An analytical model to investigate the economic and environmental benefits of a supply chain resource-sharing scheme based on collaborative consolidation centres
Abstract
This study evaluates the cost and carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions of different supply chain configurations 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 resource-sharing initiative introducing collaborative consolidation centres (CCC) between its suppliers and its warehouses (WH). We compare the costs and carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions of using a pair of CCCs with direct delivery to twenty WHs. Our parameters include the distances between suppliers, CCCs, and WHs, in addition to the volumes delivered. This model determines when there should be a switch to the CCC system. We also compare the actual CCC locations with better alternatives, the centres of gravity of the regions. On a real cost basis, economic gains, but not environmental ones, occur, highlighting a need for alternative models for optimal locations, which would include economic and environmental constraints.

Studying how Carrefour redesigned its supply chain showed that gains were not spectacular.
“We looked at this, studying how Carrefour had redesigned its supply chain, but gains were not spectacular (Antheaume, Thiel, de Corbière, Rowe, & Takeda, 2018;de Corbière, Takeda, Habib, Rowe, & Thiel, 2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
