The main purpose of this study was to develop a set of measures for evaluating the performance of the automobile green supply chain This study reviewed various literatures on green supply chain performance measurement, environmental management, traditional supply chain performance measurement, and automobile supply chain management In order to comprehensively and effectively establish the relevant measures, a suitable framework which considered the automobile green supply chain as a two-in-one chain was adopted This two-in-one chain comprised a forward and backward chain for the automobile industry Consequently, 10 measures with 49 metrics and 6 measures with 23 metrics were identified and developed for the forward and backward chains, respectively Sequel to the development of these measures, a survey was conducted using a four-page questionnaire distributed to experts (including academics and practitioners) to establish their importance and applicability The findings of this study suggested that the importance and applicability of all the developed measures have been substantiated For the forward chain, the most crucial measure was customer perspective while the most applicable one was traditional supply chain cost The reverse chain measures were topped by management commitment in terms of both importance and applicability This study contributed to the advancement of knowledge by pioneering the development of a set of holistic measures for evaluating the performance of the automobile green supply chain The study was wrapped up with the proposition of directions for further studies

Development of key performance measures for the automobile green supply chain

Due to the environmental legislation and regulations, manufacturing firms have realized the importance of adopting environmental friendly supply chain management (SCM) practices. In this paper, a mixed integer linear model is developed for a carbon footprint based reverse logistics network design. The proposed model aims at minimizing climate change (specifically, the CO2 footprint), and it employs reverse logistics activities to recover used products, hence combining the location/transportation decision problem. The proposed model is validated by examining a case study from the plastic sector.

Serial water balance method for predicting leachate generation in landfills

The present work carries out an approximation in the calculation of the current number of End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) in Mexico. The vehicles taken into account are passenger cars and light trucks, which due to their large number represent almost 70% of the total vehicular fleet in Mexico. This work describes, in a first instance, the diverse factors affecting the number of ELV; after this, the available information about the most relevant features of the Mexican fleet is presented. Based on historical data, it is estimated that current number of ELV in Mexico is around 690,000 units. In the second part, two probable scenarios are established for the future growth of the Mexican vehicular fleet. Using these data as inputs, it is implemented the Weibull distribution. The iterative implementation of this tool generates the curves that describe the retirement of vehicles in the midterm. The result of this implementation estimates that the number of ELV for 2020 is around one million units.

Acumulación de productos al final de su vida útil en México, el caso de los vehículos automotores

The present work develops the configuration’s design of collection networks for End-of-Life Vehicles in Mexico. The problem uses analytic tools, widely used in the reverse logistics supply management. The problem is identified as an Uncapacitated Fixed Charge Facility Location problem (UFCFLP) and it is solved through the use of the SITATION© facility location software. Three scenarios are developed to solve the problem; every scenario takes into account a different percentage in collection coverage. The results describe for every scenario the fixed, transport and total costs’ behavior in the system and the geographic location of collection centers within Mexico.
