Résumé
This study evaluates the cost and carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions of different supply chainconfigurations to determine when suppliers should move to a greener resource-sharing scheme.We build an analytical model based on a case study of a retailer that has developed a resourcesharinginitiative introducing collaborative consolidation centres (CCC) between its suppliersand its warehouses (WH). We compare the costs and carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions ofusing a pair of CCCs with direct delivery to twenty WHs. Our parameters include the distancesbetween suppliers, CCCs, and WHs, in addition to the volumes delivered. This model determineswhen there should be a switch to the CCC system. We also compare the actual CCC locationswith better alternatives, the centres of gravity of the regions. On a real cost basis, economicgains, but not environmental ones, occur, highlighting a need for alternative models for optimallocations, which would include economic and environmental constraints.
