Environmental performance measurement for green supply chains

testIng a performanCe measurement framework for agrI-fooD supplY ChaIns

Measurement of entire supply chain performance is an important issue, because it allows for ‘tracking and tracing’ of efficacy and efficiency failures and leads to more informed decisionmaking with regards to chain organization. The ultimate aim of implementing a performance measurement system is to improve the performance of the organization. If supply chains can get their performance measurem...

Evolution management towards interoperable supply chains using performance measurement

Today, the enterprise must cooperate to survive in an increasingly competitive context. This co-operation is carried out by organisations in networks through the supply chain (SC). In order to do so, enterprises must be interoperable. In order to reach interoperability, the system must eradicate heterogeneity. This paper aims at presenting the problems of heterogeneity from two different points...

Environmental Impact of Supply Chains

Green Suppliers with Environmental Performance in the Supply Chain Perspective

This study examines the relationships found in supplier involvement in the course of operational life-cycle stages, environmentally-friendly practices, and environmental performances. Using sampling data gathered from 157 managers of automotive firms, obtained via a benchmarking questionnaire, three hypotheses are tested employing a Structural Equation Modeling analysis. The findings are genera...

“Green” Supply Chains: Using Information Integration for Sustainable Development

The current development of global economies and societies is regarded as being highly unsustainable. This paper analyses the current situation. Instead of simplistic metrics that take only snapshots of the life-cycle of a product into consideration, an approach is introduced that covers the whole supply chain. The core idea is that end-to-end transparency, specific data models, a process archit...
