An EOQ Inventory Model with Greening Environment for Eco-Friendly Items under Carbon Emissions

Abstract

In this paper, we deal with an EOQ inventory model with greening environment for eco-friendly items under carbon emissions. Now a day a lot of carbon units are emitted from the different sources like factories, firms and some other production factories in the form of poisonous gases and these gases effect the neat and clean environment. Due to the carbon emissions, carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, and methane are more responsible for these issues, and some Indian cities like Delhi, Noida, and Ghaziabad are more affected currently on account of this reason. There are more problems related to the environment like air pollution, water pollution and the quality of the eco-friendly foods deteriorate as soon as. The Government tries to control such issues by including of some cost like pollution cost and carbon emission cost. For the development of this study, we conducted additional literature reviews to understand the inventory cost concern in this scenario, and the optimal lot size calculated using the maxima and minima concepts of calculus. The objective of this paper is to minimize the retailer’s total inventory cost when customers demand an eco-friendly item from the retailer without any environmental issues. Therefore, we minimized the inventory cost with respect to the order quantity for the eco-friendly foods, and with the help of the numerical example, the model is justified. The sensitivity observation has been presented and also got more results (i) the percentage defective affects the order quantity and retailer’s total cost (ii) if the carbon emissions are more from the transportation during deliveries of items then retailer will have to pay more carbon emission cost to the Govt authority(iii) The pollution cost of waste quality items affects the lot size and the retailer’s inventory cost during transaction of items and also included more results in the observation and managerial insights for the ordering policies as well as decision makers. The future scope of this scenario is also presented in the conclusion.
