Network design and operational modelling for construction green supply chain management


Pengfei Zhou Dong Chen and Qiuliang Wang




Based on studying organizational structure of Construction Green Supply Chain Management (CGSCM), a mathematical programming model of CGSCM was proposed. The model aimed to maximize the aggregate profits of normalized construction logistics, the reverse logistics and the environmental performance. Numerical experiments show that the proposed approach can improve the aggregate profit effectively. In addition, return ratio, subsidies from governmental organizations, and environmental performance were analyzed for CGSCM performance. Herein, the proper return, subsidy and control strategy could optimize construction green supply chain.
