Abstract

This paper considers supply chain design in green logistics. We formulate the choice of an environmentally conscious chain design as a multi-objective optimization (MOO) problem and approximate the Pareto front using the weighted sum and epsilon constraint scalarization methods as well as with two popular genetic algorithms, NSGA-II and SPEA2. We extend an existing case study of green supply chain design in the South Eastern Europe region by optimizing simultaneously costs, CO2 and fine dust (also known as PM - Particulate Matters) emissions. The results show that in the considered case the scalarization methods outperform genetic algorithms in finding efficient solutions and that the CO2 and PM emissions can be lowered by accepting a marginal increase of costs over their global minimum.
