Impact of Energy and Carbon Emission of a Supply Chain Management with Two-Level Trade-Credit Policy

Abstract

Supply chain management aims to integrate environmental thinking with efficient energy consumption into supply chain management. It includes a flexible manufacturing process, more product delivery to customers, optimum energy consumption, and reduced waste. The manufacturing process can be made more flexible through volume agility. In this scenario, production cannot be constant, and with the concept of volume agility, production is taken as a decision variable under the effect of optimum energy consumption. Considering a two-echelon supply chain, we consider a producer and supplier with two-level-trade-credit policies (TLTCP) with the optimum consumption. To reduce the integrated total inventory cost, we believe that demand is a function of the credit period and selling price. The cost function is analyzed, either with the credit period dependent demand rate or with the selling price dependent demand rate through the numerical examples under energy costs. Energy and carbon emission costs are introduced in setup/ordering cost, holding cost, and item cost for producer and supplier. The effect of inflation on the total cost cannot be ignored; this model is being developed for deteriorating items with the simultaneous impact of volume agility, energy, carbon emission cost, and two-level-trade-credit policies with inflation. This supply chain model was solved analytically and obtained the optimum decision variables in a quasi-closed form solution. An illustrative theorem is being utilized to analyze the optimum result for all the decision parameters. The convexity of the objective function is being obtained analytically as well as graphically. Finally, numerical examples and sensitivity analysis are employed to illustrate the present study and with managerial insights.

Design of Fuzzy Aided Cognition System for International Economic and Trade Information under Supply Chain Management

“…The four core processes of supply chain management are described first in this definition: planning, buying, production, and distribution. At the same time, it stresses the breadth of supply chain management, implying that it is a management activity that spans companies and numerous functional groups [ 4 , 5 ]. An empirical study on the link between international commerce and economic development has grown in importance during the last half-century.…”

Intelligent servicing strategy for an online-to-offline (O2O) supply chain under demand variability and controllable lead time

“…Moreover, one can expand this study by introducing the "production rate dependent defective rate". By considering credit-period (Vandana et al [60])one can extend the current study in a new direction. Fast Evolutionary Algorithm [61] can be use in future to obtain the optimal result of the supply chain.…”

Controlling defective items in a complex multi-phase manufacturing system

“…Based on the situation of the manufacturing system, the investment can be modified from continuous to discrete or discrete to continuous. Without the specification of continuous, discrete investment, Vandana et al [16] considered a cost for energy for each cost in their model. They proved that renewable energy could be utilized as a specification of the investment for the long term, and they established the global minimum profit through it.…”
