This book presents the latest developments in optimization and
optimal control models; exact, approximate and hybrid methods; and
their applications in lean and green supply chains. It examines
supply chain network design and modeling, closed loop supply
chains, and lean, green, resilient and agile or responsive
networks, and also discusses corporate social responsibility and
occupational health and safety. It particularly focuses on supply
chain management under uncertainty - employing stochastic or
nonlinear modeling, simulation based studies and optimization -
multi-criteria decision-making and applications of fuzzy set
theory, and covers various aspects of supply chain management such
as risk management, supplier selection or the design of automated
warehouses. Lastly, using experimental applications and practical
case studies, it shows the impact of lean and green applications on
vehicle/fleet management and operations management.
Industrial revolutions have impacted both, manufacturing and
service. From the steam engine to digital automated production, the
industrial revolutions have conduced significant changes in
operations and supply chain management (SCM) processes. Swift
changes in manufacturing and service systems have led to phenomenal
improvements in productivity. The fast-paced environment brings new
challenges and opportunities for the companies that are associated
with the adaptation to the new concepts such as Internet of Things
(IoT) and Cyber Physical Systems, artificial intelligence (AI),
robotics, cyber security, data analytics, block chain and cloud
technology. These emerging technologies facilitated and expedited
the birth of Logistics 4.0. Industrial Revolution 4.0 initiatives
in SCM has attracted stakeholders' attentions due to it is ability
to empower using a set of technologies together that helps to
execute more efficient production and distribution systems. This
initiative has been called Logistics 4.0 of the fourth Industrial
Revolution in SCM due to its high potential. Connecting entities,
machines, physical items and enterprise resources to each other by
using sensors, devices and the internet along the supply chains are
the main attributes of Logistics 4.0. IoT enables customers to make
more suitable and valuable decisions due to the data-driven
structure of the Industry 4.0 paradigm. Besides that, the system's
ability of gathering and analyzing information about the
environment at any given time and adapting itself to the rapid
changes add significant value to the SCM processes. In this
peer-reviewed book, experts from all over the world, in the field
present a conceptual framework for Logistics 4.0 and provide
examples for usage of Industry 4.0 tools in SCM. This book is a
work that will be beneficial for both practitioners and students
and academicians, as it covers the theoretical framework, on the
one hand, and includes examples of practice and real world.
Discusses smart and sustainable supply chain management concepts
that will be analyzed in the Industry 4.0 perspective Explores
green systems and smart applications under Industry 4.0 setting
Presents the latest technological developments, including
disruptive technologies and their impact on smart and sustainable
supply chains in accordance with the triple bottom-line approach
The economic, social, and environmental impact of the emerging
technologies on supply chain management sustainability and
smartness will be investigated thoroughly Each chapter will either
include a case study or a related problem/numerical example along
with the solution for easy reader comprehension
