Sustainable Supply Chain System for Defective Products with Different Carbon Emission Strategies

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Humans are gradually altering the atmosphere and the globe's temperature by burning fossil fuels and discarding items due to error. This amplifies the conservatory cause and global warming by adding huge amounts of greenhouse gases to those already existing in the ambience. One of the strategies to reduce emissions and costs is to amend our firm to perform in an eco-friendly manner. The advent of various green solutions to be addressed in the supply chain (SC) is to blame for environmental issues and increased government pressure. In this article, the consequences of green technology and human error on the vendor-buyer complex SC system are examined using two carbon emission strategies: carbon taxes and limited total carbon emissions. It comprises the buyer inspecting each shipping lot for faulty items that may have come from the vendor's production process. The categorization of faulty and perfect items makes the inspection procedure difficult for the customer. To reduce overall cost, a mathematical model is designed in two alternative scenarios. This entails creating a complicated method to arrive at optimal answers that can be demonstrated both analytically and numerically. Sensitivity analysis is used to explore the implications of changing the core parameter values on the optimal solution. According to the findings, rising the carbon tax eases emissions, and the company has further alternatives to minimize carbon emissions generated by industries activity using green technology.
