This research investigates the primary actions that generate carbon supply chain emission generated by the transport of deteriorating products. This study applies a vendormanaged inventory (VMI) model that considers deteriorating items with a single-setupsingle-delivery (SSSD) system, and also a single-setup-multiple-delivery (SSMD) system. This study's managerial insights can help both researchers and businesses make inventory management decisions that reduce the total cost of processing these deteriorating commodities, as well as the total cost of carbon emissions. A numerical example optimizing the order quantity and order frequency for each manufacturing cycle is shown. Findings from this research can assist businesses in discovering an efficient inventory management approach that is crucial to lowering carbon emissions, particularly for deteriorating goods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
