The conjugation of environment and technology coerced the industry to combine these two instruments towards a sustainable and resilient future. Industry 5.0 is the most recent infrastructural revolution of industrial sector technology based on technologies like human–machine interaction, artificial intelligence, IoT, Big Data, collaborative robots, etc. This happened when the sector radically turned its global focus to sustainability and set many environmental goals to meet the requirements. In this research, the authors identified the synergy between Industry 5.0 and green supply chain management (GSCM) for achieving this target at RMG industries in Bangladesh. GSCM is well known for environmental concerns in traditional supply chain stages. For developing countries, the solution of a sustainable approach to counter waste and pollution-related issues is not adequate enough. A proper understanding of the digitalized industrial approach through Industry 5.0 will enable them to make efficient decisions regarding sustainable goal accomplishment and proper monitoring of the initiatives. This paper illustrates how I5.0 can integrate with GSCM. In this synergy, this study has identified 9 synergistic factors and analyzed the impact of each factor by using the interpretive structural modeling approach. By using level portioning, the factors are illustrated in 7 different levels, and MICMAC analysis is used to categorize them. This study offers a detailed exploration of the synergy between Industry 5.0 and GSCM, offering a practical framework that can guide industry stakeholders in implementing advanced technologies to achieve sustainable development in the RMG sector.

The adoption of Heavy Battery Electric Vehicles (H-BEVs) is increasing, and logistics service providers (LSPs) are beginning to transition their fleets. This transition puts new types of challenges on the freight systems, while also likely making them more vulnerable to disruptions. This study fills a gap in the literature by examining the challenges LSPs encounter and the mitigation strategies they use to overcome them during their transition to electrified fleets. The purpose of this study is to explore disruptions and mitigation strategies in electrified freight systems. An interview study was performed with actors in one Nordic country represented by six LSPs operating electric trucks, together with a focus group of 12 participants from 11 organizations representing LSPs, energy companies, platform providers, a transport buyer, a truck manufacturer, and a municipality. Several disruptions that LSPs must handle, many directly or indirectly related to charging, including technical and financial issues. The identified mitigation strategies include, for example, developing information support systems and having extra resources in place. This study provides insights into the research on electrification of freight transport by identifying and describing characteristics of disruptions and mitigation strategies and lays a foundation for understanding aspects that must be considered when implementing and upscaling the use of H-BEVs. Taking an actor perspective, this paper adopts and combines disruption and mitigation frameworks, both of which are lacking in current electrification literature. The results can function as guidelines for actors pursuing H-BEVs regarding what risks need to be handled, and suggestions on how they can be handled, thus constituting an important step in obtaining zero-emission freight systems.

With the significant increase of service providing companies and the option of in home installation or maintenance, the importance of finding the optimal planning for the workers has risen accordingly. Global warming, high fuel prices, and important labor costs call for the need to minimize travel and working time and reduce the impact on the environment. In this paper, the CVRP is solved to establish a planning of interventions, being installation and maintenance, at customers of a value-added reseller (VAR). The goal is to minimize total travel time, maximize labor time per day, combine jobs that need two workers in the same van, and to reduce emissions. In contrast to previous research on routing optimization, limits are set to both the working time and the sum of the working time plus the travel time. In addition, it centralizes installations that need two workers on the same route, further minimizing the use of vans. As a result, scheduling becomes faster, more accurate, and scalable, leading to a significant reduction in overall asset and labor cost, and to less

emission, thus cleaner logistics. This intervention planning is compared with the random planning and planning proposed by an expert planner. Applying our algorithm on various configurations of 16 to 82 customers led – in a time span of seconds – to a relative gain of 3% for the smallest application and up to 38.6% for the largest one, compared to the time-consuming planning made by the expert human planner. Moreover, to visit 82 customers 3 less vehicles are needed (21 instead of 24), in comparison to the human made schedule.

E-commerce has drastically changed consumers’ purchase behaviour towards impulsive ordering of products and retailers’ leniency in return policies. This tendency has contributed to escalating product returns and higher retailer costs due to reverse logistics. This study explores how product uncertainties, stemming from perceived product quality and promotional discounts in customer’s online purchases, affect the financial performance of the reverse supply chain for an online retailer in a developing-country context. A quantitative approach is employed to survey 590 online retail managers and customers from different backgrounds using non-probability convenience sampling. The findings show that heightened product uncertainty drives impulsive buying when combined with liberal return policies that further increase the handling costs of returns. The study’s outcome underscores the need for retailers to balance customer satisfaction with efficient reverse logistics, emphasizing strategies such as improved product descriptions and careful management of discounts to mitigate impulsive shopping and reduce returns. This study provides insights into the dynamics of customers’ purchases and firm’s return policies to the stakeholders striving to manage reverse supply chain operations and improve financial performance in the highly competitive digital marketplace.

