  7. Abstract:
  8. Nowadays, due to various reasons awareness of environment preservation has increased throughout the supply chain. So supply chain owners revise their carbon footprint. Among different methods of reducing, operational decisions (e.g. ordering quantity or transportation method) has less cost and time for observing outcomes. Our main focus is on inventory models that taking account environment considerations especially carbon emissions. Through these models, vendor-managed inventory model for reducing total cost of chain gets more attention than past. The purpose of this work is to develop a two echelon supply chain with multi-item for replacing inventory. This model includes warehouse capacity and carbon emissions constraints. Carbon emissions is taking account from three source of ordering set up, transportation, and holding inventory. Railway and road way are two modes of transportation modeling and there is a vehicle capacity considered in roadway mode. For solving the mixed integer non-linear programing model two meta-heuristic algorithms are employed. First is a biogeography base optimization (BBO) algorithm with random neighborhood structure, hybrid operation and elitism mechanism. The other one is simulating annealing (SA) that has proven its efficiency and is benchmark for evaluating the new algorithm. At the end a numerical problem is solved and results are analyzed
