Green Facility Location - A Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
“Green logistics” is a popular catchword, not only in public and among companies, but also in academia. In this paper we apply the concept of green logistics to the facility location problem: Optimizing the locations of facilities in the general pmedian model. This is based on CO2 emissions generated through transportation rather than traditional cost measures, such as physical transportation cost. We examine the results of a real world case study and compare those with each other. Especially implications for real world application are critically discussed.

In recent years, the green supply chain has become a key strategy for the competitiveness of organizations, where the reverse and closed-loop supply chains are one way to achieve it. In the current competitive environment, the closed-loop supply chain helps reduce costs by re-using recyclables and reducing environmental pollution by reducing waste and extending product life. In this study, a cl...
متن کاملInverse and Reverse 2-facility Location Problems with Equality Measures on a Network
In this paper we consider the inverse and reverse network facility location problems with considering the equity on servers. The inverse facility location with equality measure deals with modifying the weights of vertices with minimum cost, such that the difference between the maximum and minimum weights of clients allocated to the given facilities is minimized. On the other hand, the reverse c...
