About this book

This book presents scheduling with a medium- and short-term focus, which makes it possible to capitalize on fleeting market opportunities while simultaneously working to reconcile economic and environmental priorities. It introduces a new mixed-integer approach to hierarchical discrete-time and continuous-time scheduling, combining aspects of production and recycling, forward and reverse logistics as well as emissions trading for multi-stage supply chain networks. Problem-specific variants of relax-and-fix heuristics and genetic algorithms are also proposed. Given its scope, the book provides a range of practical tools and new perspectives for researchers and professionals in the field of supply chain management.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
Based on existing structures of sites and capacities, new mathematical models for hierarchical scheduling of operations in generic multi-stage networks are developed in the book Scheduling in Green Supply Chain Management: A Mixed-Integer Approach. This chapter introduces into the problem of scheduling in green supply chain management. It contains the motivation of the book, the framework of analysis, and an outline.

Chapter 2. Scheduling in Supply Chain Management
Abstract
Based on existing structures of sites and capacities, new mathematical models for hierarchical scheduling of operations in generic multi-stage networks are developed in the book Scheduling in Green Supply Chain Management: A Mixed-Integer Approach. In this chapter, general theories and approaches of scheduling in supply chain management are systematized while referring to related definitions and time representations.

Chapter 3. Green Supply Chain Management
Abstract
Based on existing structures of sites and capacities, new mathematical models for hierarchical scheduling of operations in generic multi-stage networks are developed in the book Scheduling in Green Supply Chain Management: A Mixed-Integer Approach. This chapter deals with the peculiarities of green supply chain management, especially its origins and drivers. This allows for identifying the main aspects in this field, which can be integrated into mathematical models of medium- and short-term optimization. Basics of reverse logistics and emission management are discussed.

Chapter 5. Discrete-Time Scheduling in Green Supply Chain Management
Abstract
Based on existing structures of sites and capacities, new mathematical models for hierarchical scheduling of operations in generic multi-stage networks are developed in the book Scheduling in Green Supply Chain Management: A Mixed-Integer Approach. This chapter proposes models for discrete-time master scheduling in green supply chain management, which comprises setup and shutdown decisions for making the existing network sites available for operations in time periods. Based on aggregated material flows, modeling includes end-of-use returns and the adjustment of periodic emission caps.

Chapter 6. Continuous-Time Scheduling in Green Supply Chain Management
Abstract
Based on existing structures of sites and capacities, new mathematical models for hierarchical scheduling of operations in generic multi-stage networks are developed in the book Scheduling in Green Supply Chain Management: A Mixed-Integer Approach. This chapter provides modularized formulations for continuous-time scheduling in green supply chain management. For non-perishables, three different types of recycling (internal, external, and combined recycling) are considered. Reverse logistics of perishables are affected by the product quality that is realized at the markets. Problem-tailored heuristic solution methods (relax-and-fix algorithms and genetic algorithms) are proposed.

Chapter 7. Summary and Conclusions
Abstract
Based on existing structures of sites and capacities, new mathematical models for hierarchical scheduling of operations in generic multi-stage networks are developed in the book Scheduling in Green Supply Chain Management: A Mixed-Integer Approach. This chapter summarizes the main results of the book and provides starting points for further research in green supply chain management.
