“…have to be observed. Due to the fact that limited information is available about individual entities taking part in the process as well as individual events within the processes, guaranteed compliance with quality requirements (typically freshness, absence of contaminants) calls for wide safety margins to be applied [13]. This, again, implies losses due to discarding products that are suspected to be no longer compliant with the requirements.…”

Abstract-Business processes in production and logistics need to be monitored in order to comply with official regulations, to schedule and plan the production or transport route, to ensure quality and find errors, but also to optimize the process itself. Often this monitoring needs to be done in real-time, e.g. to be able to see a potential error and take corrective actions in time. To monitor only traditional Key Performance Indicators might not be sufficient though as automatization in production and logistic environments advances, the number of sensors and actuators increase and make the systems more ubiquitous but also more complex and the focus of costumers moves from pricing and quality to environmental aspects. This paper presents an architecture of a process-oriented monitoring and control framework which uses visual process models to cope with the complexity of these systems and combines it with sensors and actuators. This way, processes and process steps can be monitored in detail by enriching sensor data with process information to enable detailed analysis, such as energy consumption in production or the maintenance of a cool chain in logistics. The architecture will be explained with the help of a realistic scenario from the food-supply-chain domain.

“…Supply chains for perishable products such as fruits are often more complex and more difficult to administer since food products have a short shelf-life [32]. Unfortunately, the chains of perishable products consume a lot of energy [33] to prevent these products from decaying, and increase the emission rates, especially CO 2 [29].…”

Vehicles Allocation for Fruit Distribution Considering CO2 Emissions and Decisions on Subcontracting

An important problem in rural-area supply chains is how to transport the harvested fruit to urban areas. Low-and medium-capacity vehicles are used in Colombia to carry out this activity. Operating them comes with an inherent cost and generates carbon emissions. Normally, minimizing operating costs and minimizing carbon emissions are conflicting objectives to allocate such vehicles efficiently in any of the supply chain echelons. We designed a multi-objective mixed-integer programming model to address this problem and solved it via the ε-constraint method. It includes decisions mainly about quantities of fruit to transport and store, types of vehicles to allocate according to their capacities, CO 2 emission levels of these vehicles, and subcontracting on the collection process. The main results show two schedules for allocating the vehicles, showing minimum and maximum CO 2 emissions. Minimum CO 2 emissions scheme require subcontracting and the maximum CO 2 scheme does not. Then, a Pareto frontier shows that CO 2 emissions level are inversely proportional to total management cost for different scenarios in which fruit supply was modified.

“…The studies are contributed to the literature by introducing different points such as price sensitive customer approach, return products, stock levels and also seasonal products. Although Elmaghraby and Keskinocak [12] provide a detailed review of dynamic pricing in different scenarios for different inventory situations and customer classification, the same area continues to be discussed in recent years [4,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. However, the discounting and replenishment decisions are not modeled in these studies, except Geoffrey et al In addition to these areas of works, some studies categorized the selling price time periods into terms; however, generally short term is preferred [22][23][24].…”

Perishable products run their life cycle in a short period of time due to the shortness of their shelf lives. Product efficiency falls when especially non-recyclable products are thrown away without being used. Furthermore, this kind of products that unnecessarily occupy shelves of supermarkets cause supermarkets to follow an insufficient stock management policy. Unconscious and unplanned use of our limited natural resources will deteriorate the product portfolio for future generations. Such unconscious production and consumption patterns will disrupt natural balance and damage sustainability of products. In addition to creating very high costs for producers, sellers and consumers alike, these unsold or stale products lead to environmental problems due to such pricing policies. In other words, although the products have to be thrown away without being sold is attributed by many managers to be attributable to the unplanned over-orders, the actual reason is something else. The real contributor of the problem is changing purchase attitudes of customers because of wrong pricing policies of wholesaler. In addition, limited resources are also consumed fast and in unnecessary amounts. The imbalance in respect to the sustainability of these products leads to increase in the production costs, procurement costs and failure to achieve balance among products to be kept in storage houses as some of the products occupy stocks unnecessarily. In the present study, a new pricing policy is developed for product stock whose shelf lives are about to expire and generally become waste to increase salability of these products in reference to fresher stocks of these products. The present study, which is designed to reduce the above-mentioned losses, will seek to minimize the cost of waste, maximize the profit earned by supermarkets from the product, maximize product utilization rates and ensure sustainability of products and stocks as well. Fulfillment of these objectives will increase productivity and enhance the significance of product efficiency and nature-friendly attitudes.