Coal, as an indispensable energy source for global power generation, necessitates significant attention to its transportation operations. In practical applications, coal blending has been shown to effectively reduce sulfur emissions from power plants. Addressing this challenge, this study proposes a coal transportation scheduling model that integrates considerations of port stockyard capacity, operational conflicts among stockpile groups, and blending requirements to meet power generation demands. The model aims to coordinate coal reclaiming, stacking, and transportation operations while minimizing coal storage costs and sulfur treatment costs, ensuring the uninterrupted fulfillment of power generation tasks. Finally, the proposed scheduling model is validated through case analysis and computational experiments based on real-world scenarios of a thermal power plant, providing practical insights for the operation of coal-fired power plants.

While striving for sustainable operations, carriers, shipping companies, freight forwarders, and container terminal operators aim to ensure efficiency and competitive operations. Slow steaming, particularly for ocean-going cargo vessels, is a popular method to save fuel, leading to more cost-effective operations and reduced emissions. We analyze the application domains of slow steaming, floating car data (FCD) as well as dynamic driving and the methods enabling it. Notably, the paper identifies dynamic driving for straddle carriers (SCs) as a research gap and discusses its application. We present a feasibility study and insights from a project that develops a digital twin for the EUROGATE Container Terminal Hamburg (CTH), Germany. Data from the project is used to specifically examining the application of dynamic driving for SCs. The results show an estimated reduction in fuel consumption of up to 21%. Furthermore, we estimate 3% lower emissions for the container terminal.

This study introduces a stochastic optimization model designed for enhancing coal procurement and logistics management at port-based coal-fired power plants. Addressing the dual pressures of economic efficiency and environmental sustainability, this model incorporates the complexities of maritime transportation uncertainties, varying demand, and stringent carbon emission controls. Through this framework, we effectively align procurement strategies with inventory management to optimize operations under dynamic conditions. The model’s distinctiveness lies in its integration of real-time maritime variables and adaptive responses to environmental policies, setting a new standard for green logistics in the energy sector. Key results demonstrate the effectiveness of mixed coal procurement strategies across different demand scenarios, highlighting significant savings in carbon emissions and operational costs. Our findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders aiming to achieve sustainable development goals in the energy sector.

Through consolidation, city hubs offer potential solutions to sustainability challenges in urban freight systems. However, the viability of such hubs has been questioned, as the willingness to pay of businesses receiving goods has been an issue. This study employs a system dynamics approach to explore this willingness to pay in consolidation initiatives by quantifying the benefits receivers can gain, thus bridging a gap in the literature. The system dynamics method allows a holistic view of the system. Therefore, a quantitative model is built to explore the behaviour of the businesses receiving goods and their interests in value-added services. Data from a case study in Stockholm is used as quantitative input. Moreover, fourteen businesses in the area are interviewed to understand their needs and to create different scenarios. The analysis of the interviews reveals that the level of interest in value-added services varies depending on the type of business. Four types of receivers are identified: large offices, small offices, large shops, and small shops. The model results show that the main benefits for the receivers are time savings in handling deliveries, leading to cost savings and the use of the city hub for storage. The results of this research can be used by decision-makers in the private and public sectors to understand the dynamics of city hubs and to formulate effective policies for the success of these hubs. The originality of this study lies in the combination of the system dynamic approach and the receivers’ perspective, which is relatively underexplored. The results can thus provide valuable insights in achieving viable consolidation solutions.

Supply chain sustainability and resilience have gained the interest of academic and industrial communities, and increasingly represent top priorities in organizations’ agendas. This article aims to measure the key dimensions driving sustainability and resilience in supply chains and their interrelationships. We propose a new composite indicator for their joint assessment through the application of a robust composite indicator development framework, and the integration of secondary data with primary data gathered from a survey in the Italian industry. Results show no evidence of a trade-off between supply chain sustainability and resilience and instead highlight a potentially important cross-fertilization from sustainability to resilience through supply chain collaboration when these transcend the internal boundaries of the firm. This is a significant contribution to the existing debate in the literature on the relationship between sustainability and resilience in the supply chain, thanks to the development of an integrative composite indicator and a quantitative approach to the explanation of this relationship. By fostering a deeper understanding of supply chain sustainability and resilience, this investigation informs decision-makers on potential avenues to concurrently build and sustain their firms’ supply chain sustainability and resilience.

While direct logistics optimization is a common practice, reverse logistics management is frequently neglected. This study explores how reverse logistics configurations affect the environmental sustainability of global supply chains in the fashion industry. The paper addresses the gap in the literature regarding carbon footprint of hybrid configurations for return flows. A case study is conducted in an Italian luxury fashion company with global operations, and we use supply chain simulation to assess sustainability-focused network design alternatives. The findings reveal that decentralizing specific operations significantly reduces carbon footprint without compromising service levels or lead time, both critical aspects in such segment. This research emphasizes the importance of considering reverse logistics in the overall sustainability strategy of supply chains, offering practical insights for businesses seeking to balance environmental impact with operational efficiency in the fashion industry.
