“…Data shared by companies may be used as a fulcrum to leverage the engineering, manufacturing and distribution of products with improved agility and increased competitiveness. Such aspects should induce a higher degree of efficiency in production at lower operating costs (Pan & Nagi, 2013).…”

This paper analyses how buyer companies perceive the value added to products and services offered by their suppliers and identifies the predominant elements that affect purchasing decisions and establishment of relationships between companies in a B2B context. A multiple case study was developed in 12 buyer companies from three industrial segments in southern Brazil: metal-mechanics, furniture and foods. The findings show that for supplier companies in the metal-mechanics industry to add value, they must identify buyers' needs, develop technology/innovation, be focused on competitive aspects, keep control of the supply chain, provide different purchasing channels, develop partnerships, and adapt to cultural aspects. Companies in the food industry consider the model for creating value to adapt to meet customer needs, the effective use of purchasing channels, functionality of products, and technical knowledge. The companies in the furniture industry value the methods that suppliers use to capture and implement required changes, effective control of the supply chain, and the representativeness of the suppliers' brand in the market. This study captures the perception of buyer companies in relation to predominant value-adding elements and could guide decisions for the adoption of managerial actions by supplier companies focused on adding value.

“…Constraint (23) imposes that open cross-dock can satisfy customer demand for products. Constraint (24) ensures that there will be a flow from cross-dock to open distribution centers if the distribution centers are opened. Because of limited capital availability, there is an upper bound for the number of DCs and CDs: a maximum number of cross-docks and distribution centers to be opened.…”

“…For example, if nPop and nMutate are equal to 5 and 10, respectively, then we have totally 50 new mutated solutions which are included in 5 groups with 10 solutions in each group. Now, the mutated solutions, called colonies, start moving toward the best solution in each group, called imperialist, by the assimilation operator of imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) [24] as illustrated in Figure 2, in which is the distance between colony and the imperialist and is the amount of moving of colony toward the imperialist which is uniformly distributed between 0 and × , in which is a number greater than 1. For moving colony toward the imperialist in other direction, an angle is applied with the uniform distribution between -and .…”

This paper integrates production, distribution and logistics activities at the strategic decision making level, where the objective is to design a multiechelon supply chain network considering agility as a key design criterion. A network with five echelons of supply chains including suppliers, plants, distribution centers, cross-docks, and customer zones is addressed in this paper. The problem has been mathematically formulated as a biobjective optimization model that aims to minimize the cost (fixed and variable) and maximize the plant flexibility and volume flexibility. A novel multiobjective parallel simulating annealing algorithm (MOPSA) is proposed to obtain the Pareto-optimal solutions of the problem. The performance of the proposed solution algorithm is compared with two well-known metaheuristics, namely, nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and Pareto archive evolution strategy (PAES). Computational results show that MOPSA outperforms the other metaheuristics.

“…Recientemente [11] presenta una revisión de la literatura referente a diseño de redes de transporte urbano incluyendo el diseño de vías y el diseño de rutas de un sistema de transporte público. En [12] proponen una heurística lagrangiana para un problema de optimización de un problema de diseño de redes de abastecimiento de múltiples eslabones en un escenario de manufactura ágil. En [13] plantean una clasificación de problemas que incluyan la localización y diseño de redes basado en criterios como el tipo de demanda y estructura del flujo de productos sobre la red.…”

Modelos de localización de cámaras de vigilancia en una red de transporte público masivo

ResumenEste artículo estudia el problema de localización de cámaras de vigilancia aplicado a una red de transporte público masivo. Se considera una red de estaciones conectadas entre sí, mediante rutas predeterminadas de buses. El problema estudiado consiste en escoger las estaciones que deben ser vigiladas mediante cámaras con el fin de optimizar simultáneamente dos objetivos: El valor esperado del número de crímenes detectados por las cámaras, y la calidad de las imágenes captadas por el sistema de vigilancia completo. Se formulan dos modelos de optimización basados en programación entera para este problema considerando múltiples períodos, restricciones de presupuesto y restricciones de conectividad donde se busca garantizar que al menos se cuente con una cámara de vigilancia por cada pareja de estaciones conectadas directamente. Se realiza una comparación
