Abstract:

The present study deals with the management of supply chain using an updated Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm named UABC. UABC employs a linear combination of Gaussian and Cauchy distributions to update the candidate food positions from the older ones in memory. Optimization of a supply chain model is an integer programming problem or a constrained integer-mixed problem, for which suitable modifications are done in the algorithm. Statistical analysis of the proposed variant when compared with three ABC based algorithms indicates its efficiency and validity.
