Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The application of operations management models for optimizing sustainable logistics operations is attracting growing attention as it can improve efficiency while promoting environmental and socially responsible behaviors. With the emergence of international regulatory interventions, such as the Carbon Intensity Indicator of the International Maritime Organization, new challenges arise in the development of operations research models for the design, planning, and control of sustainable supply chain systems.  

This Special Issue invites papers on optimization and econometric models with potential application in logistics and supply chain management systems. We solicit papers that incorporate new ideas, results, innovative, modern methodologies, and algorithms. We also encourage the submission of papers that include applications to real-life problems and its implementation results.

Research papers, review articles, and short communications are invited.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Axioms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Literature and most textbooks around the world describe Silver-Meal in such a way that periods with zero demand make Silver-Meal suggest a higher frequency of order replenishments than necessary and therefore higher total costs than necessary. Silver-Meal, still the best-known technique, is therefore inferior to other lesser-known techniques when the time interval in the calculations presently is days and not months. The purpose of this article is to show that another mathematical formulation of Silver-Meal avoids this trouble. We also point to characteristics such as Silver-Meal, Least Unit Cost, Part-Period Balancing, and lot-sizing techniques that are available in many textbooks for operations and supply chain management. We illustrate the techniques with different examples of periods without demand, declining demand, and varying demand. We point out possible problems with the different techniques. Literature mostly does not consider periods of zero demand, which was not so important before. Lot-sizing methods must cope with the important performance indicator “Days of inventory”. Numerous practical situations with zero demand periods exist where a lot of sizing techniques help for efficient operations. It is necessary knowledge and a tool for students (future users, performers, and managers). “Lägsta periodkostnad” is a restored and reformulated Silver-Meal, with Silver-Meal’s characteristics already presented in literature, except those difficulties with zero demand periods disappear.
