The materials transportation system with storage bin is widely used in mines, power plants, material yards, and etc. Bin capacity size has great influence on reliability and production efficiency of whole materials transportation system. By utilizing some existing outcomes, this paper presents a new reliability and cost-benefit integrated optimization model about storage bin capacity in materials transportation system. Compared with some existed references, this presented model fully considers different influences of storage bin capacity on reliability and production efficiency of whole materials transportation system and realizes reliability, cost and benefit overall optimization decision. All kind of factors affecting designed storage bin capacity can be easily gotten by the presented model. In addition this paper also presents a set of detailed reliability and cost-benefit integrated optimization formulas about storage bin capacity in materials transportation system. These can offer the reference for capacity decision design computing of storage bin in materials transportation system.

Value chains have increased in intricacy and length in recent decades as firms prepare to tackle expanding globalisation with increased peripheral advancements. This involves the adoption of leaner supply chains as well as the formation of ecosystems that provide a stable environment and a constant flow of operations. However, because disruptions are inevitable in today's world, the operational models must be tuned to handle any risks. Complex production networks are designed for a variety of reasons, including cost, proximity to markets, and mass standardisation, but not necessarily for transparency or resilience. Any organization's supply chain operations can be a cause of vulnerability or resilience, depending on its capacity to assess risks, adopt risk mitigation methods, and develop effective business continuity plans. Transportation is the most important component in value chains, and transportation resilience is critical in recovering production networks through precise scheduling and achieving resilience indicators such as lowest trip time, minimum cost, and route optimization, among others. The goal of this research is to clarify the key issues in network restoration scheduling and to offer a unique resilience-based optimization model for post-disaster transportation network restoration, in order to clear up theoretical and empirical ambiguity. Cashew industry which is seasonal as well as face many disruptions in production and processing stages was considered for the study. The study's objectives are (a) Study resilience indexes and its influence on transportation system optimization and (b) Study influence of resilience indexes on industry-based challenges with cashew product. The study objectives were addressed utilising an optimization model based on OR techniques and computer programming. The ideal solution for transportation cost, time, and efficiency can be obtained with the least amount of adjustment and analysis time, allowing cashew farmers to take advantage of transportation resilience and earn financial and environmental benefits.

This papers focus on the transportation optimal model and algorithm in the multimodal transportation. According to the network characteristic of multimodal transportation system, the transportation modes combinatorial optimization model is designed. Considering the complexity of multimodal transportation, Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used as the efficient tool to solve the optimization problem. At last we use an example to verify the feasibility of the model.
