation, the execution times of the activities are uncertain. Benchmark instances of projects with 10, 20, 30, and 50 activities from well-known public libraries were adapted to create test instances. The adapted algorithm proved to be capable and efficient for solving the proposed stochastic problem.</jats:p>

    A multi‐objective sustainable closed‐loop supply chain network problem with hybrid facilities
    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A sustainable closed‐loop supply chain network requires conjunctive implementation of reverse logistics in the supply chain, with decisions that consider economic, environmental, and social factors. In real life, the problem needs to be addressed by prioritizing targets or interacting between them to give a range of solutions to the decision maker. In this context, this work proposes a novel multi‐objective sustainable closed‐loop supply chain network problem based on the revised network design model with hybrid recovery centers minimizing (1) the total economic cost, (2) the CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> emission of vehicles used, and (3) the total obnoxious distance. The latter objective is a novel implementation of the social dimension of a sustainable model. A sensitivity analysis of the multi‐objective model is developed through ANOVA. A dataset of instances was generated to test the model and the solution methods, which are configured with AUGMECON2, a linear programming relaxation implemented to improve the CPU time, and AUGMECON2‐EXTENDED to obtain more solutions to avoid exploring all space of the solution. The results show that an AUGMECON2‐EXTENDED implementation outperforms all the selected performance metrics. These performance metrics include NPS, CPU time, RPOS, QM, and HV. The results show an improvement on average of at least , , , , and , respectively, in those metrics, in comparison to other implementations.</jats:p>

    Matheuristics for the Design of a Multi-Step, Multi-Product Supply Chain with Multimodal Transport
    <jats:p>Supply-chain network design is a complex task because there are many decisions involved, and presently, global networks involve many actors and variables, for example, in the automotive, pharmaceutical, and electronics industries. This research addresses a supply-chain network design problem with four levels: suppliers, factories, warehouses, and customers. The problem considered decides on the number, locations, and capacities of factories and warehouses and the transportation between levels in the supply chain. The problem is modeled as a mixed-integer linear program. The main contribution of this work is the proposal of two matheuristic algorithms to solve the problem. Matheuristics are algorithms that combine exact methods and heuristics, attracting interest in the literature because of their fast execution and high-quality solutions. The matheuristics proposed to select the warehouses and their capacities following heuristic rules. Once the warehouses and their capacities are fixed, the algorithms solve reduced models using commercial optimization software. Medium and large instances were generated based on a procedure described in the literature. A comparison is made between the algorithms and the results obtained, solving the model with a time limit. The algorithms proposed are successful in obtaining better results for the largest instances in shorter execution times.</jats:p>

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Electric vehicles (EVs) offer significant potential for advancing sustainable environmental goals. However, their widespread adoption has been concentrated in urban areas, raising challenges for interurban travel. In many countries, charging station networks are primarily located within cities, highlighting a key opportunity for expansion to support longer distance journeys. This article addresses the facility location problem for EV charging stations to enable interurban travel. We propose a multiobjective optimization model based on the flow refueling location model with three objectives: maximizing CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> emissions reduction, minimizing total costs, and reducing user charging time. The model is solved using an epsilon constraint approach, and Mexico's charging station network is used as a case study. Through computational experiments, various scenarios are evaluated, and a comparative analysis is performed between electric and internal combustion vehicles. Results show that deploying 20 strategically located charging stations could mitigate 3.1 million tons of CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>, requiring an investment of nearly USD 3.9 million.</jats:p>
