Tradeoffs in Green Logistics: Insights Learned from Quantitative Models for Transportation Systems
Global warming and climate change have put pressure on governments, organizations, and companies to redesign their activities to reduce their impact on the environment, particularly through the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Different frameworks, regulations, and operational policies have been developed and implemented in order to contribute to these efforts including bunker levy, speed limits on maritime vessels, fuel content regulations, and alternative fuels, in addition to some more commercial frameworks such as the cap‐and‐trade framework.
To account for these regulations, policies, and frameworks, scholars have developed different optimization models for logistics systems, particularly for air, road, and maritime transportation, that consider, in addition to the traditional economic aspects, environmental ones. This session will review and discuss some of these works, highlight their main insights and findings, and relate them to the global context towards reducing global warming and climate change. It will also contextualize these works considering the initiatives and efforts that have been taking place globally to limit GHG emissions, especially CO2, but also other types of emissions such as SOx.
Keywords: green logistics, regulations and policies, transportation, GHG emissions, tradeoffs.

He has also act as research engineer on several contracts with industry on performance improvement and quality. Yves is currently strongly involved in the ENLIGHT alliance with 8 other universities in Europe. |
Performance evaluation for supply chains using enterprise models.
The performance evaluation is a crutial point for supply chain control. However, there are more than 61 methods around the world to define and implement performance evaluation system more or less dedicated to supply chains. All these methods have not the same principles, same steps, same actors and this is necessary to understand their differences and complementarities in order to combine them and to have the most relevant method to implement. Most of the methods are based on enterprise models, either process model, information system models or decision models.
The objective of this keynote is to present the principles for supply chain performance measurement, to present a state of the art of existing methods and the recommendations to implement the best combination of methods.

| Jan Fransoo is Professor of Operations and Logistics Management in the School of Economics and Management at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. He further holds visiting appointments at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US. Fransoo’s current research studies operations and decision making in retail supply chains and transport operations. He is method-agnostic and conducts model-based, econometric, experimental, and qualitative work. He has published more than 130 papers across a wide variety of journals, including all Operations Management journals on the FT50 list. He serves as associate editor of Operations Research and of Production and Operations Management, and currently guest-edits two special issues of the Journal of Operations Management. Fransoo frequently collaborates in research and in consulting with major corporations, tech startups, national and regional governments, and intergovernmental organizations. He has held senior leadership positions at Eindhoven University of Technology and Kuehne Logistics University. |
Logistics, Operations and Digitization of the World’s Largest Retail Channel
50 million families operate as many nanostores across the developing world, to serve billions of people with their daily needs. These include hundreds of thousands of hanouts in Morocco. The enormous fragmentation of this channel provides substantial challenges for efficient and effective logistics operations. However, rapid digitization gives many opportunities to enhance the competitiveness of the channel, while also reducing cost and improving the service level. In this keynote, I will characterize this retail channel based on our extensive empirical work across Latin America and Africa, I will illustrate this both with a number of mathematical models that provide insight into the fundamental tradeoffs, and with a series of empirical studies that deploy the most advanced econometric techniques. Our research demonstrates that digitization can economies of scale that are similar to what modern organized retail chains can reach.

Mathematical modeling and analysis of complex systems in biology and ecology
Through examples of models relating to the study of marine populations, cells and High-parasitic systems, we show the complementary nature of modeling at different levels: individuals, groups and/or populations. We also analyze the effects of physiological structures on the appearance of delay in this type of systems and the influence of delay on their dynamics.
