Analyses of Logistics Network Design With the Consideration of Carbon Emission Reduction Preference
TLDR
The results indicate that emission reduction preferences significantly affect carbon emissions and operation costs in logistics network design, especially at the strategic level.Abstract:
As a major cause of global warming, carbon emissions have become a considerable concern in society. In this paper, the authors examine logistics network design considering the carbon emission reduction preferences of decision-makers. To investigate the effects of carbon reduction preferences on carbon emissions, the authors first develop two optimization models with the objectives of optimizing carbon emissions and operation costs, respectively. Subsequently, the authors analyze the effects of the emission reduction preferences of decision-makers on logistics network design at both the strategic and tactical levels. Moreover, the authors propose coordination mechanisms for carbon emissions and operation costs in logistics network design. The results indicate that emission reduction preferences significantly affect carbon emissions and operation costs in logistics network design, especially at the strategic level.read more

Carbon Footprint and the Management of Supply Chains: Insights From Simple Models
TL;DR: It is shown that firms could effectively reduce their carbon emissions without significantly increasing their costs by making only operational adjustments and by collaborating with other members of their supply chain.

Consumer environmental awareness and competition in two-stage supply chains
TL;DR: It is found that as consumers’ environmental awareness increases, retailers and manufacturers with superior eco-friendly operations will benefit; while the profitability of the inferior eco-Friendly firm will tend to increase if the production competition level is low, and will tends to decrease if theProduction competitionlevel is high.

A new multi-objective stochastic model for a forward/reverse logistic network design with responsiveness and quality level
TL;DR: In this article, a stochastic multi-objective model for forward/reverse logistic network design under a uncertain environment including three echelons in forward direction (i.e., suppliers, plants, and distribution centers) and two echelon in backward direction (e.g., collection centers and disposal centers).
