TLDR
A stochastic programming based approach to account for the design of sustainable logistics network under uncertainty and a solution approach integrating the sample average approximation scheme with an importance sampling strategy is developed.Abstract:
The design of sustainable logistics network has attracted growing attention with the stringent pressures from environmental and social requirements. This paper proposes a stochastic programming based approach to account for the design of sustainable logistics network under uncertainty. A solution approach integrating the sample average approximation scheme with an importance sampling strategy is developed. A case study involving a large-scale sustainable logistics network in Asia Pacific Region is presented to demonstrate the significance of the developed stochastic model as well as the efficiency of the proposed solution approach.read more

Multi-item production planning with carbon cap and trade mechanism
Bin Zhang,Liang Xu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the multi-item production planning problem with carbon cap and trade mechanism, in which a firm uses a common capacity and carbon emission quota to produce multiple products for fulfilling independent stochastic demands, and the firm can buy or sell the right to emit carbon on a trading market of carbon emission.
