Overview

Randomized trial evaluates cost and emissions trade-offs in supply chains, indicating sustainable inventory strategies.

Key Points

  • The aim is to develop a model that balances economic costs and CO2 emissions in supply chain logistics.
  • Developed a mixed-integer linear programming model for inventory and transportation in a multi-echelon system.
  • Integrated a continuous-review (r,Q) policy with stochastic demand, safety stock, and CO2 metrics.
  • Captured trade-offs using a multi-objective formulation to identify Pareto-efficient strategies.
  • Achieved over 90% reduction in emissions with only about 4% increase in costs.
  • Demonstrated that integrating costs and emissions in supply chain models leads to effective sustainability strategies.
  • Identified practical insights for managers on designing sustainable distribution policies.
