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...
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...
The main objective of this research is to find out the economic impact of adopting green practices to the supply chains of manufacturing companies in Sri Lanka and the competitiveness gained through it. Greening the supply chain is looked at from three perspectives in this research namely, greening the inbound function, greening the production function and greening the outbound function where the...
The aim of this present paper is to evaluate network sustainability applying a quantitative model based on the integration of LCA data with discrete simulation. For this purpose, different scenarios have been defined by collecting several product-chain data as an attempt to develop a formalized approach to share information within networks. As preliminary step, the supply chain environmental impact...
The world is heading towards energy crisis and to tackle this burning global dilemma, collective efforts are highly welcomed to make the environment Green. Manufacturers around the globe are in search of stupendous strategies in production which can eliminate factors that are harmful to the environment. Increasing attention has been paid on Reverse Logistics over the last so many years in order to...
With the rapid development of the global economy, people neglected the protection of the ecological environment. The destruction of the environment has been a threat to human survival and development. In developing countries, this situation is becoming more serious. Because of the gradual depletion of natural resources and the environmental issues becoming increasingly important, the theory and practice...
With the green tourism concept as a guiding, the green tourism supply chain model based on the travel agencies as the core has been set up. The basic requirements of building the tourism green supply chain were proposed; and some guarantee measures for building the green tourism supply chain were discussed.
In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to analyze supply chain coordination consisted of a manufacturer and an outsourcer in green remanufacturing. On condition that allowing manufacturer delay in payment, we build an objective function of optimal profit of supply chain in different outsourcing degree. And further research several parameters such as time of delay-in-payment, cost of products...
Changing chemical regulation and mounting market pressure are impacting many of the items we use on a daily basis, such as electrical equipment. The implications of the changing regulatory programs worldwide impact a broad range of materials, including flame retardants. Emerging chemical regulations are focusing on the need for characterizing all chemical substances in use in terms of their environmental...
China is a power country in the textile production and trading. But comprehensive perspective on the development of China's textile industry, we find that it is not free from extensive growth mode, and is still an industry with more serious environmental pollution in our country. As to some problems which existed in the rapid development of China's textile industry, this paper put forward the basic...
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...
The management of green supply chain takes into account the environmental impacts of the processes of supply chain. Considering the great environmental awakenings at the planetary level and the discounted growth of the carriage of goods per mode within the European Union, the distribution and haulage companies must start to take measures to limit their impacts. The goal of this paper is to model the...
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,...
MBA Polymers is the leader in the world at recycling plastics from end-of-life durable goods such as electronics, large and small appliances, IT/office equipment and automobiles. MBA, which literally started in a garage in CA, invested over $50 million from 1993 to 2005 inventing, developing and demonstrating its state-of-the-art automated technology to recover plastics from extremely complex mixed...
This paper propose an innovative simulation model based on Web technologies devoted to analyze environmental impact of the whole supply chain. The authors developed a whole framework for collecting data from different users including good producers, logistics operators and retailers by a Web questionnaire; this service is automatically integrated with a simulator that evaluate the green aspects of...
