A Green logistic model for both cost and emission minimization under inventory policies

This report aims to find an optimal supply chain network with 22 European distribution centers for two types of refrigerators produced in China. The supply chain will be optimized in such a way that transport costs and emission costs are minimized and inventories are perfectly located. First a model is created where only a truck is used, secondly the train will be introduced and after that the barge will be included. This is followed by the implementation of inventories and safety stock. It is analyzed at which place, distribution center or demand region, the safety stock should be located. In the final model the costs of emissions are incorporated to create a green supply chain.
