Environmental consciousness has become critical in the design and operations management. In recent years, the sort of issues that have come to light and drawn the attention of managers has extended staggeringly. Sustainable development is a significant component of growing interest for managers who have to address with social and environmental issues related to the own company as well as their ...

This paper aims to propose a conceptual model to analyse the influence of lean, resilient and green supply chain management practices on supply chain sustainability. A deductive research approach was used to develop a conceptual model from the literature review. The SCM practices focused in this study are: waste elimination, Total Quality Management, just-in-time; supply chain risk management, ...

In recent years, sustainability concept has been introduced to many fields including management, technology, and supply chain (SC). The most accepted definition for Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) would be one where all consumer products are created, used, and recycled or disposed of in the Closed loop Method. Closed Loop Supply Chain Management (CLSCM) refers to all forward Logistic...

In this study a supply chain network design model has been developed considering both forward and reverse flows through the supply chain. Total Cost, environmental factors such as CO2 emission, and social factors such as employment and fairness in providing job opportunities are considered in three separate objective functions. The model seeks to optimize the facility location proble...

Remanufacturing is an industrial process that makes used products reusable. Remanufacturing is a way to establish a closed-loop supply chain. One of the important aspects in both reverse logistics and remanufacturing is pricing of returned and remanufactured products (called cores) that it has been noticed in this paper. In addition, in this paper the researchers have tried to present a mathema...

managing the supply chain plays an important role in creating competitive advantages for companies. adequate information flow in supply chain is one of the most important issues in scm. therefore, using certain information systems can have a significant role in managing and integrating data and information within the supply chain. pharmaceutical supply chain is more complex than many other supp...

This work investigates how bargaining power affects negotiations between manufacturers and reverse logistics providers in reverse supply chains under government intervention using a novel three-stage reverse supply chain model for two scenarios, a reverse logistics provider alliance and no reverse logistics provider alliance. Utilizing the asymmetric Nash bargaining game, this work seeks equili...

In this work, the design of supply chains with reverse flows is studied in a multiobjective context. A MILP model is developed for the optimization of the supply chain structures where both environmental impacts and costs are considered. An optimal Pareto front is obtained that plays an important role in evaluating the best locations of all the entities in the supply chain while accounting for ...

In today’s competitive world, the need to supply chain management (SCM) is more than ever. Since the purpose of logistic problems is minimizing the costs of organization to create favorable time and place for the products, SCM seek to create competitive advantage for their organizations and increase their productivity. This paper proposes a new multi-objective model for integrated forward / rev...
