Large-scale multi-product multi-region supply chain optimisation for fresh seasonal crops under crop rotation

(2024) Large-scale multi-product multi-region supply chain optimisation for fresh seasonal crops under crop rotation. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This project applied operations research techniques to the production planning of an agricultural supply chain in Australia. The supply chain dealt with fresh seasonal crops with strict crop rotation requirements. This necessitated shifting production up and down the country to ensure demand could be satisfied year-round. The models could produce optimal production plans at the daily level for up to fifteen months into the future.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
