Globalisation and technological evolution associated with critical socioeconomics changes altered the traditional supply chain (SC) nature, and the corresponding risk forms. Therefore, modern SCs are vulnerable to risks, and their effects (delays and disruptions of product, money, and...

We quantify the impact of jointly optimizing strategic network design and tactical inventory planning on the cost and CO2 emissions of multi-echelon logistics networks. The obtained insights indicate that longer optimized replenishment cycles reduce a node’s transportation cost and CO2...

The integration of renewable energy sources into existing energy systems has emerged as pivotal in the context of sustainable energy planning. However, despite their appeal, the diffusion rate of eco-innovative technologies in the energy sector varies considerably among countries, mainly due to...

Managing risk and disruptions have emerged as issues of critical importance for today's globalised supply chains. In this work, we first provide an up-to-date taxonomy of the risks that supply chains are exposed to along with the appropriate solutions that can be employed to improve their...

As ports have become key logistics nodes in global chains, port management of container operations has been experiencing radical changes. Moreover, the ramifications of the associated policy-making expand well beyond their own boundaries. The challenging managerial environment is further...

This paper develops a non-linear programming model to design optimal corporate contracts for airlines stipulating front-end discounts for all nets, which are defined by combination of routes, cabin types, and fare classes. The airline's profit is modeled using a multinomial logit function that...

In this work, we propose a single period stochastic inventory decision-making model that captures the trade-off between inventory policies and disruption risks for unreliable (both uncapacitated and capacitated) dual-sourcing reverse supply chain networks. Risk-management has emerged high at the...
