Abstract

Purpose: This paper presents an accurate estimation and forecasting of gasoline consumption. This is vital for the policy and decision-making process in the energy sector. Method: A hybrid data-driven model based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) approach was developed for optimum estimation and forecasting of gasoline consumption. The proposed hybrid ARIMA-ANN approach considers six lagged variables and one forecasted value provided by the ARIMA process. The ANN trains and tests data with a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) approach, which has the lowest Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). To show the applicability and superiority of the proposed hybrid approach, daily available data were collected for 7 years (2015–2021) in Iran. Results: The acquired results show a high accuracy of about 94.27%  using the proposed hybrid ARIMA-ANN method. The results of the proposed model are compared with respect to the regression models and the ARIMA process. Conclusions: Analyzing consumption patterns can provide insights into consumer behavior, enabling NIORDC to tailor its services and marketing strategies more effectively. Limitations: Eliminating subsidies from gasoline prices has led to the appearance of noisy data in gasoline consumption in Iran's National Oil Refining and Distribution Company.   Contribution: The outcome of this paper justifies the capability of the proposed hybrid ARIMA-ANN approach in accurate forecasting of gasoline consumption.

Abstract

Purpose: This study presents a tri-objective model for the integrated planning of production and distribution within a multi-level supply chain network that encompasses multiple product types and time periods. Research methodology: The supply chain network includes manufacturer plants (MPs), distribution centers (DCs), retailers, and final customers. The proposed model aims to minimize total supply chain costs, ensure timely delivery of products to customers, and reduce the lost demand rate. Classified as a linear integer programming problem, which is NP-Hard, the model’s complexity is addressed using two multi-objective meta-heuristic approaches based on the Pareto method: the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) and the Non-Dominated Ranking Genetic Algorithm (NRGA). The Taguchi method is employed to optimize the input parameters of these algorithms. Results: The performance of the proposed solution methods is evaluated through various test problems of different dimensions. Statistical analyses confirm the effectiveness and reliability of both algorithms in achieving the defined objectives. Conclusions: The findings highlight that multi-objective meta-heuristic approaches, when parameter-tuned appropriately, provide efficient and practical solutions for integrated supply chain planning, offering a balance among cost, service level, and demand fulfillment. Limitations: The study acknowledges the inherent complexity of the problem and the dependency of meta-heuristic outputs on parameter settings, which may influence solution robustness. Contribution: This research contributes to the literature by providing a robust framework for optimizing production and distribution in complex supply chain networks, delivering insights into the application of advanced algorithmic strategies in operational planning.

Abstract

Purpose: One key difference between project-oriented and routine organizations is their supply chain, which requires distinct management approaches. This article presents a conceptual model of lean and agile supply chains in project-oriented organizations by examining lean functions and supply chain agility. Research Methodology: This study is descriptive-analytical in method and applied in purpose. The statistical population included managers and supply chain experts from project-based organizations, with a sample of 105 people selected via purposive sampling. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to gather data, and structural equation modeling with the PLS software was applied to test the model. Results: The findings indicate that 114 identified items significantly explain their related components. The model fit study results, based on convergent validity, Cronbach's alpha, and other validity indices, show that the model is in the desired condition. Conclusions: This study presents a conceptual model for lean and agile supply chains in project-oriented organizations, emphasizing the need for flexibility and external knowledge engagement. The model’s components are valid, and further research could explore its practical application across various sectors. Limitations: This research only described Knowledge Based Centre. Contribution: Organizations realized that relying solely on existing knowledge is insufficient to compete in a competitive environment and began seeking knowledge beyond their organizational boundaries. Customers were recognized as valuable knowledge resources, necessitating interaction with leading organizations.
