Green Supply Chain Management

Green Supply Chain Management

Today one of the top priorities of an organization’s modern corporate strategy is to portray itself as socially responsible and environmentally sustainable. As a focal point of sustainability initiatives green supply chain management has emerged as a key strategy that can provide competitive advantages with significant parallel gains for company profitability. In designing a green supply chain the intent is the adoption of comprehensive and cross-business sustainability principles from the product conception stage to the end-of-life stage. In this context green initiatives relate to tangible and intangible corporate benefits. Sustainability reports from numerous companies reveal that greening their supply chains has helped reduce operating cost thus boosting effectiveness and efficiency while increasing sustainability of the business. Green Supply Chain Management provides a strategic overview of sustainable supply chain management shedding light on the theoretical background and key principles of the topic. Specifically this book covers various thematic areas including benefits and impact of green supply chain management; enablers and barriers on supply chain operations; inbound and outbound logistics considerations; and production packaging and reverse logistics under the notion of greening. The ultimate aim of this textbook is to highlight the challenges in the implementation of green supply chain management in modern companies and to provide a roadmap for decision-making in real-life cases. Combining chapter summaries and discussion questions this book provides an accessible and student-friendly introduction to green supply change management and will be of great interest to students scholars and practitioners in the fields of sustainable business and supply chain management.

Managing Global Supply Chains Contemporary Global Challenges in Supply Chain Management

Managing Global Supply Chains Contemporary Global Challenges in Supply Chain Management

What are the key factors affecting global supply chains today and how can we manage them? Starting from the concept that 'there is no point driving a Ferrari in a traffic jam' Ron Basu provides practical tools and techniques of good supply chain management to add value deliver cost reduction and improve customer satisfaction. This new edition specifically focuses on seven contemporary challenges that have affected global supply chain management. Recent disruptions to global supply chains created by COVID-19 and the Ukraine conflict have resulted in significant geographical shifts in supply and demand. High inflation and the cost of living crisis have in turn created problems for finely-tuned global supply chains. The economic and business environment has also become more demanding due in part to political pressures including nationalism and Brexit: for example supply chain pressures caused by Brexit have resulted in increased red tape. Other factors have had a gradual and positive effect such as climate change initiatives Industry 4. 0 and the digital revolution. The issues that affect the performance of global supply chains are sometimes interrelated but all of them really matter because businesses have become increasingly global. This book addresses these challenges and explores how to deal with them. In addition there are new and updated chapters on lean and agile supply chains e-business emerging markets sustainability and green issues global supply chains for services and event management retail management and major project management. Managing Global Supply Chains is a practical and highly readable text with real-life examples and excellent coverage. It is an ideal companion for post-experience business students learning professionals and anyone interested in supply chain management. | Managing Global Supply Chains Contemporary Global Challenges in Supply Chain Management

Winner of IIE Book of the Month December 2013The introduction of reverse supply chains has created many challenges in network design transportation selection of used products selection and evaluation of suppliers performance measurement marketing-related issues end-of-life (EOL) alternative selection remanufacturing disassembly and product acquisition management to name a few. Under the guidance of an expert editor and with contributions from pioneers in the field Reverse Supply Chains: Issues and Analysis addresses several important issues faced by strategic tactical and operation planners of reverse supply chains using efficient models in a variety of decision-making situations providing easy-to-use mathematical and/or simulation modeling-based solution methodologies for a majority of the issues. The book introduces the basic concepts of reverse logistics and systematically analyzes the literature by classifying more than 400 published references into five major types of product returns. It then identifies the basic activities and scope of reverse logistics examining its drivers and barriers as well as major issues and challenges. The chapters cover metrics for quantitatively comparing competing new-product designs for end-of-life disassembly on a reverse production line how to use the theory of constraints thinking processes to determine the core problems in reverse logistics and an integrated multi-criteria decision-making methodology using Taguchi loss functions AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and fuzzy programming. They explore issues associated with remanufacturing and green and resilient supply chain management and propose system modeling based on graph theory and network flows application to analyze material resource flows in the life cycle of a product. Reverse supply chains is a new and fast growing area of research and only a handful of books are on the market however t | Reverse Supply Chains Issues and Analysis
