A design of optimization based logistic strategy for seaweed agroindustry: A case study in South Sulawesi Indonesia

Abstract

This research designs an optimization-based logistic strategy for seaweed agroindustry with case study in South Sulawesi Indonesia. To achieve the objective, an optimization mathematical model was designed to represent the logistic system. A Genetic Algorithm (GA) was designed to find the optimization model solution used as decision making guidance for logistic strategy. A Case study in South Sulawesi Indonesia as the largest seaweed producer in Indonesia was used to test the model. The result indicated that the optimization model design can calculated long-term logistic aspect with which can be used for policy-making and decision making as strategy for seaweed-downstream logistic.
