Green issues in industrial and supply chain business processes have been receiving exponentially growing attention over the past decade. Consumers are demanding green products and services more and more and on the other side of the marketplace businesses and industries are now much more responsive to green issues. Furthermore businesses and industrial systems are in present conditions positively reacting to green issues. From an academic perspective there are considerable numbers of research on this topic in various disciplines. Thus for the green strategies with respect to the sustainable development this paper delves into the literature of the significance of sustainability concept with an emphasis on the ecological dimension and then brings a range of essential perspectives along with the applied framework of environmental reporting of industrial and supply chain business processes. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

The cross-entropy method for combinatorial optimization problems of seaport logistics terminal
(Taylor and Francis, 2010) Turkay Yildiz; Funda A. Yercan; Yercan, Funda; Yildiz, Turkay
Studies on seaport operations emphasize the fact that the numbers of resources utilized at seaport terminals add a multitude of complexities to dynamic optimization problems. In such dynamic environments there has been a need for solving each complex operational problem to increase service efficiency and to improve seaport competitiveness. This paper states the key problems of seaport logistics and proposes an innovative cross-entropy (CE) algorithm for solving the complex problems of combinatorial seaport logistics. Computational results exhibit that the CE algorithm is an efficient convenient and applicable stochastic method for solving the optimization problems of seaport logistics operations. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.
