• Abstract:
  This study analyzes an inventory control problem of a company in stochastic demand environment under carbon emissions ; regulations. In particular, a continuous review inventory model with multiple suppliers is investigated under carbon taxing and carbon ; trading regulations. We analyze and compare the optimal (Q;R) policies with order splitting under two ordering policies: sequential ; ordering and sequential delivery. The effects of regulation parameters and demand variability on costs and carbon emissions are ; analyzed under each policy. Furthermore, single sourcing, sequential ordering, and sequential delivery will be compared in terms of ; costs and carbon emissions.
