An investigation into multi-objective decision-making in fresh cold chain supply chain networks within a dual distribution framework by Junyan Sun, Xing Li, Zefei Chen

“…Abstract Aiming at the problems of facility location, path planning, and flow allocation in a cold chain supply network that incorporates both direct and transit (traditional two-stage) distribution modes, this paper introduced different types of cold storage and different types of cold-chain trucks, and constructed a multi-mode coordinated distribution system to adapt to the comprehensive requirements of fresh agricultural products for low cost and high timeliness of cold chain logistics. In terms of modeling, a multi-objective supply chain network optimization model with the minimum total cost, the minimum total carbon emission and the shortest distribution time is constructed, and carbon emission constraints are introduced into the model at the same time in order to respond to the requirements of the low-carbon strategy, and to take into account the operational efficiency of the company, the quality of the consumer service and the social and environmental benefits. …”
