“…GSCM is defined by Srivastava (2007) as ''integrating environmental thinking into supply chain management including product design, material sourcing and selection, manufacturing processes, delivery of the final product to the consumers as well as end-of-life management of the product after its useful life''. Overviews of GSCM literature are given by Corbett and Kleindorfer (2001a, b), Kleindorfer et al (2005), Srivastava (2007), Sasikumar andKannan (2009), andLambert (2008). Reverse logistics/ closed-loop supply chains is an important part of green supply chain management and a lot of research has already been conducted in this field; see for example Blumberg (2005) and Pochampally et al (2009).…”

Effect of carbon emission regulations on transport mode selection under stochastic demand

More and more companies are paying attention to their carbon footprint beyond production emissions. In this work we consider a 'carbon-aware' company (either by choice or enforced by regulation) that is reconsidering the transport mode selection decision. Traditionally the trade-off has been between lead time (and corresponding inventory costs) and transportation costs but now emission costs come into the equation. We use a carbon emission measurement methodology based on real-life data and incorporate it into an inventory model. We consider the results for different types of emission regulation (including voluntary targets). We find that even though large emission reductions can be obtained by switching to a different mode, the actual decision depends on the regulation and non-monetary considerations, such as lead time variability.

“…The literature on the RSC network design problem and its variants is rich and the reader is referred to the books of Blumberg (2004), and to the comprehensive surveys by Sasikumar and Kannan (2009) and Akçalı and Çetinkaya (2011) for a recent coverage of the state of the art on models and solution algorithms. All mentioned surveys considered the RSC problems in different ways.…”

Due to responding environmental issues, conforming governmental legislations and providing economic benefits, there has been a growing interest in recycling activities through the supply chains. Reverse supply chain (RSC) optimisation problem has a great potential as an efficient tactic to achieve this goal. While disassembly, one of the main activities in RSC, enables reuse and recycling of products and prevents the overuse, disassembly line balancing problem involves determination of a line design in which used products are partially/completely disassembled to obtain available components. The aim of this study is to optimise a RSC, involving customers, collection/disassembly centres and plants, that minimises the transportation costs while balancing the disassembly lines, which minimises the total fixed costs of opened workstations, simultaneously. A non-linear mixed-integer programming model, which simultaneously determines: (i) optimal distribution between the facilities with minimum cost, (ii) the number of disassembly workstations that will be opened with minimum cost, (iii) the cycle time in each disassembly centre and (iv) optimal assignment of tasks to workstations, is developed. A numerical example is given to illustrate the applicability of the proposed model. Different scenarios have been conducted to show the effects of sensitivity analyses on the performance measures of the problem.

“…A comprehensive review on reverse logistics and CLSC literature is presented in Sasikumar and Kannan (2009), Ilgin and Gupta (2010), Akcalı and Cetinkaya (2011), Junior and Filho (2012), and Govindan et al (2015) to support variety of future research directions. In the present study, we focus on design and planning of a CLSC in presence of buy-back offer and three way recovery options.…”
