“…Employees have a crit ical role to play, as the interface between strategy set at the top and operational execution. Their skillset is a valuable resource for im plementing new initiatives within an organization (Figueira et al, 2012;Vlajic et al, 2012). As pointed out by Blackhurst et al (2011, p. 380), if employees are well educated and properly trained, they are equipped with the "necessary skills to know when it is appropriate to take action," when it is reasonable to stock inventory, or w hom to communicate with.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide groundwork for an emerging theory of supply chain robustness – which has been conceptualized as a dimension of supply chain resilience – through reviewing and synthesizing related yet disconnected studies. The paper develops a formal definition of supply chain robustness to build a framework that captures the dimensions, antecedents and moderators of the construct as discussed in the literature. Design/methodology/approach – The authors apply a systematic literature review approach. In order to reduce researcher bias, they involve a team of academics, librarians and managers. Findings – The paper first, provides a formal definition of supply chain robustness; second, builds a theoretical framework of supply chain robustness that augments both causal and descriptive knowledge; third,shows how findings in this review support practice; and fourth,reveals methodological insights on the use of journal rankings in reviews. Research limitations/implications – At this stage, managers may benefit from seeing these relationships as clues derived from the literature. The paper is fundamentally a call for researchers to conduct quantitative testing of such relationships to derive more reliable understanding and practical applications. Practical implications – Rather than presenting empirical findings, this paper reveals to managers that visibility, risk management orientation and reduced network complexity have been the main predictive antecedents of supply chain robustness (as discussed in the academic literature). This provides a potentially important signal as to where to invest resources. Originality/value – The study is the first to develop a formal definition of supply chain robustness and to establish a comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding the construct.

“…Dues et al () focused on the removal of waste in all operational processes like overproduction, unnecessary inventory and motion, delay, lead time, logistics, inappropriate processing, and defects. For example, in the case of the automobile industry, there are several innovation models to meet the green standards of the state and produce fuel‐efficient models such as e‐bikes (Figueira et al, ; Browne & Tibrewala, ; Piecyk & McKinnon, ). This is relevant to production technologies and approaches including the JIT (Golhar & Stamm, ; Nehete, Narkhede, & Mahajan, ).…”

The evolution of supply chain management, such as green supply chain and sustainable supply chain implementation in the industry, has been a great momentum over the past two decades, particularly from the mid of third industrial revolution to the current fourth industrial revolution. Given this interest, engineering and management scholars have examined various concepts and theoretical developments of green supply chain management (GSCM), especially during the past decade. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to critically review the extant literature on pressures, practices, and performance of GSCM. The paper surveyed more than 150 research articles published in high‐impact refereed academic journals. The review synthesis has been discussed through GSCM pressures (government rules and regulations, corporate social responsibility, investment recovery, and green market), GSCM practices (eco‐design, internal environmental management, waste management, green purchasing aspect, quality, and product recovery), and GSCM performance (financial, operational, and environmental). Bibliometric results were presented, including the types of sources, year‐wise publications, country‐wise output, journal‐wise output, and top contributors in GSCM research.

“…The fourSC paradigms i.e., lean, agile, resilient and green have extensively been researched independently, but recently, researchers have emphasized on integration of these four paradigms into one LARG paradigm [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. " However, the simultaneous integration of lean, agile, resilient, and green paradigms in SCM may help SC's to become more efficient, streamlined and sustainable" [11].…”

China has recently emerged as the technological and economic giant and an attractive place for investment for MCNs (Multi-National Companies). Many of the high ranked MNC's have shifted their production facilities to China due to low production cost.Finished products are transported through sea routes passing through Singapore and Sri Lanka, to different Middle Eastern, European and American countries. This major transition has lead to complete transformation of the global SC (Supply Chain);which resulted into extended transportation, distances and led time,thus affecting the four paradigms of SC i.e. lean, agile, resilient and green. Effective integration of all of these paradigms poses a significant challenge for the academia and industry related to SC.The common and critical success factors among these paradigms are reduction in transportation distances and most importantly lead time. Scenario planning technique is used in this study to analyze different trade routes originating from central China. CPEC (China Pakistan Economic Corridor) was identified as the most feasible and economical route owing to its reduced transportation distance and led time. CPEC route also provides us an opportunity to perform trade-offs between the four paradigms; focusing primarily on the critical success factors. These tradeoffs provide us a common ground which lead us to propose a new LARG (Lean Agile Resilient Green) framework. This framework was further validated with the help of results obtained from CPEC case study using scenario planning technique.
