Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

During the last decades, integrating sustainability in production and logistic optimisation has become an important challenge due to legislation and society’s pressures. Models and methods for performance optimization in production and logistic systems have to consider the environmental and social aspects nearby economical goals. Integrated these aspects in design, development and resolution of quantitative optimisation models is often a critical issue. If the environmental aspects are more and present in supply chain optimisation models, the modelling of the social and human aspects is more limited.

This special issue aims to display recent works (theoretical breakthrough, industrial cases or review) on quantitative models and methods for production and logistic systems that integrates the different dimensions of sustainability. The topics of interests are related to (but not limited to) the integration of objectives, variables and/or constraints in optimisation models of supply chain, production or logistic with considerations of:

  • Energy efficiency, emission control and environmental impacts modelling in production and logistic optimisation models;
  • Closed loop supply chain, reverse logistic, recycling and disassembly planning;
  • Social impact, well-being at work and human interaction.

Overall Readiness of Logistics 4.0: A Comparative Study of Automotive, Manufacturing, and Electronics Industries in the West Bohemian Region (Czech Republic)

Industry 4.0 brings technologies of automation, the use of collaborative robots, and modern advanced warehousing interconnected with digitization of all steps of the production process, not excluding logistics. Internal logistics vary in different product types. Due to the specification of the Industry 4.0. concept, irregularities can be improved into fully autonomous processes. This trend also raises SMEs’ flexibility in terms of business processes and production organization. The transformation to Industry 4.0 is different from many perspectives (technological, organizational, financial). Therefore, companies need to know their processes’ state and determine their readiness for automation and digitization. After this, a consecutive strategy needs to be adjusted. This article presents the evaluation results of a comparison within individual business sectors (automotive, engineering, and electrical engineering fields). Several scientific methods were used for the successful realization of the objectives of the work (basic logical methods and empirical methods). The proposed methodology was verified in the form of an experiment in selected industrial enterprises. Internal logistics processes were observed inside real enterprises as a form of suitable preliminary research. Further potential cooperation between the companies and a team of experts specializing in Industry 4.0 is planned. Full article

The term “Industry 4.0” relates broadly to intelligent digitization, products, and value chain processes automation, an integration of real and virtual manufacturing worlds where products, factories, humans, and objects merge with embedded software in intelligent, distributed systems. The fourth industrial revolution currently encompasses many examples of application in several fields ranging from health to industry. However, despite this recent interest, the emergence of digitalization in the logistics industry has received little attention, especially in light of the fact that digitization is of increasing strategic importance for companies in a changing and highly competitive environment as it impacts their established processes, business models, and sector boundaries while also having an ecological impact. The new trade strategies put forward by the United Nations in their development plan revolve around sustainability, especially in the industrial sector. Technological advances related to the fourth industrial revolution represent the best approach to ensure sustainability, especially if these technologies are applied to the Logistics 4.0 paradigm within manufacturing companies. The focus of our research method, solely based on a bibliography study over a span of the last five years, is on the digitalization of manufacturing companies, while our selection of screened paper is based on a qualitative criterion further discussed in this paper. The purpose of this paper is to first shed light on the link between the last industrial revolution and its impact on the evolution of logistics and then to present the various optimization opportunities and risks, with a focus on efficiency performance.

This research focuses on an Order Acceptance Scheduling (OAS) problem on a single machine under time-of-use (TOU) tariffs and taxed carbon emissions periods with the objective to maximize total profit minus tardiness penalties and environmental costs. Due to the NP-hardness of the considered problem especially in presence of sequence-dependent setup-times, two fix-and-relax (FR) heuristics based on different time-indexed (TI) formulations are proposed. A metaheuristic based on the Dynamic Island Model (DIM) framework is also employed to tackle this optimization problem. These approached methods show promising results both in terms of solution quality and solving time compared to state-of-the-art exact solving approaches. Full article
