A system dynamics model for green logistics in a supply chain of multiple suppliers, retailers and markets

This paper aims at developing a system dynamics (SD) model to analyse the effect of green transportation and logistics on the total transportation cost of forward supply chain (FSC) and the total amount of CO2 emissions. The proposed green forward supply chain (GFSC) model considers multi-suppliers, retailers and markets, two types of suppliers (quick response and slow response), a single manufacturer, three retailers, and three markets.
