Title :
Agile Partner Selection Based on Meta-heuristic Algorithm
Author :

Abstract :
In practice, partner selection in agile supply chain network usually involves multi-stages instead of one. In this paper, it is shown that this problem can be represented as a directed graph model. The natures of the proposed model enable us to design a meta-heuristic algorithm - GACA which combined the pros part of ACOA and GA for solving the good path search problem. Computational results show the efficiency of our algorithm in compare to the other techniques.
