About this ebook

This textbook explores the environmental impact of business systems, particularly emissions resulting from logistics and intra-company operations. It highlights how transportation activities between suppliers, companies, and end users contribute to emissions, while intra-logistics within companies consume significant energy to move components and subassemblies.

By emphasizing efficient use of material handling equipment and machines, this book:

  • Provides actionable strategies to reduce energy consumption and minimize carbon emissions at power generation units.
  • Offers practical approaches to achieving sustainable operations in industries.
  • Uses case studies to reinforce key concepts, along with chapter summaries, keywords, and review questions.
  • Illustrates concepts clearly using tables and figures.

An engaging and practical resource for readers, this book would be ideal for students, researchers, and faculty in supply chain management, operations management, and industrial engineering at both graduate and research levels. It would also serve as a valuable resource for consultants and practitioners, providing insights into models and modeling systems to support better supply chain decisions.
