Abstract
The sharing economy is a new innovative business model for more flexible and sustainable logistics. This paper proposes a stochastic programming model for supply chain network design with truck sharing. The model considers demand uncertainty and optimizes allocation and operation of trucks. A case study with realistic data is presented by applying the model to a supply chain with different collaboration level. A sensitivity analysis on cost parameter for sharing service is also conducted to evaluate the impact on business sustainability. The results show that higher collaboration level successfully copes with demand uncertainty, and improves revenues in the entire supply chain.
