“…The management of procurement and green purchasing are assigned to audit and inspect whether their supply chain department is implementing green practices in purchasing the raw materials and other purchase-related activities [15]. Generally, activities of green purchasing are complied with approaches including purchasing the goods or services that are environmentally friendly, evaluating products with internal and external auditors prior to their purchasing, or assisting the suppliers to enhance their functions in compliance with ecological goods and services [19].…”

“…The objective of green logistic is to eliminate the environmental effects in the logistical operations in order to achieve sustainable environmental, cultural, economic, and social advantages [10]. According to Franchetti et al [19], there has been much debate on operations of green logistics, but industries of transportation have narrowed its definition. Its definition is compiled as the activities which involve the reduction of transportation cost and efficient utilization of assets, vehicles, distribution, and terminal centers.…”

Organizations of the present day have directed their work patterns by acquiring the approach of green supply chain management (GSCM), in order to combat harmful environmental concerns. The most prominent reason behind the adoption of green strategy is to reduce the burden of the polluted environment. It is a concept which identifies the relationship between the supply chain operations and the natural environment. The present chapter provides a detailed discussion regarding the application of green transportation in green supply chain management, while shedding light to the evolution of green supply chain management, and its principle along with the factors that support total quality environmental management. The overall discussion is focused by elaborating the examples of green transportation in GSCM. The discussion revealed that most of the international markets prioritize the emission of gas, rather than focusing on implementing the green technologies in transportation. Slow steaming, voyage optimization, and efficiency in port operations are some of the major recent trends of green transportation identified in green supply chain management. However, some of the common examples of green transportation in GSCM dalsey hillblom lynn (DHL) model of green transportation and ingvar kamprad, elmtaryd agunnaryd (IKEA) model of green transportation which serves as the major initiatives in the management of green transportation.

“…However, when all industries are open to accepting the concept of green technology, it becomes difficult for small-sized companies to adopt it because this area requires significant investments, and the technology is costly. Thus, researchers contemplate the cost-benefit analysis of this technology that will help attain business outcomes and environmental innovation [27]. Green technology is implemented in Malaysian society, and firms have provided incentives to develop this initiative.…”

This article focuses on the role of logistic companies in economic growth and how eco-friendly are implementing eco-friendly technology, green logistics, and considering the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This research aims to study the logistic sector in Oman and how its practices could be changed into eco-friendly processes to conserve the environment. The study highlights consumption, which encourages the adoption of green practices. Moreover, the research pays attention to the drivers and barriers to green adoption initiatives. The research used quantitative methods in the form of surveys with the help of qualitative evidence from the literature to reach outcomes. The findings vindicate that Oman places great emphasis on the development of logistics services to achieve economic growth. The implementation of green technology allows companies to help the environment and cost savings. Studies are helpful if managers in the business are willing to bring such practices into their business. There is a need to align sustainable development and logistics operations to support the SDGs in their CSR initiative. The shift usually takes a long time, but the initiative must be taken, and governmental bodies must support the greening of the logistic industry. Research findings reasonably advocate the share of the logistic industry in economic growth, so investments in this sector would only lead to better trade and more earnings whilst conforming to the customers' demands. The study faces some limitations, including a limitation and superficiality in the information presented in the green logistics aspect, the COVID-19 outbreak made it challenging to reach the target people of the survey.

The present paper is devoted to modeling and solving the inventory and production planning in a four-echelon supply chain (SC) with reverse logistics, from supplier to after-sales service center and repair center. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first scientific attempt for modeling and resolving the inventory and production planning in an SC with reverse logistics that the problem is modeled by a disturbance optimal control problem (OCP). Both recycling and reworking are assumed in the reverse logistic. There was a disturbance because we considered the demand time-dependent. From the former points the presented model is so close to the real-world problem in the field of SC. The Pontryagin minimum principle is applied to reformulate the OCP into a system of equations. In continuous, the system of equations is solved by an artificial neural network. In the final step, an example and a case study are presented to depict the performance and validity of the model and the method.
