An Inventory Model of Two Vehicle Loadings With Unit Tax of Carbon Emission

Due to the growing greenhouse effect, issues about global warming are more important. Retailers must take carbon emission into the decision-making, in order to meet the social expectation and the government policy. The study of inventory management used to implement EOQ model, but most of studies just engaged into carbon-trade system or didn’t consider vehicle loadings. Studies include considering vehicle loadings only discussed one type of vehicle loading, but it can have many types of vehicle loadings in real world. In this thesis, we first put two types of vehicle loadings into build inventory models with unit tax of carbon emission. Next, we use an example to explain how we apply these models to observe inventory management operation. Finally, we use experiment data to provide recommendations for retailers as references.
