Coincident with the rapid growth of omni-channel retailing, growing urbanization, changing consumer behavior, and increasing focus on sustainability, academic interest in the area of last mile logistics has significantly increased. The growth in academic publications has been tremendous, with three out of four articles appearing within the past five years. The influx of research spans multiple disciplines and various methodologies, underlining the complexity and fragmentation of last mile logistics research, which leads to a lack of unity in the understanding of the concept. We provide a systematic review and classification of the literature to provide a more coherent view of last mile logistics research. The review covers 155 peer-reviewed journal publications focusing on last mile logistics. Findings demonstrate that the literature embraces a diversity of aspects and facets that are classified into five themes: emerging trends and technologies, operational optimization, supply chain structures, performance measurement, and policy. Further, we propose a framework of last mile logistics literature that comprises five components and their interrelationships, namely, last mile logistics, last mile distribution, last mile fulfillment, last mile transport, and last mile delivery. The results provide a foundation for further development of this research area by proposing avenues for future research.

“…Since 2003, more than a hundred of reviews are published, preponderantly in environment, social and energy fields. In the field of Computer and Decision Sciences, the literature on sustainability is mainly reviewed to highlight and quantify the effect of its consideration in the conventional organization of different activity sectors, such as urban systems (Bibri, 2019), transportation (Nenni et al, 2019), supply chain (Moreno-Camacho et al, 2019;Barbosa-Póvoa et al, 2018;Marshall et al, 2015), and production (Thies et al, 2019).…”

In the actual era of the international trade, global warming and depletion of Earth's natural resources, the willingness to generate sustainable and competitive benefits determines us to stop thinking linearly (produce, consume and dispose) and to shift towards a circular approach by closing material loops. The latter falls within the concept of circular economy that, in turn, derives from reverse logistics. This paper proposes a comprehensive state-of-the-art review around the topic of circular economy and reverse logistics with a particular emphasis on mid-term production planning under discrete time settings. The broad spectrum of reviewed publications is categorized and discussed with respect to the main recovery operations, namely: (i) disassembly for recycling, (ii) from product to raw material recycling, and (iii) by-products and co-production. For each of the aforementioned recovery options, this paper elucidates the related definitions, reviews the mathematical formulations jointly with a structured overview of the solution methods, and discusses their industrial implications. Given the legislative pressure to mitigate environmental impacts caused by production processes, a special attention is paid to the greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. A cross-cutting analysis of the reviewed literature brought forward a number of research gaps and revealed multiple research opportunities to support the development of the circular economy. The key findings show an ever growing interest in making sustainable the traditional linear industrial processes within a circular economy context.

“…The paper MIP-based heuristic approaches for the capacitated edge activation problem: the effect of non-compactness (Mattia 2018) addresses the capacitated edge activation problem in which one has to select a minimum cost set of edges in an undirected graph so as to ensure that a given set of traffic demands can be routed. Two versions of the problem, associated with the cases in which flows can/cannot be split, are considered, and the effect of using non-compact formulations is studied.…”
