Modelling cross-docking in a three-level supply chain with stochastic service and queuing system: MOWFA algorithm by Rostami, Parinaz, Avakh Darestani, Soroush, Movassaghi, Mitra

“…Therefore, three metaheuristics, including multi‐objective water flow, non‐dominated sorting genetic, and a multi‐objective simulated annealing algorithm have been used to find near‐optimal solutions to the problem. After adjusting the parameters of the algorithms using the Taguchi method, the results obtained from the algorithms were analyzed with a statistical test and the performance of the algorithms was evaluated. …”
