“…Such is the case in the works of Chan, Chung, and Wadhwa (2005), Jayaraman and Ross (2003), Diabat, Aouam, and Ozsen (2009), Shiguemoto and Armentano (2010), and Diabat (2014) who developed metaheuristics such as genetic algorithms, simulated annealing and tabu search to solve similar problems. Furthermore, Lagrangian relaxation has been implemented by Chen and Chu (2003), Diabat and Richard (2015), and Eskigun, Uzsoy, Preckel, Beaujon, Krishnan, and Tew (2005). Benders decomposition method is used by Santibanez-Gonzalez and for solving a reverse logistics problem.…”
