Abstract
This study proposes a low-carbon and economic supplier selection method by introducing the carbon tax and analyzes the carbon and economic impact of the carbon tax on the supply chain. First, a bill of materials including the GHG emissions and the procurement costs for each part is constructed using Asian international I/O tables, and the low-carbon and economic supplier selection with the carbon tax is formulated. Second, the suppliers for each part are selected by using integer programming with ε-constraint method to achieve both the GHG emissions and the procurement/carbon cost reduction. Finally, results of the supplier selection with the carbon tax are shown, and the effect of the carbon tax is discussed.
