Developing integrated framework to measure performance of green supply chain management

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore green supply chain management (GSCM) performance measures and to develop a framework for evaluating the impact of GSCM implementation on organizational performance. Design/methodology/approach This research develops a performance measurement framework by integrating GSCM enabler with GSCM performance measures criteria. These criteria are selected from literature review and expert opinion. This study proposes a fuzzy balanced scorecard – fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution-based methodology to evaluate the overall organizational performance. The empirical case study of an Indian automobile organization is conducted. Further, the proposed framework is tested with three Indian Automobile organizations and their results are compared with the case organization. Findings The integrated methodology offers an effective way to measure and benchmark the impact of the proposed GSCM performance measurement framework. The empirical results show that the output of the proposed model is consistent. Thus, the study contributes to the advancement of knowledge toward GSCM and its management for sustainability. Research limitations/implications This study is limited to the automotive sector; hence the outcomes may not be comprehensively applicable across different sectors. The results cannot be applied to other sectors with other product and process specificities. Practical implications It helps the practitioners to measure and improve the effectiveness of GSCM implementation. Originality/value This study is the generalized performance measurement framework and can be used to measure the performance for any type of organizations to benchmark one organization with the other or the group of organizations.

A triple bottom line balanced set of key performance indicators to measure the sustainability performance of industrial supply chains

“…From an empirical perspective, authors explored several contexts of applications. Specific industries were investigated, among them automotive (Büyüksaatçi Kiriş et al, 2020), textile (Verdecho et al, 2012), plastic (Xu et al, 2016), as well as the manufacturing sector in general (Chia et al, 2009); as for geographical area, authors conducted studies in single countries in Europe -among them Italy and Portugal (Ferreira et al, 2016;Marconi et al, 2017), Asiaamong them India and Thailand (Malviya and Kant, 2019;Sopadang et al, 2017), and the Middle East (Tajbakhsh and Hassini, 2015); few contributions focused on a particular size, with examples on SMEs (Bhagwat and Sharma, 2007b;Faisal, 2012), Medium Enterprises (Erol et al, 2011) and Large Enterprises (Jalali Olugu and Wong, 2012).…”

Sustainable service supply chain management: from a systematic literature review to a conceptual framework for performance evaluation of service only supply chain

“…Butt and Ali (2020) identified that if the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is not managed properly it will cause severe threat from an environmental perspective. For implementing green practices in supply chain, “strategic perspective” has more value than the “operational perspective” and “social-cultural perspective” (Malviya and Kant, 2019).…”

The effect of investment in green technology in a two echelon supply chain under strict carbon-cap policy

“…Further, Das and Jharkharia (2019) made a comprehensive literature review on low carbon supply chain management. Again, Malviya and Kant (2020) developed an integrated framework to measure the performance of green supply chain.…”
