The book provides various research methods and ordering policies for inventory management in the sustainable environment in India. Sustainable inventory management is an area in which more studies from India are needed. In the age where global warming, environmental disasters, and increased public awareness about environmental issues encourage countries to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, this book includes a collection of research studies that elaborate various inventory models to determine optimal ordering policy and provide helpful suggestions for reduction in carbon emission while managing inventory. The book is beneficial for practitioners, educators, and researchers in India and other countries. It is also helpful for retailers/managers to improve business functions and make more accurate and realistic decisions.

Looks at social and environmental costs that should be considered in the framework of sustainable manufacturing Introduces new inventory models for decision-making, provides carbon emissions control solutions thru supply chain phase Presents modes that jointly considers externalities costs with logistics costs for eco-friendly environment
