“…Table 1 summarizes the assumptions and features of some of recently closely related papers of OA&S and LS. Emami et al, 2016) Lagrangian relaxation (Chaurasia & Singh, 2016) GA (Ou & Zhong, 2016) Heuristic (Nguyen, 2016) GA (Lei & Guo, 2015) PNS (C. Chen et al, 2014) GA (Wang et al, 2013) (Cesaret et al, 2012) TS (Noroozi et al, 2017) GA+PSO (Lalitha et al, 2017) Heuristic (Zhang et al, 2017) MBO (Han et al, 2016) NSGA-II (Mukherjee et al, 2017) Optimal properties (Nejati et al, 2016) GA&SA (Ming Cheng et al, 2016) Heuristic (Sang et al, 2015) IWO As can be seen in the Table 1, the OA&S or LS studies only focused on determining schedules of the orders to minimize the production cost without taking account of the distribution costs and revenue of the orders. While to achieve business goals integrating the production and distribution scheduling is critical (Chen, 2010).…”
