Operations Research and Big Data
The development of Operations Research (OR) requires constant improvements, such as the integration of research results with business applications and innovative educational practice. The full deployment and commercial exploitation of goods and services generally need the construction of strong synergies between educational institutions and businesses. The IO2015 -XVII Congress of APDIO aims at strengthening the knowledge triangle in education, research and innovation, in order to maximize the contribution of OR for sustainable growth, the promoting of a knowledge-based economy, and the smart use of finite resources. The IO2015-XVII Congress of APDIO is a privileged meeting point for the promotion and dissemination of OR and related disciplines, through the exchange of ideas among teachers, researchers, students , and professionals with different background, but all sharing a common desire that is the development of OR.

23 European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering
The world globalization has been creating a very strong competition amongst companies. To maintain their market position, companies need to guarantee that all their activities are performed with high efficacy and efficiency standards, allowing not only a company profit but also a good company image. Such image is not definitely related to the service level but also to the way environmental and social aspects are treated within the companies' strategy. This paper explores these concerns and presents a simple and systematic methodology for supply chain analyzes. The methodology will screen and identify the main bottlenecks, regarding sustainable factors (economic, environmental and social) in any supply chain. A set of new indicators are used, which assess important operational issues in the supply chain as well as sustainability issues. A case study is presented to highlight the applicability of the developed methodology.

23 European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering
This paper addresses an integrated biorefinery supply chain analysis in order to identify the critical factors that can contribute to such system effective modeling. Accordingly, a general mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation is developed to support the design of an integrated biorefinery supply chain. The model aims to attain the optimal supply chain configurations from many possible alternatives depending on (i) a large portfolio of biomass sources with distinct physical and chemical characteristics and with different possible locations for its supply; (ii) diverse storage types, with or without pre-processing technologies, and locations; (iv) different transportation modes for every material flows; (iv) different processing technologies to attain a large portfolio of biobased products as well as capacities and locations and (v) manage a large portfolio of end products to be sent to different markets. The model is supported by a database built in Excel in order to allow the application of the model to specific situations and be applied as a decision support system.
23 European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering
This work presents a multi-objective optimization methodology that accounts for economic, environmental and social concerns in a supply chain with reverse flows. Environmental impact assessment is considered through the use of Recipe 2008. A social benefit indicator is developed where the creation of employment in less developed regions is preferred. The multi-objective approach is used to reach a solution of compromise between the three sustainability pillars. The model is applied to a case study developed in collaboration with a Portuguese company, leader in battery production.
