Abstract
Owing to the impacts of globalization of industry and shorter life cycle at this present, retailors not only do a better job on inventory management to improve customer satisfaction and reduce cost but diminish carbon dioxide emissions has begun a major problem. 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. In this study, we construct an EOQ model with carbon tax regulation to examine how retailors get an equilibrium order point with a situation of different kinds of carbon tax regulation which include unit tax, cap-and-tax or cumulated tax and different kinds of vehicle loading. In this thesis, we first put different ways of tax regulation and carrying capacity restriction into build inventory models. Next, we use a simulation example to explain how we apply these models to observe inventory management operation under various kind of regulations. Finally, we use experiment data to provide recommendations for retailors and government as references.
