In this research, a novel mathematical model for sustainable supply chain network design is proposed. The main contribution and novelty of this research are considering environmentally friendly facilities and several thresholds for emitted pollution, which bring this research closer to real-world conditions. Since the amount of pollution produced by different supply chain facilities is not the same, it is better to make different decisions regarding each repair and renovation measure, i.e., environmental decisions should be considered step-by-step. In addition, the proposed model was optimized by the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) to find the best solution in large-scale instances in a short and reasonable time. Finally, the performance of the proposed model and the reduction of environmental impacts to improve the stability of logistics systems are reviewed in a case study. The results of the computational analysis show the efficiency of the proposed model.

“…Here from the circular economy perspective, extending the options for value retention from the well-known reduce, reuse, and recycle policies to the 10R policies is suggested [46] by including the criteria proposed in this article. The most studied concept is "reduce" (R6) because it appears in 22 of the reviewed articles (see Figure 3) and is described to minimize GHG emissions [1,5,18,[20][21][22][23][24][42][43][44]47] and to reduce waste production rather than disposing of created waste [3,4,[25][26][27][28][29][30]45]. Ahmadini et al [41] incorporate both GHG emissions and waste disposal minimization.…”

“…Of all the available model approaches, mathematical programming models are the most widely used to solve the aforementioned problems (66.67%). Figure 4 particularly depicts: mixed-integer linear programming with six single objective cases [16,17,20,24,26,28]; multi-objective models [21,42]; multi-objective with fuzzy goal programming [39,43]; fuzzy multi-objective linear programming [14]; a multi-objective fractional programming model by Ahmadini et al [41]; linear programming with one case [40]; sustainable EOQ developed by Battini et al [3]; a constrained programming model overcome by Zhang et al [25]; a stochastic optimization problem [33]; a Markov decision process [37]; mixed-integer nonlinear programming [34]; two integer programming models [4,29]. Simulation models are also widespread (33.33%).…”

This article presents an overview of the models applied to sustainable inventory management in supply chains and a roadmap for new research. It aims to address the lack of understanding of how sustainability is being incorporated into quantitative inventory management models in the supply chain context. The study is based on a classification of the reviewed literature according to the following criteria: supply chain structure, environmental approach, problem type, modeling, and solution approach. As a result, 36 articles were analyzed and classified. The main findings show that studies that incorporate social sustainability into inventory management along supply chains are lacking, while environmental studies are a growing research area. Uncertainty issues also need to be incorporated into sustainable inventory management models. Another important result of this study is the definition of a roadmap with trends and future research guidelines. The identified future research guidelines include incorporating decisions that can help to improve economic, environmental, and social sustainability. Thus, future studies should focus on both following quantitative models that incorporate inventory decisions integrally with transportation and location decisions, and more complex models, and employing new algorithms and heuristics to solve them.

“…However, this model has limitations in terms of exposition, choice of variables, incorporation of marketing strategies, etc. This model can easily be extended by incorporating trade-credit policy [40,44,45], including some carbon emission regulations [33,46] and taking more than one player, e.g., a vendor-buyer system [47,48]. This study also does not allow for shortages; hence, further research may consider shortages with a full or partial backlog.…”

The Role of the Discount Policy of Prepayment on Environmentally Friendly Inventory Management

Nowadays, more and more consumers consider environmentally friendly products in their purchasing decisions. Companies need to adapt to these changes while paying attention to standard business systems such as payment terms. The purpose of this study is to optimize the entire profit function of a retailer and to find the optimal selling price and replenishment cycle when the demand rate depends on the price and carbon emission reduction level. This study investigates an economic order quantity model that has a demand function with a positive impact of carbon emission reduction besides the selling price. In this model, the supplier requests payment in advance on the purchased cost while offering a discount according to the payment in the advanced decision. Three different types of payment-in-advance cases are applied: (1) payment in advance with equal numbers of instalments, (2) payment in advance with a single instalment, and (3) the absence of payment in advance. Numerical examples and sensitivity analysis illustrate the proposed model. Here, the total profit increases for all three cases with higher values of carbon emission reduction level. Further, the study finds that the profit becomes maximum for case 2, whereas the selling price and cycle length become minimum. This study considers the sustainable inventory model with payment-in-advance settings when the demand rate depends on the price and carbon emission reduction level. From the literature review, no researcher has undergone this kind of study in the authors’ knowledge.
