This book addresses critical issues in today's logistics operations
and supply chain management, with a special focus on
sustainability. In dedicated chapters the authors address aspects
concerning multimode logistics operations, reverse network
configuration, forward and reverse supply chain integration,
improvement of the production operations and management of the
recovery activities, as well as carbon footprint reduction in
transportation. Selected best practices from different countries
and industries are presented to aid in the implementation of
sustainable policies in private enterprises and at public-sector
institutions. The book offers a valuable resource for both
academics and practitioners who wish to deepen their expertise in
the field of logistics operations and management with regard to
sustainability issues. The book examines both qualitative and
qualitative aspects of sustainable supply chain and logistics
operations.
This book discusses the critical contemporary issues of
sustainability and integration of physical and information flow. It
explores the digitalization of logistics processes and the need for
a more integrated and a seamless cooperation in supply chain
management, which are dominant trends in business practice.
Moreover, it examines how the pressure for CO2 emission reductions
and more resource- efficient business models influences the
organization of logistics operations on both a local and global
scale, demonstrating that integrating physical and cyber systems is
necessary to achieve a more environmentally friendly, safe
logistics and supply chain operations. In the individual chapters,
the authors discuss the new qualitative and quantitative
theoretical methods and models and also analyze case studies from
business practice. This book provides valuable insights for
academics, Ph.D. students and practitioners wishing to deepen their
understanding of logistics operations and management.

This book provides a framework for integrating information
management in supply chains. Current trends in business practice
have made it necessary to explore the potential held by information
integration with regard to environmental aspects. Information flow
integration provides an opportunity to focus on the creation of a
more "green" supply chain. However, it is currently difficult to
identify the impact of information integration on greening a supply
chain in a wide range of practical applications. Accordingly, this
book focuses on the potential value of information integration
solutions in terms of greening supply chain management. It covers
the following major topics: Application of information flow
standards in the supply chain Information systems and technological
solutions for integrating information flows in supply chains The
Internet of Things and the industry 4.0 concept, with regard to the
integration of supply chains Modeling and simulation of logistics
processes Decision-making tools enabling the greening of supply
chains
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an important element in
creating competitive advantages for enterprises in different
sectors. The authors guide readers through the different cases
studies in order to present the benchmarking of international
standards and CSR initiatives, as well as CSR performance
evaluation practices. This book aims to identify current problems
that can arise during CSR implementation in manufacturing and
services companies. Moreover some best practice examples suitable
for the introduction of CSR in the small and medium size companies
will be described. The authors show how different stakeholders can
benefit from sustainable resource management and pro-social
behaviors. This book will be a valuable resource for both academics
and practitioners who want to deepen their knowledge of CSR. This
scientific monograph has been doubled blind reviewed.
The book focuses on efficiency analysis in enterprises and
describes a broader supply-chain context to support improved
sustainability. The research and its outcomes presented here
provide theoretical and empirical studies on efficiency analysis in
the supply chain, including operational, economic, environmental
and social aspects. This book sheds new light on the
efficiency-assessment framework for practitioners and includes
essential tips on how to improve the sustainability of
supply-chains operations.
The present customers' consumption models result in an increasing
number of used products that need to be collected and reused or
disposed. Remanufacturing is a favourable scenario in order to
recover the end-of-use products. It allows to capture substantial
part of the resources which were used in the primary production at
lower cost, providing economic, environmental and social benefits.
The book presents the methods, models, case studies for improvement
of sustainability in remanufacturing facilities. The focus is on
small- and medium-sized enterprises and their challenges to meet
resource-efficiency goal.

The aim of this book is to present quantitative and qualitative
aspects of logistics operations supporting recycling and reuse. In
individual chapters, the authors address various issues related to
reverse network configuration and the organization of collection,
transportation, warehousing and reprocessing activities. Moreover a
number of best practice examples from different countries and
industries are provided. This book will be a valuable resource for
both academics and practitioners who want to deepen their knowledge
of logistics operations and management for recycling and reuse.
The application of artificial intelligence methods and the
increasing digitalization of the processes in a supply chain
contribute the more seamless flow of materials and information. The
disturbances in global supply chain during pandemic put pressure on
companies to improve the existing operations. The Sustainable
Development Goals put pressure on local and global markets to
reduce carbon dioxide emissions and to implement a more
resource-efficient business model. Integration of physical and
cyber systems is necessary to achieve more environmentally
friendly, efficient logistics and supply chain operations. This
book presents the contemporary issues of sustainability and
integration of physical and information flow in supply chain. In
the individual chapters, the authors discuss new
qualitative and qualitative theoretic methods, models and present
case studies from business practice. This book might be a valuable
source of knowledge for the academics, PhD students and
practitioners to deepen their knowledge in the field of logistics
and SCM.

This book describes a variety of teaching and academic research
applications that effectively utilize FlexSim to: (1) provide
guidelines, methods and tools for simulation modeling and analysis
in a variety of educational settings and (2) address a variety of
important design and operational issues in industry. Simulation is
increasingly proving to be an important tool for supporting
decision-making and problem-solving processes in many disparate
domains, including the design, management and improvement of a wide
range of operations systems in manufacturing, logistics,
healthcare, etc. Achieving resource efficiency and minimizing
negative externalities from operations represent two of today's
greatest challenges; modern simulation methods can help to overcome
them. FlexSim is a prominent software package for developing
discrete-event, agent-based, continuous, and hybrid simulations.
