Rework is currently a necessity for businesses and commercial organizations across the world. It is only beneficial in tackling climate change if the process emits less greenhouse gases than would otherwise be emitted. This study designs an optimal p...
The need for efficient electrical energy consumption has greatly expanded in the process industries. In this paper, efforts are made to recognize the electrical energy consumption in a two-echelon supply chain model with a stochastic lead-time demand...
In today’s digital age, industrial methods are shifting away from humans and toward machines. We choose automated systems for various jobs related to production systems, such as screening, manufacturing. A smart manufacturing system is one in w...
In recent times, in the literature of inventory management there exists a notorious interest in production-inventory models focused on imperfect production processes with a deterministic time horizon. Nevertheless, it is well-known that there is a hi...
The implementation of scrap recovery activities has been shown to improve the financial performance of many firms, and this kind of circular economy (CE) is particularly evident in industries with green manufacturing (GM). In this paper, we consider...
In the present paper, a sustainable supply chain model is investigated with a variable production rate and remanufacturing for the production of defective items under the effect of learning fuzzy theory, where the lower and upper variations in fuzzy...
The study constructed a supply chain inventory model for sellers and buyers that integrates payment-time-dependent demand, product defects, misclassification risks, and carbon emission tax considerations. The model was designed to optimize payment ti...
To protect our environment, current firms are committed to the circular economy and process maintenance strategies to reduce the waste of resources. In this way, they can also save costs and create an enterprise image and value. Therefore, this study...
Global emphasis on sustainable development is widespread, with industries playing a pivotal role in advancing global sustainability within the business and retail sectors. Consumer awareness of environmental concerns, such as pollution, prompts a foc...
