The role of customers in green supply chain management needs to be identified and recognized as an important research area. This paper is an attempt to explore the involvement aspect of customers towards greening of the supply chain (SC). An empirical research approach has been used to collect primary data to rank different variables for effective customer involvement in green concept implement...

Despite widespread attention on the significance of green supply chain integration (GSCI), there is still limited research how GSCI can improve firms’ innovation performance. From perspective natural resource-based view and dynamic capability theory, based theoretical logic “resource-capability-performance”, this study aims to explore relationship between performance its intrinsic mechanism. In...

from the beginning of emerging concept of supply chain, a variety of strategies or paradigms have been developed for supply chain organizations .the most important paradigms are four main paradigms, namely the lean, agile, resilience and green. each of these paradigms has advantages and disadvantages. using the benefits of this paradigms and the plan to eliminate the disadvantages of each parad...

From green supply chain perspective of the internet of things, actualization of the IoT into the complex system for green inventory management will link the real world with the digital world seamlessly. Modeling the complex systems in green supply chain can be hard in a computational utilization and inventory management of relationships exists. Two of the problems of IoT-enabled system are the ...

In a recent paper in this journal, Yang et al. [Feng Yang, Dexiang Wu,Liang Liang, Gongbing Bi & Desheng Dash Wu (2009), supply chainDEA:production possibility set and performance evaluation model] definedtwo types of supply chain production possibility set which were proved to beequivalent to each other. They also proposed a new model for evaluatingsupply chains. There are, however, some short...

The competitive market and declined economy have increased the relevant importance of making supply chain network efficient. This has created many motivations to reduce the cost of services, and simultaneously, to increase the quality of them. The network as a tri-echelon one consists of Suppliers, Warehouses or Distribution Centers (DCs), and Retailer nodes. To bring the problem closer to real...
