Optimal Decisions and Risk Assessment in Sustainable Supply Chains
Résumé
Due to environmental preoccupations and potential economic benefits, production firms are devoted to developing and improving the decisions within sustainable supply chains (SSC). Consequently, currently, many manufacturing managers are working hard to find optimal decisions and coordination in SSC, such as manufacturing and remanufacturing planning, acquisition quantities of worn products, adaptation of new maintenance strategies and technics, optimal manufacturing design, reconfiguration, etc. However, these decisions may account for economic or ecologic risks, e.g., profit losses or excessive carbon emissions, which have prompted many researchers to develop different models that estimate and analyze risk in supply chains. Thus, to bridge this gap in the literature, this proposed thematic issue aims to contribute to the existing literature by investigating new decisions in SSC and risk analysis under undesirable events.
