Integrated Production and Transportation Scheduling for Low-Carbon Supply Chains

This paper presents a model for integrated production and transportation scheduling in order to develop a low-carbon supply chain. A genetic algorithm and heuristic rules are applied to production scheduling problems, and beam search technique is used for transportation scheduling problems in consideration of both the tardiness of products and the amount of carbon dioxide emitted in manufacturing and transportation processes. A simulation system is developed to verify the effectiveness of the model.
