Optimal delivery strategies considering carbon emissions, time-dependent demands and demandsupply interactions
Delivery schedule with carbon emissions and demandsupply interactions is explored. We use mathematical programming methods to determine the optimal decisions. Emissions cost has little effect on decisions providing the carbon taxes are small. Price discount is not work for compensating infrequent delivery under inelastic demand. Model with demandsupply interactions has larger profit than that without interaction.
