Summary: Chapter 1: Introduction -- Part 1: Systems Design, Innovation, and Technology -- Chapter 2: Green Design & Innovation -- Chapter 3: Technology and Engineering Management -- Chapter 4: Sustainable Value Chain Systems -- Chapter 5: Sustainability Standards and Performance Evaluation -- Chapter 6: Circular Economy and New Research Directions in Sustainability -- Part 2: Manufacturing, Logistics, and Transportation -- Chapter 7: Remanufacturing -- Chapter 8: Reverse Logistics -- Chapter 9: Closed-Loop Supply Chains -- Chapter 10: Sustainable Transportation -- Chapter 11: New Research Directions in Green Supply Chain Management -- Part 3: Sustainable Natural Resource Management -- Chapter 12: Renewable Energy -- Chapter 13: Sustainable Water Resource.-n Chapter 14: Biofuel Infrastructure -- Chapter 15: Natural Gas -- Chapter 16: New Research Direction in Sustainable Resource Management.Summary: This handbook includes three parts, corresponding to the following three domains of OR/MS research related to sustainability: (i) Systems Design, Innovation, and Technology, (ii) Manufacturing, Logistics, and Transportation, and (iii) Sustainable Natural Resource Management. The first part of the handbook (Chapters 2-6) will focus on the creation and development of sustainable products, services, value chains, and organizations from a systems perspective. Key areas to be covered include Green Design & Innovation, Technology and Engineering Management, Sustainable Value Chain Systems, Sustainability Standards and Performance Evaluation, and Circular Economy and New Research Directions in Sustainability. The second part of the handbook (Chapters 7-11) will concentrate on the major operational and logistic issues faced by today’s industries in pursuing sustainability. Key areas to be covered include Remanufacturing, Reverse Logistics, Closed-Loop Supply Chains, Sustainable Transportation, and New Research Directions in Green Supply Chain Management. The third part of the proposed handbook (Chapters 12-16) will center on major sustainability issues in managing engineering infrastructure and natural resources. Key areas to be covered include Renewable Energy, Sustainable Water Resource, Biofuel Infrastructure, Natural Gas, and New Research Direction in Sustainable Resource Management. The handbook aims to bridge the three main OR/MS research domains in sustainability: “Systems Design, Innovation, and Technology,” “Manufacturing, Logistics, and Transportation,” and “Sustainable Natural Resource Management.” Traditionally, these domains are treated separately in the OR/MS literature. By combining the three domains, the handbook will provide a more holistic treatment of MS/OR methodologies to address critical sustainability issues faced by today’s society. Unlike most existing handbooks which only focus on current OR/MS research in sustainability within a domain, this handbook will include a concluding chapter in each of the three parts to discuss and identify potential future research directions in each of the three main domains.PPN: PPN: 1753065305Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-BUM | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXBM
