Limiting CO<SUB align="right">2 fleet emissions in the automotive industry - a portfolio planning approach

Project portfolio planning under CO2 fleet emission restrictions in the automotive industry

“…The model can be integrated into the overall planning framework of Hüls et al. (2020), which comprises all relevant decisions and KPIs of the project portfolio planning problem under CO 2 fleet emission restrictions.…”

“…The considered planning problem is related to three major literature streams: project portfolio selection, assortment planning, and simulation‐based portfolio planning (Hüls et al., 2020).…”

“…The framework presented by Hüls et al. (2020) additionally allows for the consideration of environmental KPIs. Both approaches, however, rely on a manual procedure, which is hardly applicable to industry‐relevant problem sizes.…”

“…Cycle plans are usually generated annually in a rolling planning process. The main goal is to maximize financial key performance indicators (KPIs) (Hüls et al., 2020; Raasch et al., 2007), but especially environmental KPIs (e.g., fleet emissions) are becoming increasingly important metrics in car manufacturers’ annual statements (BMW, 2021) and also strategic KPIs (e.g., market shares) are considered (Busch & Lewandowski, 2018; Kieckhäfer et al., 2012).…”

“…Even though cycle planning is a well‐established process, new challenges arise from the emission regulations (Fritz et al., 2019; Hüls et al., 2020; Kieckhäfer et al., 2015). Exceeding the legal thresholds would lead to penalty payments and possibly loss of reputation.…”
