A methodology for assessing eco-efficiency in logistics networks

摘要: Recent literature on sustainable logistics networks points to two important questions: (i) How spot the preferred solution(s) balancing environmental and business concerns? (ii) improve understanding of trade-offs between these dimensions? We posit that a visual exploration efficient frontier profitability impacts are particularly suitable answer questions. The representation frontier, however, presents challenges. first is obtain good approximation for such without enumerating all extreme solutions. second frontier. propose two-phased heuristic handle problems. algorithm designed multi-objective linear problem with three objectives: minimize costs, cumulative energy demand waste in reverse network. illustrate our approach by designing complex recycling network Germany.
