Sustainable supply chain management involves integrating environmentally and financially viable practices into the complete supply chain lifecycle, from product design and development to material selection and sourcing, manufacturing, packaging, transportation, and distribution. A sustainable supply chain ensures balance between economic, social, and environmental performances – such as better assurance of human rights, ethical work practices, carbon footprint reduction, waste management, and resource efficiency.
Computational Intelligence Techniques for
Sustainable Supply Chain Management presents state-of-the-art computational intelligence techniques and applications for supply chain sustainability issues and logistic problems, filling the gap between general textbooks on sustainable supply chain management and more specialized literature dealing with methods for computational intelligence. This book focuses on addressing problems in advanced topics in the sustainable supply chain, and will appeal to practitioners, managers, researchers, academicians, students, and professionals interested in sustainable logistics, sustainable procurement, sustainable manufacturing, sustainable inventory and production management, sustainable scheduling, sustainable transportation, and sustainable network design.
