Sustainable EOQ Model with Multi Container Transportation Problems

Abstract

Industrial developments and environmental problems encourage decision-makers to determine optimal decisions. In addition, transportation is an aspect that has a significant contribution to environmental damage. Therefore, inventory and transportation decisions need to be integrated to minimize environmental problems. This study made an effort to develop a model of Sustainable EOQ with Multi Container Transportation Problems. The optimal procedure was proposed to determine the optimal number of containers in one vehicle. The results suggested that the proposed procedure could minimize the total annual inventory cost compared to the company's current solution.

The Impacts of Payment Schemes and Carbon Emission Policies on Replenishment and Pricing Decisions for Perishable Products in a Supply Chain

“…As a result, the influence of carbon emissions on operational management has recently begun to garner increased academic attention, with the reduction of carbon emissions emerging as a particular concern in inventory management. Consequently, there is now a substantial body of literature examining production and inventory models in the context of carbon emission reduction policies (see, for example, An et al [1], Dong et al [2], Fu et al [3], Hammami et al [4], Lu et al [5], Ma et al [6], Maulana et al [7], Mishra et al [8], Mubin et al [9], Sabzevar et al [10], Sarkar et al [11], Shi et al [12]). Dye and Yang [13], for instance, introduced an inventory system for perishable goods that incorporates a range of different carbon emission policies and accounts for the influence of trade credit risk.…”
