Carbon Reduction Investments under Direct Shipment Strategy

Abstract: Recently much research efforts have focused on how to manage carbon emissions in logistics operations. This paper formulates a model to determine an optimal shipment size with aims to minimize the total cost consisting not only of inventory and transportation costs but also cost for carbon emissions. Unlike the literature assuming carbon emission factors as a given condition, we consider the emission factors as decision variables. It is allowed to make an investment in improving carbon emission factors. The op… Show more

“…By combining theses cost components, we obtain the distribution cost denoted by π D (q, x, c, h) for the direct shipment strategy (This section is based on our previous work in [31], and we redescribe the model to help readers easily understand further analysis. ): …”

“…We first find an optimal point that minimizes π D (q, c, h) based on our previous work in Min [31]. Because of the convexity of π D (q, c, h) with respect to q, for given c and h, the optimal shipment size is determined as q * = min{Q, U}, where Q = DF H from the first order condition ∂π D (q,c,h) ∂q = 0.…”
