Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite researchers and industry professionals to contribute original manuscripts that enhance both the theoretical and practical understanding of logistic management through the lens of industrial engineering. While all areas of logistics are welcome, we particularly encourage studies that introduce innovative methodologies or practical models aimed at optimizing logistic systems with a strong emphasis on sustainability.
This Special Issue aims to explore the evolving landscape of sustainable logistics, focusing on integrating environmental, economic, and social considerations into modern supply chain practices. In response to growing global challenges, we seek to highlight transformative approaches and forward-thinking strategies that support the shift toward greener, more resilient, and collaborative logistic networks.
We welcome the submission of both original research articles and comprehensive review papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Modeling and optimization methods in sustainable logistic systems;
- Strategies for reducing carbon footprint and emissions in logistic systems;
- Collaborative logistic models and shared transportation frameworks;
- Reverse logistics: waste reduction and recycling approaches;
- The role of consumer behavior in shaping sustainable logistics.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this important discussion.
Dr. Farnaz Ghazi-Nezami
Guest Editor
