Outline of Final Research Achievements

To provide a decision aid coping with innovative logistic systems, this study has aimed at exploring a new paradigm known as optimization engineering. To work with this idea from strategic, tactical and operational aspects, we have developed a user-friendly framework suitable to total optimization as a whole. First, we formulate a mathematical model with Weber basis cost accounting to discuss the issue generally and substantially. Then, we have developed its hybrid meta-heuristic method possible to solve practically real world problems. We have shown not only every method obtained here is significant by itself but also expects a smart and resilient deployment available for responding to various dynamism of society if it is utilized in the proposed framework.
