In spite of the increasing awareness apparent in the literature regarding the selection of sustainable suppliers, there are limitations in incorporating the sustainable performance in terms of traditional, environmental and social aspects in supplier selection and order allocation. Thus, an integrated fuzzy TOPSIS-multi objective optimization (MOO) approach was developed to integrate sustainable performance...
Increasing institutional and technical pressures have caused enterprises to expand their focus into their green supply chain management in response to numerous interrelated economic, environmental and social challenges such as commodity prices, energy prices, climate change, increased environmental pollution, demand for transparency, and consumer awareness. This research is intended to empirically...
In this paper, green product deletion implications for supply chain management are investigated. A strategic framework is introduced. The strategic and inter-organizational relationships associated with this decision help set the stage for future research on this critical, yet neglected managerial and industrial marketing issue.
This paper presents a multicriteria decision making approach for evaluating the performance of recoverable end-of-life products in the reverse supply chain. The multi-dimensional nature of the performance evaluation process is handled in the context of multicriteria analysis. Linguistic terms approximated by triangular fuzzy numbers are used to tackle the subjectiveness and imprecision of the performance...
In order to monitor the performance of a supply chain, decision-makers have the habit to use performance indicators. However, the multiplicity of indicators, quantitative ones or qualitative ones, pushes to merge them, to simplify diagnostic and facilitate comparisons. In this work, we propose a new aggregation operator, aiming to fix drawbacks of usual arithmetic means. An extension to fuzzy logic...
In recent years, due to the awareness of the green environment and the worsening of greenhouse effect, governments are paying much attention to this issue. Reducing carbon emission has become an objective of countries. As a result, the concept of carbon tax is to reduce the emission of CO2. By reducing the emission of CO2, we could achieve the coexistence of business and environment. Therefore, in...
This paper attempts to highlight the environmental factors which have more dominant effect in the selection of green suppliers in GSCM (Green Supply Chain Management). Other than the qualitative and quantitative factors, risk and opportunities also need to be included in the in the wide range of factors while selecting an appropriate green supplier. A frame work has been proposed for the selection...
Many firms across the world are discovering and benefiting from the ability to identify, recover, and reuse industrial by-products from other firms in traditionally unrelated industries. We examine how the formation of a by-product synergy between two firms, in different industries, and its environmental impact, are influenced by factors such as the by-product trading price, the fixed costs of synergy...
Reduction of Carbon-Dioxide (CO2) emission has been a global challenge in strategic supply-chain decision making for many companies. This paper focuses on the transportation sector of the supply chain since it is a significant contributor to CO2 emissions. To reduce CO2 emissions, previous studies have focused on mathematical models, government policies that affect CO2 emission and optimizing results...
Natural resource scarcity, climate change, and stakeholder requirements have prompted businesses to implement green initiatives involving resource conservation and clean production to deliver green organization performance for sustainable operations. This research is an application case of a global chemical manufacturer using a resource-based view (RBV) in a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) slacks-based...
Due to the increase in environmental concerns and the environmental regulations enacted by governments, green supply chain has received more attention. In this paper, a mixed-integer linear programming model is presented for supply chain planning under emission trading scheme in which carbon footprints is considered in transportation, storage and production. Moreover, since machine upgrade would influence...
In the current economic environment, designing an efficient distribution and transportation network is considered as a competitive advantage for every company, which has to answer at minimum costs in an effective way at the demand of its customers, in specific deadlines while assuring a good level of service. But with today's pressure upon companies to reduce the environmental impact of their logistics...
This research aims to develop a structural model to analyze the impact of Green Innovation towards the economic performance of food industrial firms implementing Green Innovation approach, in compliance with the national Green Industry initiative in Thailand. The conceptual framework is built on the study of relevant variables from existing theories and empirical research findings, focusing on the...
Assessing risks in supply chains is a key activity for ensuring the resilience to appearances of common or less predictable adverse events. Such assessments are traditionally carried out based on purely economic factors, leaving out other factors like sustainability, which also encompasses environmental and social dimensions. This paper show the feasibility of supporting the sustainability of supply...
This paper studies the pricing decision-making for recycling used home appliances when wholesale and retail prices for the green home appliances have already been determined by other methods. In consideration of the influences of the effective recycle behavior of the used home appliances to the whole supply chain, the paper proposes three game models about the recycle pricing for the used home appliances...
Adapting sustainability practices through extended enterprises has been deployed by academics and practitioners in order to gain not only long-term profits but also competitive advantages to embrace the global market. Profit organisations in developed countries have been comprehensively mature in adapting environmental and social sustainability in response to the consciousness of the society with...
This paper studies the equilibrium of a capital constrained green supply chain which is made of a manufacturer and a retailer under bank credit, a multiplicative demand function is established, and the effect of quantity and product green degree are introduced into the newsboy model, then the retailer's optimal order quantity and the manufacturer's optimal degree of green goods are obtained, and compare...
In this paper, a general multitier supply chain network equilibrium model with different product's environmental factors were developed. We set a multi-criteria decision making mechanism for various decision-makers (manufacturers, retailers, and consumers among the multi-level supply chain network) such as the maximization of each decision maker's profit, the minimization of carbon emission. For the...
In this paper, a new four-echelon electric vehicle manufacturing supply chain model is proposed among government, electric/gasoline vehicle manufacturer, retailer and ultimate vehicle customer to study subsidy policy. Based on the Stackelberg leader/follower strategy concept, we consider two situations in subsidizing electric vehicle which are given subsidy to electric vehicle customer or electric...
Supplier selection is an important decision for an enterprise to realize a sustainable production. However, almost all works, which concerned the environmental issues, focused on the supplier selection or evaluation methods, rather than the incentive mechanism urging the participants to improve their decisions (reduce the harm to the environment). In this paper, not only are the commercial factors...
