In this paper the results of a research project that deals with the conceptual design and evaluation of cross-company logistics models are presented. A simulation and evaluation model was designed that supports the development of new logistics concepts. Therefore models for the calculation of emissions, of costs and of logistic competitiveness, have to be created and combined. Based on the sust...

A survey on cloud logistics service mode is proposed according to the new characteristics and new connotation of logistics services based on cloud computing from the view-point of management. In the logistics service under cloud computing environment, the logistics service mode is described from the different periods, different functions and different objects. Firstly, this paper analyzes the r...

ABSTRACT We present a new SOFIA/FORCAST mid-infrared survey of luminous protostars and crowded star-forming environments in Cygnus X, the nearest million-solar mass molecular cloud complex. derive bolometric luminosities for over 1000 sources region with these data combination extant Spitzer UKIDSS photometry, 63 protostar candidates identified by way high-quality data. By including FORCAST dat...

The use of renewable energy reduces environmental pollution and leads to achievement of sustainable development. The current study investigates the dynamic interrelationship between sustainable development, renewable and non-renewable energies and environment nexus by applying Bayesian vector autoregression (BVAR) and impulse response functions in Iran with an annual data frequency for the time...

Introduction European Commission has promoted actions and policies with the aim of reducing the negative impacts on traffic and environment caused by city logistics. One increasingly popular measure is the use of cargo bikes in city logistics due to their improved energy efficiency, lower emissions and lower traffic disturbance. The paper assess the impacts of electric cargo bikes, from a publi...

today, companies need to make use of appropriate patterns such as supply chain management system to gain and preserve a position in competitive world-wide market. supply chain is a large scaled network consists of suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, retailers and final customers which are in coordination with each other in order to transform products from raw materials into finished goods wit...

In recent years, the growth of logistics enterprises is slowing down. On the one hand, it is the result of overall adjustment of the economic structure, on the other hand, it also shows that it is difficult to obtain sustainable development inon the current economic situation for logistics enterprises, all logistics enterprises are faced with a problem that how to transform and upgrade. This ar...

Waste minimization and recycling are principles of the concept of sustainable development that is now globally introduced. Construction in the sense of manufacturing goods and construction and exploitation of buildings generates a significant amount of waste. Therefore, the developing of the concept of waste management and the reverse logistics is implemented to the construction industry. A sta...

Sustainable and green logistics concepts are a major trend in global supply chains. An important research question in this context is the topic of a possible interdependence between green logistics measures and overall volatility in supply chains, discussed in logistics literature e.g. as ‘bullwhip effect’. This research paper therefore tries to give an overview about existing knowledge regardi...

The purpose of this paper is to provide a method to identify customer (sustainability) demands, map these via price equivalents and use the equivalents for green logistics target costing. We use the methodology of Expert Survey and Choice Based Conjoint Analysis to study purchase decisions and determine customers’ price readiness for sustainable logistics services. The results are inter alia th...
