Greenhouse gas emissions are receiving greater scrutiny in many countries due to international forces to reduce anthropogenic global climate change. Industry and their supply chains represent a major source of these emissions. This paper presents a tactical supply chain planning model that...

Carbon pricing (taxes) and carbon emissions trading are two globally practiced carbon regulatory policy schemes. This paper presents an analytical supply chain planning model that can be used to examine the supply chain performance at the tactical/operational planning level under these two...

This article presents a tactical supply chain planning model that can be used to investigate tradeoffs between cost and environmental degradation including carbon emissions, energy consumption and waste generation. The proposed model also incorporates other aspects of real world supply chains...

The emergent field of green supply chain management has been rapidly evolving with a geometric growth in the number of academic publications in this field. A number of literature reviews have been published focusing on specific aspects of green supply chain management such as performance...

This paper develops an inventory control model for a reverse supply chain with separate serviceable and remanufacturable inventory stock points. Return rate is expressed stochastically as a function of product demand. Variation in demand distribution during product life-cycle is modeled using a...

Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) and Dynamic Capabilities (DCs) are both relatively young research fields examining dynamically changing corporate environments and industries. The food industry is an example of such a dynamic environment. Customers have high expectations for food...

Concerns about sustainability matters have been growing significantly during the last decades. The triple bottom line approach – an often applied operationalization of sustainability integrating the economic, social, and ecologic aspects of sustainable development – has gained attention in...

Traditional intra-firm cost accounting tools are not appropriate in the context of supply chain management, as there are no standards for the definition and composition of costs. This prohibits exchange and comparison of cost data among different supply chain members. Against this background,...
