2、 such as Green House gas emissions, have been introduced to supply chain management as an additional parameter to traditional key performance indicators such as cost, lead-time and on- time delivery. This paper analyses a case example from the food industry on how CO2 emissions are structured in a v
3、alue chain. The focus of the analysis covers food factory order-picking operations, transportation, warehousing and distribution aspects. The paper aims to demonstrate greening and CO2 saving potential areas of development for thermo-controlled food logistics. The results show the energy-saving pote

Greening decisions in supply chain design in the food industry are considered. KEYWORDS: Supply chain management; green logistics; food industry 1. Introduction The eco-effi
5、ciency of logistics refers to analysing and managing energy-efficiency and emissions such as carbon dioxide (Carter and Easton 2011; Coley, Howard, and Winter 2009) in addition to traditional key performance indicators such as logistics costs, delivery time and delivery reliability in supply chains.
6、 Eco-efficiency can be considered as a decision-making parameter when planning order picking, transportation, deliveries, terminal operations and the physical, functional and managerial structures of logistics centres. New parameters in investment decisions and the development of operational management add value to traditional industries such as the food industry (Carter and Rogers 2008; Bowersox, Closs, and Stank 2000). There have been many recent publications in the field of green logi
