Transportation accounts for approximately a quarter of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and it is the only sector where emissions have been increasing over the past few decades. European Union (EU) has set carbon reduction targets for the transportation sector to 2050. This research examines the situation in Finland through the eastern section of a main highway. Traffic volumes on the examined highway (E18) were gathered from 2010 to 2019. Thereafter, an emissions inventory was synthesised with open data on traffic volumes, national vehicle fleet characteristics and corresponding emissions factors. The total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have risen slightly, while air pollutant emissions have decreased. This is primarily due to vehicle fleet renewal and decreased heavy road traffic. Also, a hypothetical scenario is built, which indicates that reaching the EU's decarbonisation goals in the study region via electrification requires the extent to cover all passenger vehicles and vans.

Supplier selection is an important and strategic decision of supply chain. Identifying and selecting the right suppliers to provide specialty chemicals, spares parts, oils and lubricant in an oil and gas industry impacts oilfield operations, supply chain performance and competitiveness of the firm. The supplier evaluation and selection is based on multiple quantitative and qualitative criteria. Thus, it is a multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) problem which involves importance ratings of suppliers with respect to criteria by group of decision makers (DMs) which are vague and imprecise. In this paper, a supplier's evaluation and selection based on nine criteria has been demonstrated using integrated fuzzy entropy (FEntropy) and fuzzy complex proportional assessment (FCOPRAS) methods in an Indian oil and gas company. Fuzzy entropy method is used for objective weight determination of criteria while FCOPRAS for suppliers ranking and selection.

Supply chain mechanisms that deal with price variation and shortage gaming needs special attention because both are considered as the main causes of the bullwhip effect. Shortage gaming, forces capacity-constrained supplier to curtail the supply to manage the demand of retailers from existing capacity. To avoid the risk of shortages, retailers manipulate their demand and generate the bullwhip effect. Moreover, price variation because of price-dependent demand and premium payment schemes also causes the bullwhip effect. Hence, in the present paper, an attempt has been made to investigate a two-echelon supply chain containing one supplier and N retailers under assumptions of the limited capacity constraint and price-dependent demand. Two mathematical models have been developed to decide extended capacity and premium payment scheme. It has been claimed that the presented models mitigate the bullwhip effect in the stated scenario. Numerical analysis has been presented along with the analysis of sensitive factors.

In recent times, academic findings showcased different phases of new product development (NPD) and explained that during this time, different factors influenced supply chain, in which cost plays the most important role as NPD phases used time and cost together. Moreover different findings in research suggested that if the supplier gets involved at initial stages of developing product it actually adds value in a complete extended enterprise. So basically this is a necessity for an enterprise to explore any opportunity that can arise after implementing the framework, which in literature is scarce. The secondary advantage which they can achieve by implementing this framework that industry can check the viability of concurrent engineering in integrated supply chain. Therefore this paper will help industries to explore the initial framework which integrate new product development and supply chain within their domain of either manufacturing or within the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector.

The objective of this study is to identify and analyse the sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) benefits realised due to adoption of SSCM enablers. A hybrid modified step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) - weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) approach has been adopted in this research work for the analysis. Modified SWARA is used to determine the relative importance of SSCM enablers while WASPAS method is used to prioritise the benefits. The findings of the study reveal that more attention should be on the adoption of environmental and regulatory enablers for effectiveness in SSCM implementation. It is also found that improved ability of 6R practices is a highly realised benefit due to the adoption of SSCM enablers. This research will help decision makers to effectively implement sustainability in their business organisation by developing a strategic action plan at the initial stage of SSCM implementation.
