This paper proposes a new model of simultaneous optimization of three-level logistics decisions, for logistics authorities, logistics operators, and logistics users, for regional logistics network with environmental impact consideration. The proposed model addresses the interaction among the three logistics players in a complete competitive logistics service market with CO2 emission charges. We...

There has been extensive academic research on the optimisation of reverse logistics (RL) and closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) network design. However, existing literature is lacking in several features practical relevance, simultaneous consideration dynamic characteristics, including multi-period setting, inventory factors, environmental footprints, scalability application. This shortcoming prim...

The mutual interaction of marketing and logistics has been widely described in academic articles. For almost a century, many scholars and practitioners have recognised the close relationship between marketing and logistics activities in a marketing channel. Business philosophies such as JIT, QR and ECR implicitly emphasise this relationship as well. However, there is often a gap between marketi...

With the increase in environmental awareness, competitions and government policies, implementation of green supply chain management activities to sustain production and conserve resources is becoming more necessary for different organizations. However, it is difficult to successfully implement green supply chain (GSC) activities because of the risks involved. These risks alongside their resourc...

This paper investigates the joint optimization problem on logistics infrastructure investment and CO2 emission taxes for a sustainable city network design by goal programming approach where cost recovery, service level reduction goals are involved. The above multi-objective capacity is formulated as bi-level model. Given priority structure of goals, total deviations from predetermined minimized...

With the increased complexity and uncertainty in business operations, adaptive and collaborative business processes and exception management (EM) are gaining attention. In the logistics industry now, logistics exceptions are managed using human resources together with the traditional workflow technology-based supply-chain management or other logistics tools. The traditional approach models and ...
