This paper aims at presenting supply chain metrics and proposing a fuzzy-based performance assessment method for the plastic green supply chain. Paper investigates the waste reduction policy and state of affairs of the supply chain to know the overall performance of the cost and environment sustainable plastic supply chain. As lean tools and techniques does apply in many of the supply chains, we suggest a set of metrics to evaluate the performance of supply chain. Furthermore, the performance of cost and environment sustainable plastic supply chain is evaluated in this paper using a fuzzy model. In case of uncertainty, fuzzy would be a suitable model method to implement. Also, it allows for modeling of a number of performance metrics across various supply chain components and processes. Sustainable or sustainable policy could be accomplished by making use of a distinct weight calculation for different individual supply chain scenarios. Research presents metrics for lean tools based green supply chain management. The proposed method is able to measure the performance of green supply chain management by means of a fuzzy approach and also by applying sustainable policies. The metrics that are selected for measuring the performance of lean tools based green supply chain management is particularly applicable for light weight, high volume and single use plastic products. By determining performance for every individual metric the current performance could be categorized and also improve it accordingly. This study offers a performance evaluation technique for the managers of supply chain to evaluate the outcome of lean tools and various sustainable or sustainable policies.
By developing a competitive advantage, environmentally and socially friendly supply chain practices enable businesses to achieve economic sustainability. Although issues related to extended producer responsibility (EPR) also put additional pressure on businesses to develop green policies, plastic recycling is a legal requirement and can bring benefits to the environment, social, health and safety. In order to promote a better understanding of the importance of supply chain management performance categories and metrics across its supply chain, we developed a methodological framework for small and micro scale plastic processors. Performance metrics play an important role in setting plastic green supply chain management framework, evaluating performance, and identifying future course of action.The proposed framework for the plastic green supply chain (PGSCMF) outlines the taxonomy and implementation of green supply chain practices in real business case studies. The framework will act as a flexible reference tool for managers in the plastics companies of small and micro scale to bring greater continuity to undertake the necessary improvements at a very local and specific level.
