TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the literature on sustainable supply chains during the last decade; 2000-2010; and provide frameworks for sustainable supply chain management and performance measures, and also provide a case study to illustrate the experience of a utility supply chain in setting performance indicators.

TL;DR: This paper explores the role of Internet of Things (IoT) and its impact on supply chain management (SCM) through an extensive literature review and finds that most studies have focused on conceptualising the impact of IoT with limited analytical models and empirical studies.
Abstract: This paper explores the role of Internet of Things (IoT) and its impact on supply chain management (SCM) through an extensive literature review. Important aspects of IoT in SCM are covered including IoT definition, main IoT technology enablers and various SCM processes and applications. We offer several categorisation of the extant literature, such as based on methodology, industry sector and focus on a classification based on major supply chain processes. In addition, a bibliometric analysis of the literature is also presented. We find that most studies have focused on conceptualising the impact of IoT with limited analytical models and empirical studies. In addition, most studies have focused on the delivery supply chain process and the food and manufacturing supply chains. Areas of future SCM research that can support IoT implementation are also identified.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify and analyze the published definitions of green supply chain management (GSCM) and sustainable supply chain Management (SSCM) and two different sets of key characteristics for business sustainability (economic, environmental, social, stakeholder, volunteer, resilience, and long-term focuses) and SCM (i.e., flow, coordination, stake holder, relationship, value, efficiency, and performance focuses) were proposed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors take a focus on the historical development of the concept of circular economy and value retention options (ROs) for products and materials aiming for increased circularity and conclude that policymakers and businesses should focus their efforts on realization of the more desirable, shorter loop retention options, like remanufacturing, refurbishing and repurposing, yet with a view on feasibility and overall system effects.
Abstract: Over the last decade, the concept of the circular economy has regained attention, especially related to efforts to achieve a more sustainable society. The ‘revival’ of the circular economy has been accompanied by controversies and confusions across different actors in science and practice. With this article we attempt at contributing to advanced clarity in the field and providing a heuristic that is useful in practice. Initially, we take a focus on the historical development of the concept of circular economy and value retention options (ROs) for products and materials aiming for increased circularity. We propose to distinguish three phases in the evolution of the circular economy and argue that the concept – in its dominant framing – is not as new as frequently claimed. Having established this background knowledge, we give insights into ‘how far we are’ globally, with respect to the implementation of circularity, arguing that high levels of circularity have already been reached in different parts of the globe with regard to longer loop value retention options, such as energy recovery and recycling. Subsequently, we show that the confusion surrounding the circular economy is more far reaching. We summarize the divergent perspectives on retention options and unite the most common views a 10R typology. From our analyses, we conclude that policymakers and businesses should focus their efforts on realization of the more desirable, shorter loop retention options, like remanufacturing, refurbishing and repurposing – yet with a view on feasibility and overall system effects. Scholars, on the other hand, should assist the parties contributing to an increased circular economy in practice by taking up a more active role in attaining consensus in conceptualizing the circular economy.
