Abstract

The competitive environment in the global market makes most countries look for better ways to solve problems in order to earn more money. One of the strategies proposed as a competitive one is to use a stable closed loop to improve performance. The present study, which has not reported any research in this field, proposes a multi-level sustainable chain-loop supply chain (SCLSC) network for pomegranate fruit. The mathematical model has been designed with the aim of offering the lowest price, the amount of response received and the reduction of costs. Our study distinguishes itself from other studies by considering the costs of using artificial intelligence in the production chain and in the reverse logistics sector, converting pomegranate waste into recycled products including ethanol for car fuel and organic fertilizer production. In order to examine the research gap and approach real-world applications, an applied example in Iran has been studied. Also, NSGA-II and MOPSO algorithms are used to solve the model, and in the new solution method, the HSA&TS multi-objective hybrid algorithm is proposed. In addition, in the comparison of algorithms, indicators in the one-way variance analysis table, the best time is . Therefore, the practical result show that the combined development algorithm of HSA&TS is a suitable technique and it is superior to other selected methods, it is also recommended, usable and implementable for the development of the logistics network.
