Outline of Final Research Achievements

Sustainability issues, such as greenhouse gas emissions, have become serious problems facing the international community.　This research proposes a green supply chain model in consideration of carbon dioxide emissions in both production processes and transportation processes in supply chains by modifying the existing dynamic supply chain model. This research also proposes a method to improve production and transportation schedules in order to minimize the carbon dioxide emissions and maximize the profit of manufacturing company and satisfaction of customer. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through some computational experiments by using a developed prototype of green supply chain simulation system.
