“…A sustainability assessment that is based on the CLDs can be an alternative approach to the assessment methods that use a disaggregated list of sustainability indicators. Although the application of system dynamics and CLDs for the purposes of SA and CSA, including for manufacturing domain, has been reported and discussed [72,[134][135][136], this work emphasizes the benefits of the CLDs built upon the mental models of internal decision-makers.…”

This paper aims at answering the question of how to design a theoretically sound corporate sustainability assessment (CSA) method that can strengthen the ability of manufacturing companies to contribute to global sustainable development (SD). In our effort to answer this question, we conduct a case study to test a newly designed CSA method to develop assessment tools for each of four different case companies. The method combines criteria-based indicators development with qualitative system dynamics modeling based on mental models of decision-makers. This strategy ensures a holistic approach to what corporate sustainability and sustainable manufacturing are. The paper is intended to serve, first of all, as a practical guide to the development of CSA tools. The scientific value of the method is discussed in terms of how it assists in the development of a tool that provides the potential to overcome shortcomings of existing approaches to sustainability assessment and to embrace the complexity of the sustainability concept. From the case study results, we demonstrate the capability of the new method by showing how it satisfies scientific requirements to sustainability assessment and fulfills functions of CSA. We also show how it may overcome some of the observed limitations of existing CSA tools.Sustainability 2018, 10, 4121 2 of 40 nature of conducting sustainability assessments by the private sector can potentially lead to selective interpretation and reporting of sustainability performance outcomes, increasing the danger of greenwashing. There is also a necessity to extend the scope of such assessments beyond a company's internal performance indicators toward external data on sustainable development trends, risks, and opportunities [20]. Despite these recommendations, the success of the existing efforts is argued to be very limited [21] due to the fact that research on how to translate social and environmental boundaries into contextually-based measures of sustainable development is still in an embryonic stage (ibid). Thus, the translation of societal-level indicators to a corporate context remains one of the most significant challenges in the operationalization of SDGs in the business world. It has been argued that strategically mindful firms with a solid corporate philosophy that values environmentalism are more willing to practice corporate sustainability [22], which is driven by the corporate sustainability strategy [23].Research about corporate sustainability assessment is still dominated by neoclassical thinking that implies the use of the so-called paradigm of rational and objective knowledge [24]. Therefore, many of the currently prevailing assessment tools are quite technocratic and deterministic by nature, with characteristics of their techno-rational roots and a high level of engineering. Such tools are often considered to be 'truth machines', with the ability to deterministically predict the behaviour of systems in the future. The technocratic approach has resulted in significant limitations of CSA as ...

“…Many of the researches for the supply chain collaboration focused on information sharing, inventory forecasting and control [19], improvement of operational process between enterprises [20], and scenario analysis [6] et al In recent years, the concern has grown about the performance promotion through supply chain collaborative technological innovation [21,22]. The main benefits of technology innovation among the members in supply chain are better new product development, higher quality improvement and more cost reduction [23].…”

Despite the wideness of the literature on technological innovation, the diffusion of the supply chain collaborative technology innovation has not still received much attention. This paper is an attempt to answer the question that how the supply chain collaborative technological innovations emerge and diffuse. An agent-based model of collaborative supply chain technological innovation including the supplier agents, manufacture agents and customer agents is established in this paper, and the simulation experiments are conducted in terms of two kinds of the competitive technology innovation diffusion process under four scenarios. The results show that the supply chain collaborative supply chain technological innovation diffusion is different from the traditional technology innovation diffusion, and the relationship between suppliers and manufacturers has important influence on diffusion speed and efficiency.

“…The aim of this selective system is to reduce time, effort and cost in controlling inventories (Al Kattan and Bin Adi, 2008;Jin-Xiao, 2011;Millstein et al, 2014). From a practitioner point of view, in many cases, the classification of SKU is only based on one criterion, generally the relationship between cost and use (Lung, 2006;Cedillo-Campos and Sánchez, 2013). Thus, Flores and Whybark (1988) suggest making a two-step classification including multiple criteria and specific rules to classify SKU.…”
