A new inventory model for cold items that considers costs and emissions

Sustainable trade credit and replenishment decisions with credit-linked demand under carbon emission constraints

“…Zhang and Xu (2013) extended the multi-item newsvendor problem to the multi-item production-planning problem with finite capacity under the Carbon Cap-and-Trade policy. Bozorgi, Pazour, and Nazzal (2014) examined an inventory model for cold items in which the emission and costs associated with transportation are represented in the non-linear objective function. They also analyzed the trade-off between the cost function and emission function, and observed that the emission function is more sensitive to deviation from optimality than the cost function.…”

Multi-product inventory model for cold items with cost and emission consideration

“…Bozorgi et al, (2014) propose a new inventory model that considers the unit holding capacity, as well as unit transportation capacity. The proposed model is applicable for items that are required to be kept and/or transported in different holding/transportation units.…”

“…In this work, we expand the proposed model by Bozorgi et al (2014) to consider multiple types of products. This introduces new challenges to the modeling approach: we not only need to model different product types, but also need to consider the compatibility of the items for sharing storage and transportation units.…”

Sustainable Agri-Food Supply Chain with Uncertain Demand and Lead Time

“…Examples of research conducted in this field are [13,[18][19][20][21][22] which consider general perishable products, with the exception of [22], which investigates a perishable ASC. It is observed that all models account for classical costs elements combined with the environmental impact of the supply chain.…”

“…The common source of emissions considered in all reviewed research is transportation; other sources such as cooling [18,22] and recycling [20] were also considered.…”
