چکیده
This study presents a multi-objective linear mathematical model optimization for the fruit supply chain that considers three dimensions of sustainability, i.e. economic, environmental, and social. A solution approach based on the lexicographic optimization approach is employed to solve the proposed model. To evaluate the model's effectiveness, the conflict between sustainability aspects is examined, and several sensitivity analysis are conducted on demand fluctuations, lost demand costs, and product price changes. Finally, our results show that the profit rate is more sensitive to demand and income; also, the amount of CO2 is more sensitive to demand and ultimately the percentage of responsiveness, in addition to the previous two parameters, is affected by the cost of lost demand.
