“…Hariga et al [30] incorporated carbon emissions from transporting and storing the cold items in a three-echelon supply chain. Ghosh et al [31] considered carbon emissions from production, inventory holding, and transportation in a vendor-buyer supply chain under a single setup and multiple deliveries policy. Toptal and Ç etinkaya [32] studied the effect of supply chain coordination and carbon emissions on vendor-buyer order quantity under lot-for-lot delivery.…”

Nowadays, many countries have implemented carbon pricing policies. Hence, the industry adapts to this policy while striving for its main goal of maximizing financial benefits. Here, we study a single manufacturer–retailer inventory decision considering carbon emission cost and item deterioration for an imperfect production system. This study examines two models considering two cases of quality inspection. The first is when the buyer performs the quality inspection, and the second is when the quality inspection becomes the vendor’s responsibility so that no defective products are passed to the buyer. Carbon emission costs are incorporated under a carbon tax policy, and we consider the carbon footprint from transporting and warehousing the items. The objective is to jointly optimize the delivery quantity and number of deliveries per production cycle that minimize the total cost and reduce the total carbon emissions. This study provides solution procedures to solve the models, as well as two numerical examples.

“…Generally, the sustainability dimensions should be adjusted based on economic, environmental and social aspects for a production-distribution supply chain system [3]. Similarly, recent years have seen a rapid interest in environmentalism to consider the carbon emissions to design the supply chain network [4][5][6]. In most of case studies, optimization of a supply chain is based on economic factors (profit maximization or cost minimization), with less or no regards to the negative impacts on the environment [7][8][9].…”

Nowadays, there is a great deal of attention for regulations of carbon emissions to enforce the decisionmakers of production and distribution networks to redesign their systems satisfactorily. The literature has seen a rapid interest in developing novel metaheuristics to solve this problem as a complicated optimization problem. Such difficulties motivate us to address a production-distribution network design problem considering carbon emissions policies among the first studies in this area by a novel hybrid whale optimization algorithm. Accordingly, a mixed integer non-linear programming model has been developed. To tackle the proposed problem, a new hybrid metaheuristic based on whale optimization algorithm and simulated annealing as a successful optimizer is employed to solve the proposed problem. The calibration of the algorithms has been designed by Taguchi method, comprehensively. Finally, an extensive analysis has been evaluated through a comparative study along with some assessment metrics of Pareto solutions.

“…Carbon cost/tax policy, carbon cap and trade policy and strict carbon-cap policy are considered as the major carbon policies (Ghosh et al, 2018). Under carbon cost/tax policy, a financial penalty is imposed on organizations for every unit of carbon emissions (CEs) (Metcalf, 2009;Ghosh et al, 2016). Under carbon cap and trade policy, companies get an upper limit for emissions, and if they require emitting more carbon, they can purchase carbon credit from outside.…”

“…Due to carbon policy of the regulatory authority, competitive advantages, brand building and increasing awareness of customers, many business houses are becoming environment conscious. These organizations are integrating green practices into their operations to curb CEs (Ghosh et al, 2016). In order to be more effective in managing emissions, many organizations have started investing in green technologies (Drake and Spinler, 2013).…”

PurposeStrict carbon-cap policy is one of the basic policies proposed by the regulatory bodies to reduce the anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether it is beneficial for a company to invest in green technology or not under the strict carbon-cap policy and for that a two echelon supply chain model is developed. This paper gives insight about judicious decision about investment on green technology.Design/methodology/approachMathematical modeling approach has been adopted to understand the effect of investment on green technology. All the cost and emissions parameters have been derived and the total cost (TC) and total emission equations have been formulated mathematically. Two constrained mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems have been formulated and solved considering with or without green investment. Further, supply chain cost is optimized without carbon constraint to understand the effect of carbon constraint.FindingsThe investment in green technology can reduce the total supply chain cost. The study reveals that handling different parameters optimally can reduce both cost and emissions.Originality/valueThis paper tries to assess the effectiveness of green investment on technology under strict carbon-cap policy on a supply chain and, thereby, added value to the existing work. It examines the role played by various parameters under strict carbon-cap policy to draw insights, which will be beneficial for the academic community and managers.
