Publications about the project
When designing logistics processes, the demand for an environmental sustainability is increasing. Often companies have a choice between different alternatives, which costs and environmental consequences may differ. This paper presents the results of a research project that aimed to develop a method for the ecological and cost-based selection of supply concepts.

When designing delivery concepts, companies often have a choice between different alternatives. The decision between these alternatives is no longer made only on their costs and logistical efficiency. Rather the ecological compatibility of the processes is more and more considered. This paper introduces ways to integrate environmental sustainability into decision-making.

The design of the delivery concept represents a decisive competitive factor for companies, since this significantly affects the throughput time and inventory levels. This paper explains how environmental issues can be quantified in addition to the conventional types of costs and presents a method for the selection and design of a delivery concept.
