“…In other words, the integration of pressures and incentives of external stakeholders or the formalization of sustainable supplier management and sustainability risks are identified as future research perspectives [23]. Additionally, consistent with other reviews [16,19,22,25,26,37], their findings support the view that social aspects have been neglected by researchers in the SCM discipline [23].…”

“…In the following, the authors discuss the four suggested stages in conducting content analysis based on Mayring [60], i.e., material collection, descriptive analysis, category selection, and material evaluation, but extend the process with the suggestions of Seuring & Gold [61]. The proposed stages by Mayring [60] ensure validity as well as reliability and have been conducted successfully by other researchers of the field for similar objectives [12,17,23,61]. Additionally, in terms of validity and reliability, the content analysis research can be enhanced with the involvement of one more researcher during data search and analysis [62].…”

“…Notwithstanding, according to RQ1, the main interesting data is whether the paper focuses on developing countries or not and hence is automatically categorized to "research focus on developed countries or without relation to industry grade", once it fails. Suppliers as SSCM actors have been researched often by scholars (23). Unsurprisingly here, the proportion of developing countries being addressed is strikingly noticeable.…”

“…Differently, survey research consists of collecting data predominantly by questionnaire or by interviews on more than one case [64]. While reviews in the field are scant (3), conducting case studies (23), and surveys (19) are prominent. Case studies paid more attention to developing countries (14).…”

“…Brandenburg and Rebs [23] recently investigated 185 literature reviews and revealed that there is still a need to integrate pressures and incentives of external stakeholders into the debate about SSCM, as well as integrating sustainable supplier management or sustainable risk into SSCM models [23], following the approach of Seuring and Müller [17]. In other words, the integration of pressures and incentives of external stakeholders or the formalization of sustainable supplier management and sustainability risks are identified as future research perspectives [23].…”

Social Sustainable Supply Chain Management in the Textile and Apparel Industry—A Literature Review

et al. 2017

So far, a vast amount of studies on sustainability in supply chain management have been conducted by academics over the last decade. Nevertheless, socially related aspects are still neglected in the related discussion. The primary motivation of the present literature review has arisen from this shortcoming, thus the key purpose of this study is to enrich the discussion by providing a state-of-the-art, focusing exclusively on social issues in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) by considering the textile/apparel sector as the field of application. The authors conduct a literature review, including content analysis which covers 45 articles published in English peer-reviewed journals, and proposes a comprehensive map which integrates the latest findings on socially related practices in the textile/apparel industry with the dominant conceptualization in order to reveal potential research areas in the field. The results show an ongoing lack of investigation regarding the social dimension of the triple bottom line in SSCM. Findings indicate that a company's internal orientation is the main assisting factor in sustainable supply chain management practices. Further, supplier collaboration and assessment can be interpreted as an offer for suppliers deriving from stakeholders and a focal company's management of social risk. Nevertheless, suppliers do also face or even create huge barriers in improving their social performance. This calls for more empirical research and qualitative or quantitative survey methods, especially at the supplier level located in developing countries.

Enabling the Circular Economy transition: a sustainable lean manufacturing recipe for Industry 4.0

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Over the past 10 years, the concepts and objectives of circular economy have been increasingly detailed and become strategic issues of international, European, and national policies. However, the transition towards circular production models continues to be affected by several barriers and critical factors that make the transition difficult to achieve. The paper tries to design a relationship between sustainable production and lean production, highlighting the opportunity to invest in reverse‐logistics and how Industry 4.0 system represents a breeding ground for circular economy targets application. The aim of the current study is to examine the relationships among sustainable production, lean production, and Industry 4.0 in order to evidence the need to adopt a lean methodology and Industry 4.0 technologies in a sustainable development perspective for companies. Following a holistic vision, the authors summarize the production principles and formulas, which, although in parallel, lead to similar results and therefore represent the pillars of a competitive and sustainable business. In conclusion, exploring the circular economy principles and production chain model, challenges, opportunities, and future outlooks are formulated.

Multi Criteria Decision Anal

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Growing concerns about sustainability lead decision-makers to include in the supply chain network design, environmental and social impacts as well as economic objectives, which requires a balanced multi-criteria approach. In this paper, a multiobjective mixed integer model for a regional supply chain network of a fish processing industry is developed. The model and decision-making process is analysed using approximation and visualization of Pareto frontier in criteria space in the form of Interactive Decision Maps. For test purposes, the data of the network of tilapia fillet processing in West Paraná, Brazil, are used. A reasonable strategy is formulated, representing a compromise between different conflicting criteria in the supply chain profit, carbon dioxide emissions, number of suppliers, number of hired workers, costs and revenue.
