Design of sustainable supply chains under the emission trading scheme

Two-echelon multiple-vehicle location-routing problem with time windows for optimization of sustainable supply chain network of perishable food

Supply chain coordination with green technology under cap-and-trade regulation

As the green movement spreads across the globe, organizations are under pressure to reduce the emissions across their supply chain. On the other hand, they need to cut supply costs to gain a competitive edge. This paper proposes Green DEA (GDEA), a comprehensive approach based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with carbon footprint monitoring. GDEA builds on an existing DEA model with weight restrictions and dual role factors, and introduces carbon footprints as necessary dual role factors with weight restrictions. Unlike other researches, GDEA incorporates heterogeneous suppliers and also takes into account regional emission compliance standards and laws. GDEA encourages suppliers to go green and cut down their carbon footprints and comply with emission norms along with reducing costs in order to survive competition. Results from model validation in a well-known automobile spare parts manufacturer in India are presented to verify the GDEA approach. Overall, GDEA cuts across a huge and varied supplier base, caters to almost all businesses, is environment-friendly and robust.

A comprehensive environment friendly approach for supplier selection

Green supply chains with carbon trading and environmental sourcing: Formulation and life cycle assessment

This paper introduces a mixed integer mathematical model formulation for the ?Carbon-Market Sensitive - Green Supply Chain Network Design? problem (CMS/GSCND) where carbon trading considerations are integrated within the supply chain network design phase. The solution methodology allows the evaluation of different strategic decisions alternatives, such as supplier and subcontractor selection, product allocation, capacity utilization, and transportation configuration, and their impact in terms of carbon footprint. This new formulation provides decision makers with the ability to understand the trade-offs between total logistics costs and the impact of greenhouse gases reduction. It also allows offsetting the latter through both supply chain reengineering and carbon trading. Model validation, results, and extended analysis are demonstrated via a numerical study.
