Special issue ?Optimization in Sustainable Production and Logistic Systems? in Applied Science (IF: 2.47-ISSN 2076-3417) an Open Access Journal by MDPI.

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.
