This book presents the latest tools, techniques, and solutions that
decision makers use to overcome the challenges faced by their
sustainable supply chains. Given the ever increasing significance
of socio-economic and environmental factors, the management of
sustainable supply chains has become a complex and dynamic task.
Multiple and conflicting objectives of stakeholders including
suppliers, manufacturers, service providers, and retailers add to
the complexity of decisions that modern day managers of supply
chains face. With the unprecedented technological developments and
innovations at hand, sustainability can be maximized for all the
activities of a supply chain including: service concept and product
design, material sourcing and procurement, manufacturing processes,
delivery of the final product, and end-of-life management of the
product. Consequently, the sustainable supply chains' problems
require a systematic and integrated approach. Modeling and
simulation, in general, as well as system dynamics and agent-based
modeling, in particular, have the capabilities to deal with the
complexity of sustainable supply chain related problems. This book
will appeal to professionals and researchers in the field.
