Abstract :
Today, “Sustainable production” has attracted a great deal of interest by academic
researchers and practitioners due to the raising environmental and social concerns.
Sustainable EPQ model has been developed as a result of this interest and also necessity.
This paper develops a novel sustainable EPQ (SEPQ) model under partial backordering
consideration. The model converts all emission variations of inventory production lifecycle
into economic tangible factors. A solution procedure to determine the optimal solution of
the problem is developed for this SEPQ-PBO model. In order to demonstrate validity of the
proposed model and applicability of the developed solution procedure, numerical examples
accompanied by comprehensive sensitivity analysis of key parameters of the model are
provided.
