Natural disasters are uncontrollable situations that affect human life directly. Despite the researches and technological progress, it is still not possible to predict when or where the natural disaster will occur beforehand. Natural disasters cause severe loss of lives and damages. In addition, they cause physical, financial, social and environmental losses. Pre-disaster, during disaster and post-disaster activities are significant in order to decrease the losses caused by natural disasters. This study is about one of the pre-disaster activities. In the pre-disaster management process, a new activity is being tried in Turkey. Called "Neighborhood Disaster Stations", containers filled with emergency relief items such as medicines, painkillers, antiseptics and canned goods are located at the different predetermined locations. It is important to keep items in these stations usable at all times. Since these commodities have expiration dates, they need to be replenished periodically in order to remain useable at any time. The proper time for the replenishment should be determined by considering the probability of reselling or re-using the commodities with the maximum return as much as possible. However, replenishing frequently will result in large operational costs. Therefore, there is a trade-off between routing costs and replenishment. We propose a novel mixedinteger-programmingmodel in order to solve this problem. The proposed model determines the replenishment policy for each commodity in the containers and generates the route of each vehicle within a given planning horizon. The objective of this study is to maximize the total profit, which is the difference between expected revenue from reselling and the transportation cost for total routing costs for time periods in the planning horizon. The model determines the replenishment date of each commodity in each disaster container and provides optimal route for each vehicle within planning horizon. The proposed mixed

Bio-based supply chains are by nature complex to optimize. The new logistic concept of integrated biomass logistical center (IBLC) provides us the opportunity to make full use of the idle capacity for a food/feed plant to produce biobased products so that the entire chain efficiency can be improved. Although research has been conducted to analyze the IBLC concept, is yet to be an optimization model that can optimally arrange the activities in the supply chain where an IBLC stands in the middle. To fill the knowledge gap in the literature, this paper makes the first step to develop a MILP model that enables biobased supply chain optimization with the IBLC concept, which supports logistic and processing decisions in the chain. The model is applied in a case study for a feed and fodder plant in Spain where managerial insights have been derived for transferring the plant to a profitable IBLC.

In this paper, a mixed integer programming model is established for the loading and unloading process of split-platform storage/retrieval system (SP-AS/RS), automatic straddle carrier (ASC) and quay crane (QC) in the automated terminal. In this model, the SP-AS/RS system operates in dual-command (DC) mode, where a storage operation is followed by a retrieval operation or a retrieval operation is followed by a storage operation. The model is solved by the improved genetic algorithm (IGA), in order to verify the effectiveness of IGA, the solution quality and solution speed of search algorithm, IGA and simulated annealing algorithm (SAA) are compared. By solving the single command (SC) mode and dual-command (DC) mode in small, medium and large scale, the influence of two working modes on loading and unloading efficiency is analyzed. The effects of ASC+SP-AS/RS and AGV+SP-AS/RS on the overall loading and unloading efficiency of the terminal are compared and solved by IGA.

This paper investigates the NP-hard problem of scheduling n jobs on a single machine, where the machine must be stopped periodically for maintenance after a certain continuous working time. The objective is to minimize the total weighted completion time. Two-phase heuristic algorithms are proposed: in the first phase, initial solutions are obtained by WSPT or look-ahead (LA) algorithms;then, in the second phase, the solutions are improved through improvement procedures. Additionally, a mixedintegerprogramming (MIP) model and a branch and bound (BAB) algorithm are developed. The results of computational experiments demonstrate that when the number of jobs is less than or equal to 20, the BAB is competitive compared with an MIP model implemented in a commercial solver because in most instances the former can obtain optimal solutions faster. The results also indicate that the LA algorithm significantly outperforms the WSPT algorithm in terms of the solution quality, and the proposed improvement procedure is evidently useful in refining the solution quality for both the WSPT and LA algorithms.

Undervoltage load shedding (UVLS) is the last resort against voltage instability in critical situations. Here, the UVLS scheme is formulated as a mixedintegerprogramming (MIP) model. The aim of the proposed UVLS model is to provide a predetermined value of loading margin with minimum amount of load shed. The full non-linear AC power flow equations are linearised using a piecewise linear technique. The proposed linear AC power flow is then integrated into the UVLS problem. A ZIP load model is utilised to demonstrate the fulfilment of the MIP-based UVLS model under non-linear static loads. The efficacy of the developed linear AC power flow is verified under different operational conditions and contingencies. The results of the proposed MIP-based UVLS model are compared with the original non-linear programming UVLS formulation. To verify the performance of the developed load shedding strategy, the proposed MIP-based UVLS model is implemented in IEEE 14-bus and IEEE 118-bus test systems.

Different complexities force mining companies to find efficient ways to respond to demand challenges and ensure long-term sustainability. It explains, in part, the increase in the use of prescriptive analytics to optimize physical-asset life-cycle costs and decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Mining, being an asset-intensive industry, provides huge improvement opportunities. This is especially true for scheduling practices of mine haulage fleet usage in long term planning. Fleet aging implies important cost increases in maintenance and repair (M&R), and overhauls. Fleets are often heterogeneous in term of truck performance, fuel consumption and GHG emissions. Sub-optimal scheduling decisions may induce severe cost over-runs and increased emissions. This paper proposes an original mixedintegerprogramming formulation to optimize mine haulage equipment scheduling in the long term. The model considers the effects of equipment aging, fuel consumption, payload capacity and cycle times. Our formulation handles different aspects that according to author's knowledge have not been considered in the literature as a whole: (i) joint minimization of fuel, M&R, and overhaul costs, (ii) reduction of GHG emissions, (iii) heterogeneous equipment performance metrics, (iv) increase in cycle times due to mine aging. The case study shows a cost reduction of 13% in the discounted flows associated with fuel, M&R, and overhauls in a time horizon of 10 years. This figure translates into an NPV gain of 13.1 million USD. Additionally, GHG emissions are reduced by an average of 3470 t/year or 11% overall.
