What is Multi-Pick

The main aim of this chapter is to explore the carbon neutrality supply chain through pooling logistics strategies. Pooling logistics is one innovative supply chain management solution to improve its sustainability. The authors carried out a comparison-based simulation study of multi-pick, multi-drop, with hub and hybridization of hub and multi-drop pooling strategies effects on CO2 emissions of supply chains. Hence, the authors developed simulation models for all these strategies with ARENA software and used them in a case study. The main result is that all the pooling strategies outperform the non-pooled supply chains. Indeed, the four pooling scenarios showed much lower CO2 emissions than the non-pooled chain. In addition, the pooling hub with a multi-drop delivery strategy gives the best results.
