“…However, implementing a GSC is no easy task, because it requires a flexible, agile, robust and sustainable design, with long-term results for its procedures, products and green logistics systems [2]. To facilitate the GSC implementation process, companies are integrating ICT into their SC [9,10].…”

Abstract:The aim of this study is to quantify the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) and its technological updates on the success of the green supply chain (GSC) implementation, as well as the benefits this affords. This research is applied to the Mexican maquiladora export industry. A model of structural equations is presented to know the importance of the integration of ICT, combined with the implementation of GSC and the generation of benefits with the use of ICT. The results indicate that there is a direct, positive effect (PE) and significant among the four latent variables (LTV) analyzed but the most noteworthy is the indirect effect that the variable updating the ICT has on the benefits of GSC, through the variable mediators' implementation of a GSC, since the direct effect of updating the ICT on the benefits of the implementation of GSC does not become significant. Whereby, it is recommended that the industry integrates and updates its ICT since, using the integrated and updated ICT and the implementation of a GSC, a series of economic, productive and environmental benefits will be created.

“…In the literature, the term GSCM is studied under different keywords such as green logistics, environmental SCM, environmental logistics, and cleaner SCM. GSCM includes a wide-range of topics from forward logistics to reverse logistics [2,16,20,39,[42][43][44]. In this regard, Rao and Holt [45] and Govindan et al [46] claimed that GSCM practices embody the entire supply chain processes that begins with the manufacturer and ends with the customer.…”

Environmentally Concerned Logistics Operations in Fuzzy Environment: A Literature Survey

et al. 2017

Abstract:Growing environmental awareness coupled with stricter governmental regulations has fueled the need for integrating sustainability into supply chain and logistics activities. Accordingly, recent studies in the literature have emphasized the significance of environmentally concerned logistics operations (ECLO). Research in the broad area of ECLO encompasses a wide range of topics including sustainable supply chain, green supply chain, closed-loop supply chain, low-carbon logistics, and waste management. In this paper, a comprehensive content analysis and area review is presented. Over 800 papers published between 1994 and 2017 in peer-reviewed journals, proceedings, and book chapters are utilized. These papers are analyzed in consecutive stages after being reviewed under a structural dimension process that addresses the fields of environmentally concerned logistics operations. Following the state-of-the-art review, a detailed analysis of ECLO research with a special emphasis on fuzzy applications is provided. The findings clearly indicate that the fuzzy multi-criteria decision making technique is a frequently used hybrid method, whereas fuzzy sets theory and other fuzzy hybrid techniques identify a gap in the related literature. This paper provides further critical analysis and other research suggestions in order to clarify these gaps and offer additional research perspectives. This information may provide extensive data that will enable future researchers to fill these gaps within this field.

“…Olugu et al [45] propose a set of 16 key performance measures and 72 metrics and test their relative importance by means of a survey of academics and practitioners. Diabat et al [3] apply a fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making method for assessing the importance of GSCM practices and performance in an automotive company. Finally, Wittstruck and Teuteberg [4] analyze critical success factors for SSCM in the automotive industry.…”

“…These two areas are at the forefront of developments when it comes to the adoption of SSCM practices [3,4]. Both industries are facing increased public pressure, see, for example, the public outcry at the inhuman working conditions at Foxconn in 2011, or the emissions level scandal in the more recent case of Volkswagen in 2015.…”

Sustainability Assessment in Automotive and Electronics Supply Chains—A Set of Indicators Defined in a Multi-Stakeholder Approach

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract:In automotive and electronics supply chains, sustainability assessment is gaining increasing importance. More stringent regulations and growing customer pressure are driving the change towards more environmentally, socially and economically responsible supply chains. Since this implies a rising use of resources for data collection, monitoring, exchange and assessment, the objective of this paper is to facilitate supply chain sustainability assessment. The present paper first provides a tailored set of 69 supply chain sustainability indicators for the European automotive and electronics industries. These were derived on the basis of a systematic literature review, together with 13 semi-structured interviews and five focus group workshops, all of which involved sustainability and industry experts. Second, the paper provides a case example of software-based supply chain sustainability data exchange. The extent to which sustainability information is currently exchanged in the two industries is also analyzed. The set of indicators is scientifically relevant since it considers all three dimensions of sustainability and is intended to allow for supply chain-wide sustainability assessment in two specific industries. It is also of high practical relevance since it was developed with and validated by industry experts, and also since it considers industrial and technical requirements for supply chain sustainability assessment in order to increase the efficiency of the work processes.
