“…McKinnon et al (2012) explained the element of government relations and the extent of cooperation with companies within the country, as well as foreign relations, which determine the extent of development and green growth. Now, however, safety, the environment, price and the high quality of services have become important elements in achieving green logistics, according to Kumar (2015) and Kannan et al (2013). Meanwhile, Wang et al…”

“…Recent studies such as that by Kannan, Khodaverdi, Olfat, Jafarian and Diabat (2013), have noted that the best green logistics provider is the one who offers a suitable price, high quality service, and environmental safety; together, all these factors provide for green products in a company. Chung, Chao and Lou (2016) explained that environmental regulations, finance sources and technological competence are the drivers of green logistics in companies, in terms of sustainability.…”

Abstract:Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine green logistics activities using a three-axis approach (financial-economic, social and environmental activities) and how these activities affect the sustainable monetary expansion indicators for the Sultanate of Oman.Design/methodology/approach: This study begins by defining elements of green logistics and how this concept has evolved in recent years. This concept is analyzed after surveying previous studies on green logistics. The independent variables of green logistics are threefold: financialeconomic, social and environmental, and are applied to clarify the impact on monetary expansion indicators (broad, narrow and reserve money), which are important indications for determining the economic condition of a country. This study used data published in the annual statistical Findings: Two variables within the environmental activities were found to be statistically significant at 1% and 5%: government support to the electricity sector (GSE) and subsidy on soft loans to the private housing sector (SSLPH). Only one variable (transport and communication (TC)) within the financial-economic activities was statistically significant at 1% and 5%, but all variables (community, social and personal (CSP) relations; cultural and religious affairs (CRA); and social security and welfare (SSW)) within the social activities were statistically significant at 1%, 5% and 10%. Finally, a multiple regression test was also performed on all the variables within the -388-Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management -https://doi.org/10.3926/jiem.2173 green logistics activities and all the monetary expansion indicators, and they were found to be statistically significant at 1% and 5%. The study recommends that attention should be given to financial-economic activities as a quantitative standard that contributes to developing green logistics. This would entail a diagnosis of the priorities and the existing economic and financial system that contributes to sustainable development of the country's economy. It would also be important to activate the industrial sectors by reducing operating costs and improving the quality of service provided to customers, an indicator of the social activities that conform green logistics, and to increase corporate awareness of the environmental variables and the behavior of consumers in order to establish a financial-economic system based on the concept of green logistics. Research limitations:The available data in the annual statistical report for Oman is limited, which limits the period and all the variables of the study. Originality/value:This study aims to analyze green logistics in the financial-economic, social and environmental areas, which reflect the greatest variations, especially as they are affected by changes in global markets, particularly with respect to oil prices, the main source of revenue for the Sultanate of Oman. This is of particular interest as green logistics is one of the modern concepts that are influencing the development...

With the global awareness of sustainability issues, sustainable development is being increasingly recognized by governments and industries. In addressing these issues, organizations worldwide have taken initiatives in adopting sustainability practices in their supply chain transferring it to sustainable supply chain management. In order to establish a responsible sustainable supply chain management, an effective way would be to make sure that the potential suppliers for procuring required components are precisely assessed and evaluated based on sustainable criteria. Therefore, this paper proposes a practical decision making approach to evaluate and select the most sustainable suppliers for an automotive spare part manufacturer licensed under a France-based automotive organization. Firstly, a requirement gathering approach, the audition check-list approach, is designed to facilitate the process of data gathering for supplier evaluation based on three pillars of sustainability. Next, the gathered data are processed using a proposed fuzzy inference system to remove impreciseness and vagueness in the gathered sustainability related data. The strength of this model falls into its applicability in data gathering phase which helps decision makers in manufacturing company to perform a fast audition of a typical supplier. Secondly, the final sustainable ranking of suppliers using the proposed fuzzy inference system provide a precise and less uncertain sustainability performance scoring which makes the developed approach a reliable system for making sustainable sourcing decisions. Comparison and sensitivity analysis are performed to evaluate the proficiency of the developed approach. Finally, theoretical and managerial implications together with conclusions of the study are presented.

“…Kuo et al (2010) developed a green supplier selection using a hybrid MCDM methodology, considering the criteria of cost, quality, delivery, service, environment, and corporate social responsibility. Kannan et al (2013) used an MCDM methodology and multi-objective programming approach to select suppliers for a green supply chain management. For their selection phase, they considered the following main criteria: cost, quality, delivery, technology capability, and environmental competency.…”

Embedding carbon impact assessment in multi-criteria supplier segmentation using ELECTRE TRI-rC

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the past decade, there has been an increasing interest in green supply chain management, which integrates environmental thinking into supply chain management. Assessing a supplier's potential for improvement is very important when an organization wants to achieve certain environmental targets concerning their supply base, taking into account the limited resources available. In this paper, incorporating environmental evaluation criteria into a comprehensive supplier segmentation approach called 'supplier potential matrix' (SPM), a green supplier segmentation is proposed to segment the suppliers. Two overarching dimensions-supplier's capabilities and supplier's willingness-are used to evaluate the supplier's green potential. The two dimensions are measured by multiple criteria. A sorting method called ELECTRE TRI-rC is used to solve the resulted multi-criteria decision-making problem. In order to make a more meaningful distinction, a simple method is also proposed to assess the suppliers with respect to the carbon footprint of the raw materials they supply. The results of this assessment are combined with the ones of the SPM, resulting in a more useful segmentation. The proposed model is applied to a sample containing the suppliers of a large international company.B Jafar Rezaei
