Abstract

In the drive to decrease environmental damage, recycling goods and transporting them efficiently could make a useful contribution. We have developed a dynamic model of just-in-time logistics coordination to determine optimal transport combinations of recycled soils between construction project sites. The logistic elements included in this study cover a wide variety of aspects, such as a)volume of goods, b)quality of goods, c)multiple kinds of goods, d)timing of generation and e)requirement of goods. This model could be applied in various problems of logistics coordination for environmental conservation. 1 Intr
