Sustainable supply chain inventory model with carbon emissions and investment in preservation technology under inflation

What is it about?

This study proposes a sustainable supply chain inventory model that considers carbon emissions and investment in preservation technology under inflation. The model aims to minimize total costs, including inventory holding, ordering, and carbon emission costs, while maximizing profit. The impact of inflation on inventory decisions is also analyzed. Preservation technology investment is incorporated to reduce product deterioration and improve sustainability. The model provides insights for supply chain managers to make informed decisions about inventory management, carbon emission reduction, and preservation technology investment, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly supply chain. Optimal policies are derived.
