Highlights We jointly consider strategic network design and tactical inventory planning. We employ a multi-echelon periodic review inventory planning model. Higher optimal review periods reduce transportation costs and CO2 emissions. Higher optimal review periods increase holding and backorder costs. More DCs increase DC costs and CO2 and reduce retail store’s costs and CO2.

    Abstract We quantify the impact of jointly optimizing strategic network design and tactical inventory planning on the cost and CO2 emissions of multi-echelon logistics networks. The obtained insights indicate that longer optimized replenishment cycles reduce a node’s transportation cost and CO2 emissions but increase its inventory costs. Moreover, under a fixed replenishment cycle, a node’s service level increases when supplied by a satellite warehouse. Finally: (i) the costs of implementing optimal green network design decisions could be misleading if inventory planning is neglected, (ii) greening of supply chains could become expensive, (iii) current legislative CO2 ton prices hardly influence logistics networks.
