Development of supply chain models of natural rubber products by considering quantity-discounts and environmental factors

Abstract

Abstract The inevitable increase in environmental pollution and transportation activities in order to meet human needs is a dilemma. The purpose of this study is to find novelty in the field of supply chain management that is obtained by classifying supply chain management references into certain attributes such as quantity discount, centralized strategy, decentralized strategy, multi items, multi echelons, multi objectives and environmental factors especially greenhouse gas emission. Another way to do this is to study the company to find out how the supply chain system is carried out by the company i.e. the company uses 2 echelons, single item, single objective, centralized strategy, and no quantity discount. From the references studied, the included environmental model reference which has 4 echelons attributes, multi objective, multi-item, and centralization can be taken as the basic model. It requires developer models with quantity discounts, multi stages, multi items, centralized strategy, multi objectives in order for the basic model that can approach the company’s system. The developed model is supply chain models in natural rubber products by considering quantity-discounts and environmental factors with quantity discounts, 3 echelons, centralized strategy, multi-items, and multi-objectives.
