Description
Summary:The main goal of supply chain management is to coordinate and collaborate the supply chain partners seamlessly. On the other hand, bi-level linear programming is a technique for modeling decentralized decision. It consists of the upper level and lower level objectives. Thus, this paper intends to apply bi-level linear programming to supply chain distribution problem and develop an efficient method based on hybrid of genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The performance of the proposed method is ascertained by comparing the results with GA and PSO using four problems in the literature and a supply chain distribution model.
