With the continuous development of society, the social division of labor is further improved, and social production tends to be highly specialized and industrialized. Moreover, enterprise production is increasingly internationalized, and sales are gradually expanding. Therefore, the multi-objective sequencing in logistics distribution is incorporated into the path optimization of the logistics system, and a multi-objective bi-level programming model of time and cost is established. What is more, considering the limitations of the traditional algorithm in solving multi-objective problems, the low-dimensional multi-objective problem is selected, and according to the actual situation, the inheritance strategy of genetic factors is adopted to solve the more targeted rapid dominating sorting genetic problem. Besides, the specific conditions and characteristics of the model determine the encoding method, which is brought into the operation of the cross-mutation law and the interruption of individual populations, so that the building foundation of the model is improved. Based on the further theoretical research on the distribution efficiency of logistics system, the corresponding mathematical model is constructed by using the planning method, and the single cost target is transformed into the time and cost double objective, and the improved fast non dominated sorting genetic algorithm with elite strategy is used to solve the problem, which has certain theoretical innovation. Through simulation, the optimal or near optimal path of distribution vehicles in a certain area is given, which has certain practicality and reference value for the optimization of actual logistics distribution path.

In today’s world, using fashion goods is a vital of human. In this research, we focused on developing a scheduling method for distributing and selling fashion goods in a multi-market/multi-retailer supply chain while the product demands in markets are stochastic. For this purpose, a new multi-objective mathematical programming model is developed where maximizing the profit of selling fashion goods and minimizing delivering time and customer’s dissatisfaction are considered as objective functions. In continue due to the complexity of the problem, a number of metaheuristics are compared and a hybrid of Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGAII) and simulated annealing is selected for solving the case studies. Then, in order to find the best values for input parameters of the algorithm, a Taguchi method is applied. In continue, a number of case studies are selected from literature review and solved by the algorithm. The outcomes are analyzed and it is found that using multi-objective models can find more realistic solutions. Then, the model is applied for a case study with real data from industry and outcomes showed that the proposed algorithm can be successfully applied in practice.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Utilizing rail transit system for collaborative passenger-and-freight transport is a sustainable option to conquer urban congestion. This study proposes effective modeling and optimization techniques for planning a city-wide metro-based underground logistics system (M-ULS) network. Firstly, a novel metro prototype integrating retrofitted underground stations and newly-built capsule pipelines is designed to support automated inbound delivery from urban logistics gateways to in-city destinations. Based on four indicators (i.e. unity of freight flows, regional accessibility, environmental cost-saving, and order priority), an entropy-based fuzzy TOPSIS evaluation model is proposed to select appropriate origin-destination flows for underground freight transport. Then, a mixed integer programming model, with a well-matched solution framework combining multi-objective PSO algorithm and A* algorithm, are developed to optimize the location-allocation-routing (LAR) decisions of M-ULS network. Finally, real-world simulation based on Nanjing metro case is conducted for validation. The best facility configurations and flow assignments of the three-tier M-ULS network are reported in details. Results confirm that the proposed algorithm has good ability in providing high-quality Pareto-optimal LAR decisions. Moreover, the Nanjing M-ULS project shows strong economic feasibility while bringing millions of Yuan of annual external benefit to the society and environment.</p>

Assembly lines are often indispensable in factories, and in order to attain a certain level of assembly line productivity, multiple goals must be considered at the same time. However, these multiple goals may conflict with each other, and this is a multi-objective assembly line balancing problem. This study considers four objectives, namely minimizing the cycle time, minimizing the number of workstations, minimizing the workload variance, and minimizing the workstation idle time. Since the objectives conflict with each other, for example, minimizing the cycle time may increase the number of workstations, the fuzzy multi-objective linear programming model is used to maximize the satisfaction level. When the problem becomes too complicated, it may not be solved by the fuzzy multi-objective linear programming model using a mathematical software package. Therefore, a genetic algorithm model is proposed to solve the problem efficiently. By studying practical cases of an automobile manufacturer, the results show that the proposed fuzzy multi-objective linear programming model and the genetic algorithm model can solve small-scale multi-objective assembly line balancing problems efficiently, and the genetic algorithm model can obtain good solutions for large-scale problems in a short computational time. Datasets from previous works are adopted to examine the applicability of the proposed models. The results show that both the fuzzy multi-objective linear programming model and the genetic algorithm model can solve the smaller problem cases and that the genetic algorithm model can solve larger problems. The proposed models can be applied by practitioners in managing a multi-objective assembly line balancing problem.

With the rapid development of the Internet, e-commerce business has gradually emerged. However, its logistics distribution route planning method has problems such as redundancy of logistics data, which cannot achieve centralized planning of distribution paths, resulting in low e-commerce logistics distribution efficiency and long distribution distances, higher cost.

Optimize the analysis of e-commerce logistics distribution nodes, establish a modern logistics distribution system, and optimize the total transportation time and transportation cost under the location model of the logistics distribution center. Using hybrid search algorithm and improved genetic algorithm parameters, an improved genetic algorithm distribution path planning model is established to select the optimal path of logistics distribution, and realize e-commerce logistics distribution path with high accuracy, low error and good convergence. planning. According to the experimental results, the method in this paper can effectively shorten the distance of e-commerce logistics distribution path, reduce the number of distribution vehicles, reduce distribution costs, improve distribution efficiency, and effectively achieve centralized planning of logistics distribution. Therefore, the e-commerce logistics distribution route planning method based on improved genetic algorithm has high practical application value.
