Supply chain planning/optimization presents various challenges to decision makers globally due to its highly complicated nature as well as its large-scale structure. Over the years various state-of-the-art methods have been employed to model supply chains. Optimization techniques are then applied to such models to help with optimal decision making. However, with highly complex industrial systems such as these, conventional metaheuristics are still plagued by various drawbacks. Strategies such as hybridization and algorithmic modifications have been the focus of previous efforts to improve the performance of conventional metaheuristics. In light of these developments, this chapter presents two solution methods for tackling the biofuel supply chain problem.


Supply chain problems are large-scale problems with complex interlinked variables. This sort of characteristic closely resembles structures often encountered in the nuclei of heavy atoms (e.g., platinum, gold or rhodium). Such structures are said to have the property of universality.
