Coal supply chain optimization with Tabu Search algorithm

Coal three-tier supply chain system consists of several suppliers, manufacturers and retailers. This paper establishes the supply chain system model base on analysis subsystem membership, analyze and optimists the supply chain system model with Tabu Search algorithm. Finally, many examples show the model and algorithm is feasible and effective. Base on the results for the solution of supply chain system model, Tabu Search algorithm is better than traditional Genetic Algorithm and Branch and Bound Method.
