Abstract:
In the last few decades, worldwide atmosphere change has become out to
be one of the most significant environmental issues. Carbon emissions and air pollution
have motivated a need to design an effective and sustainable logistics network.
As a result, environmental policies are included in the transportation system to reconsider
and re-structure a greenway distribution network. This chapter addresses
a multi-objective optimization problem to design a solid logistics modelling in a
green framework. The objectives of the stated problem are as follows: (a) to minimize
the total financial costs along with carbon emissions cost, (b) to maximize
the customers’ satisfaction level simultaneously, and (c) to maximize the sustainable
effectiveness conveyances.Amulti-objective optimization procedure, namely, global
criterion method is introduced to extract a non-dominated solution to the proposed
problem. Two numerical examples test the formulatedmodel and solution procedure.
A comparative study among the proposed procedure and the other existing relevant
procedures is also presented. Concluding remarks are discussed at last.
