“…A study conducted by the World Resource Institute to show that one half to three quarters of the annual material input to these societies was returned to the environment as waste within a year (Matthews and Hutter, 2000). Like this, the poultry industry also is generating million tonnes of waste every year based on number of bird transacted (Shamsuddoha, 2011c(Shamsuddoha, , 2011dShamsuddoha et al, 2011aShamsuddoha et al, , 2011b. Bangladesh poultry industry is also generating the same having similar kind of production process.…”

“…In Bangladesh, social and economic issues are equally significant due to its huge population pressures, high percentage of poverty, limited land resources, food crises and drastic climate changes (Shamsuddoha, 2011a(Shamsuddoha, , 2011b(Shamsuddoha, , 2011c(Shamsuddoha, , 2011d. Poultry farmers are struggling to operate their livestock businesses profitability and productivity with minimum environmental impacts.…”

“…Increasing production level is generating more and more wastes, which can be used as raw material for further by-products generation. This is why, poultry rearing along with reverse supply chain and environment concepts can play a noteworthy role in keeping the environment intact, empowering rural people, fulfilling nutritional needs, providing food and protein security (Shamsuddoha, 2011b). Specifically, it can help to maintain standard quality of water, air and soil by reducing 251 Sustainable poultry production process dumping of the poultry waste on to vacant land or riverside/water.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to review the literature and to develop a sustainable model for the poultry industry in an attempt to mitigate existing socio-economic problems. Sustainability along with positive socio-economic changes has gained prominence in recent years in academia and business in Bangladesh. This paper aimed at helping the poultry industry is used to develop a sustainable production process to mitigate socio-economical problems. Bangladesh poultry has yet to achieve sustainability in her extended forward and reverse supply chain. The design science method under a quantitative paradigm has been used in this study to develop a sustainable supply chain model for the case industry. A simulation model has been developed using the SIMUL8 software package to model the real poultry case. Finally, key performance indicators (KPIs) will be briefly discussed to illustrate the positive effects of developing a sustainable production process model. Design/methodology/approach -This study covers a literature review on environmental sustainability, reverse supply chain and Bangladesh poultry industry. This study adopted positivist ontology, empirical epistemology and quantitative methodology based on case studies of poultry industry. The design science methodology and case study method was chosen for this study. Design science is concerned with "devising artefacts to attain goals" (Simon, 1969). Design science is based on "build and evaluate" an artefact of a model (March and Smith, 1995). Here, an artefact means design and develop soft or hard objects that can meet specific purposes and goals (Venable, 2006a(Venable, , 2006b. Case studies are observed descriptions of particular instance of an occurrence (Yin, 1994). Both primary and secondary information were used in this study. Findings -The findings of this study were mainly focused on developing a sustainable poultry model along with Islamic consensus. There is plethora research work conducted by the previous researcher. Such study will fill the research gap that also can guide to eliminate socio-economic problems of the society. Model output can easily determine the immediate impact over society, stakeholders and entrepreneurs. Optimality can be observed in the model environment so that real-life experiment does not require which is also expensive and time consuming. Research limitations/implications -The study only includes a sustainable poultry model with showing overall impact to mitigate the socio-economic problems in Bangladesh. This research can be extended more elaborately than this. Future research could be expanded based on different aspect of supply chain, Islamic finances and socio-economic problems. Practical implications -Poultry waste management could gain more social, economic and environmental benefit through implementing the model practically within the existing farm. Social implications -This paper provides a guidelines to create more employments and social benefits through sustainable poultry supply chain. Moreover, proper waste ...

“…Among poultry species, the chicken population is dominant over others, at almost 90%, followed by ducks (8%) and a small number of quail, pigeons and geese (Das et al, [9]). In a condition, where the majority of the people are landless, under privileged, malnourished, uneducated and poor, poultry rearing can play a very important role for income generation, poverty eradication, women empowerment, nutrition, food security and the country's economical and development procedure (Shamsuddoha et al [26]). Above literature represents, that poultry sector has tremendous opportunities to engage unemployed people, meet up protein deficiencies, make various sustainable by-products from its wastes, possibility of earning money, empowering and eliminating poverty from the country.…”

“…These practices are not always non-profit oriented. In the poultry industry, there are few opportunities for product retrieval, return or reconditioning in the usual sense, as most chicken products are perishable (Shamsuddoha,[30]). However, there are immense opportunities to reuse or recycle poultry wastage.…”

Sustainability is the most effective concept to improve socioeconomic condition, including environment. Constructive socioeconomic changes are getting priority in recent years among academia and business sector in Bangladesh. Bangladesh poultry sub-sector has long supply chains having associated with various stakeholders. In this paper, a case poultry farm was taken to examine a production process that links with socioeconomic benefits. Design science method under the quantitative paradigm was chosen to develop a model for the case industry. A Simulation model was developed using simul8 software to construct the real poultry operation. The objectives of this paper are to construct a sustainable model for a case poultry industry along with socioeconomic issues. Later, simulated model output will examine it through various performance indicators (KPIs) to find out the impacts on socioeconomic benefits. Numbers of KPIs have been briefly discussed in light of the research problem to illustrate positive effects of sustainable production.
