In order to develop an extensive E-business Capability (EBC) model for better examining how e-business technology creates business value, this paper draws on the resource-based view of the firm, the IT process-oriented perspective, the net-enabled business innovation theory, and complementarity of resource, to review previous literature on EBC research and design an extensive framework. The research...
Green vendor selection is a key phase in green supply chain management. The system of indices for green vendor selection was put forward based on coal group Corporation Ltd. At the same time, the improved multi-level grey correlative method was constructed. The subjectivity which lies in ascertaining factors' weights in lower hierarchy was avoided in this method. So the evaluation result is more objective...
This paper considers the optimal production decision considering Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the supply chain. CSR is currently the most important measure to sustain continuous developments of companies by performing environment-friendliness and suitable social activity, and it is also essential for avoiding the latent risk. In this paper, we consider the evaluation of environmental conservation...
Several pressures have led to unprecedented corporate interest in "carbon footprinting" or life cycle assessment (LCA) of products. These pressures include historically high energy prices, climate change regulation, corporate sustainability efforts, and announcements from several major retailers that environmental data will be required from suppliers. This work discusses the particular challenges...
A bi-level programming model is proposed by using the methods of equilibrium theory and variational inequality. The upper level model accounts for that the environmental protection agency can promote environmental benefit at possibly lower incentive and supervision costs. The lower level model describes the competitive behavior of the decision-makers under different incentive and supervision strategies,...
The Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) takes environmental considerations into the account in supply chain management. Purchasing decisions have significant impact on the GSCM. However lack of effective and practical tools for supply chain managers to incorporate green into their daily operations hindered the practice of GSCM. The paper establishes an integrated supplier evaluation model considering...
This article presents an algorithm of implementation of a green supply chain based on a "Product Oriented Model" to lower negative externalities of the current supply chain on human health. It describes all logical activities implied and rules which define what it is necessary to make, in which order, in a purpose to identify existing weak points, to correct them within a new product design...
Due to environmental warming and consciousness, business globalization and shortened product life-cycle, numerous attentions have been paid to ecology protection, resource saving and effective operations management. Green product and production processes designs have significant influence on the environment and resource re-usage. The relevant EU regulations, such as WEEE, RoSH and EuP, have been encouraging...
This article, studying the lateral competition relations of cluster supply chain between enterprises from the perspective of population ecology theory, will apply population ecology theory to the research in the field of cluster supply chain system, which is of great significance to the exploration of the construction of basic theory of inter-enterprise cluster supply chain relationship under the...
People think of a manufacturing supply chain as a simple linear process of goods swiftly passing though an efficient dasialogistics pipelinepsila. They concentrate only on the portion of the pipe directly controlled by them or at best by their customers and suppliers. This is a myopic view. Supply chains are in fact complex interacting networks linking industries, economies and other organizations,...
It is well known that the most powerful actors in the supply chain are clients. If the market stops buying products because of a weak environmental performance, the rest of the supply chain is left with one option: address the problem and increase the perceived environmental performance of their products. Great deal of studies in many fields (psychology, sociology, environmental studies, marketing,...
The lecture aims to provide an insight into modern approaches to simulation-based analysis of supply chains. It gives an overview of using modeling and simulation (M&S) for facing different types of activities in supply chain management. In particular, different issues are considered, starting with new criticality such as: green logistics; supply chain resilience; sustainable logistics; logistics...
Rice is a key agricultural product of Thailand and plays a vital role in the Thai economy. Rice production, however, is dependent upon environmental factors. Environmental uncertainty therefore, can impact rice crop areas in term of influencing the rice yield, rice production and generating ripple effects along the overall rice supply chain. The aim of this research is to investigate the effects of...
In view of existing situation of Green Supply Chain (GSC) and the control issues of coordinate management with large scale systems for GSC, the control channels of large scale systems for coordinate development of GSC are discussed by applying the theory and method of large scale systems based on large system cybernetics. The theoretical basis and available means for the scientific design and effective...
For years, returned merchandise was generally viewed as a headache for both the seller and the buyer. Reverse logistics, the movement of materials back up the supply chain, is being recognized by many organizations and firms. While global environmental concerns have been the motivation for initiating the field of reverse logistics, firms have discovered that reverse logistics plays an important role...
Reverse logistics is a process whereby a manufacturer accepts products from consumers for possible remanufacturing, recycling, reuse or disposal. Recovery of used products is receiving increased attention due to growing environmental concerns. Many firms have realized that they lack the expertise, skills, and experience to perform certain functions. In order to ensure efficiency, many organizations...
Green vendor selection is a key phase in green supply chain management. The system of evaluation indices for vendor selection was put forward based on coal industry group. At the same time, the multi-level model of TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution), which is based on entropy weight, was constructed. The subjectivity which lies in ascertaining factorspsila weights...
