Abstract

This paper presents the linear demand patterns prevalent in the textile industry, providing insights into their implications on inventory dynamics. Leveraging this understanding, a green inventory model is formulated that balances the ecological impact of production and distribution processes with the traditional goals of cost-effectiveness and service level optimization. The model takes into account various elements, including the acquisition of manufacturing procedures, raw materials, transportation techniques, as well as the disposal process at end of its life cycle, to adopt a comprehensive and environmentally conscious approach to sustainability. The findings showcase the model’s capacity to diminish its environmental footprint while still upholding operational efficiency and fulfilling customer requirements. Sensitivity analyses were conducted for evaluating model’s resilience across different parameters and scenarios. For both phases, the model seeks to identify the ideal credit duration. To clarify the use of the model, numerical examples are provided.
