In the last two decades, pressure from various stakeholders has forced many companies to establish environmental and social improvements both in their company and their supply chains. The growing number of journal publications and conference proceedings confirms this change also in academia. The aim of this paper is to analyse and review scientific literature on sustainable supplier management (SSM) with a focus on formal models supporting decision-making in sustainable supplier selection, monitoring and development. For this purpose, a framework on SSM is proposed and a comprehensive content analysis including a criteria analysis is carried out. Beyond this, in total 143 peer-reviewed publications between 1997 and 2014 have been analysed to identify both established and overlooked research fields. Major findings are the rapidly growing interest of this topic in academia in recent years, the predominance of Analytic Hierarchy Process, Analytic Network Process and fuzzy-based approaches, the focus on the f...

A new holistic conceptual framework for green supply chain management performance assessment based on circular economy

The purpose of this paper is to delineate a green supply chain (GSC) performance measurement framework using an intra-organisational collaborative decision-making (CDM) approach. A fuzzy analytic network process (ANP)-based green-balanced scorecard (GrBSc) has been used within the CDM approach to assist in arriving at a consistent, accurate and timely data flow across all cross-functional areas of a business. A green causal relationship is established and linked to the fuzzy ANP approach. The causal relationship involves organisational commitment, eco-design, GSC process, social performance and sustainable performance constructs. Sub-constructs and sub-sub-constructs are also identified and linked to the causal relationship to form a network. The fuzzy ANP approach suitably handles the vagueness of the linguistics information of the CDM approach. The CDM approach is implemented in a UK-based carpet-manufacturing firm. The performance measurement approach, in addition to the traditional financial performance and accounting measures, aids in firms decision-making with regard to the overall organisational goals. The implemented approach assists the firm in identifying further requirements of the collaborative data across the supply-cain and information about customers and markets. Overall, the CDM-based GrBSc approach assists managers in deciding if the suppliers performances meet the industry and environment standards with effective human resource.

Green supply chain performance measurement using fuzzy ANP-based balanced scorecard: a collaborative decision-making approach

The networked based manufacturing offers various advantages in current competitive atmosphere by way to reduce the short manufacturing cycle time and to maintain the production flexibility. In this paper, we have addressed a multi-objective problem whose objectives are to minimize the makespan and maximization of machine utilization for generating feasible process plans of multiple jobs in the context of networked based manufacturing system. In more specific, with two powerful multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) namely controlled elitist-NSGA-II (CE-NSGA-II), and territory defining evolutionary algorithm (TDEA), were proposed to find the better performance of the system. With the help of an illustrative example along with two complex scenarios these algorithms has been implemented, tested and compared. Finally, the computational results are analyzed to the benefit of the manufacturer.
