Abstract
Introduction. Transportation represents a ratio
between 30 % and 70 % of total logistic costs, plus
a direct impact on client´s satisfaction. It is also a
considerable source of CO
2 emissions, thus affecting
the environment. Objective. Design and validate
a model for green transportation management,
increasing the process´ efficiency, reducing CO2
emissions and implementing environmentally friendly
green practices in this logistic process. materials
and methods. The Green transportation model
integrates a management component (objectives,
strategy and characterization), information and
communication technologies (ICT) and a mathematical
modeling of the routing problem that considers a
fleet of heterogeneous trucks, solved by the use of
a metaheuristic. Results. In the validation in a meat
company the solution to the routing problem was
achieved by means of a genetic algorithm, through
which the process´ efficiency increased up to a ratio
between 9,89 and 12, 86 %, reducing transportation
time in the routes in 4410 minutes a month if
compared to the routing rule the company had
before. With a green model, a reduction of 2791 kg of
CO
2, equivalent to 11,70 % of the current emissions
generated by transportation there, was achieved. This
way, we can have a quantitative assessment of the
contribution the green transportation management
model makes to this research area, to the efficiency of
the process and to environmentally friendly practices.
