In the MOO (multiobjective optimization) method expected cost and robustness measure are simultaneously optimised. The robust model is based on the stochastic model (Eq. 10, with a = 0) having an additional objective of controlling the variability of performances of individual scenarios. The worst-case scenario is taken as the objective variable for the robustness measure and a decision-making procedure is applied to choose the best robust design alternative for the case study. 

The challenge of balancing the many requirements of a successful compound is commonly known as MPO or sometimes multidimensional optimization (MDO), multiobjective optimization (MOOP), or multicriteria decision making (MCDM). For clarity, we will use the term MPO to describe all such methods in this chapter.

Multi-objective optimization (MO) plays an important role in engineering design, management, and decision-making in general. Usually, a decision maker needs to make tradeoffs between disparate and conflicting objectives. The field of multiobjective optimization defines the art and science of making such decisions. 

The combination of identifying bioisosteric replacements in a lead molecule together with the multiobjective prioritization of virtual molecules in that chemical series for synthesis provides the medicinal chemist with the key information for making design decisions in a therapeutic project. The approaches to identifying these replacements will be covered in Parts Two and Three of this book, but they can all be applied in this challenge. 

In this phase the objective is to allocate in time production and transportation in order to fulfill a specific demand of end products characterized by quantities and due dates, with acceptable costs for the whole SC as far as for partners in the SC network. This multiobjective situation is addressed through a multi-agent implementation. Every single actor in the Supply Chain may be modeled through an individual autonomous agent, capable to make any local decisions affecting the links between this actor and the rest of...
