The impact of carbon policies on supply chain design and logistics of a major retailer

Low-Carbon Planning and Design in B&R Logistics Service: A Case Study of an E-Commerce Big Data Platform in China

“…Paltsev et al [28] evaluated the US greenhouse gas quota and trading plan and analyzed the Emissions Forecasting and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model. Quota transaction [19,22] CERs [21,23] Certified emission reduction EUAs [24][25][26][27] European Union emission quota AAUs [28] Assigned amount units Program trading [30] VERs [31][32][33][34][35] Voluntary emission reduction VCS [36][37][38] Voluntary carbon standard…”

“…In recent years, some researchers have made contributions to this, Choi [30] obtained the selection of supply chain under carbon caps, and explored the different forms of carbon tax effect on the overall design of the supply chain. Jin [32] investigated logistics transportation mode selection of the Wal-Mart supply chain, a large American supplier, under all types of carbon policies. Tsai et al [33] made a sensitivity analysis of the carbon footprint of each node in the supply chain, thus optimizing the transportation path, achieving the goal of reducing emission and costs.…”

A mathematical/physics carbon emission reduction strategy for building supply chain network based on carbon tax policy

“…Under carbon taxes, carbon caps and carbon trading policies, Choudhary et al [20] built a forward and reverse logistics optimization model in supply chain and compared the pros and cons of three policies. Considering the impact of transportation on carbon emissions, Jin et al [21] established a supply chain network design and logistics optimization model and used sensitivity analysis on the impact of policy parameters on carbon emissions and logistics cost. Li et al [22] studied supply chain coordination problem, based on buy-back contract, and indicated that buy-back contract can achieve supply chain coordination.…”

Non-stationary stochastic inventory lot-sizing with emission and service level constraints in a carbon cap-and-trade system

“…The study of Plambeck (2012) suggests that tremendous changes in supply chain design and operation are required to avert climate change and explains through case studies that how carbon emissions can be reduced profitably in supply chains. Furthermore, a few studies integrate carbon emissions concerns in forward supply chain problems such as network design, production planning, product mix and supplier selection (Jin et al, 2014;Zhang and Xu, 2013;Chaabane et al, 2012;Shaw et al, 2012;Bai and Sarkis, 2010;Letmathe and Balakrishnan, 2005;Gong and Zhou, 2013) and others investigate its impact on supply chain structures and transportation mode selection (Cachon, 2011;Hoen et al, 2014). Some studies incorporate emission concerns in inventory lot-sizing decision whichnot only influences total system-wide cost,customer service levels and carbon emissions significantly, but also affects other decisions such as packaging, waste and location (Bonney and Jaber, 2011).…”
