TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a set of measures for evaluating the performance of the automobile green supply chain, including customer perspective, traditional supply chain cost, and management commitment in terms of both importance and applicability.
Abstract: 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

TL;DR: In this article, a mixed integer linear model is developed for a carbon footprint based reverse logistics network design, which aims at minimizing climate change and employs reverse logistics activities to recover used products, hence combining the location/transportation decision problem.
Abstract: 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.

TL;DR: This note is intended as companion to the lecture at CONF 2000, mainly to give pointers to the appropriate references.
Abstract: One of the most flourishing areas of research in the design and analysis of approximation algorithms has been for facility location problems. In particular, for the metric case of two simple models, the uncapacitated facility location and the k-median problems, there are now a variety of techniques that yield constant performance guarantees. These methods include LP rounding, primal-dual algorithms, and local search techniques. Furthermore, the salient ideas in these algorithms and their analyzes are simple-to-explain and reflect a surprising degree of commonality. This note is intended as companion to our lecture at CONF 2000, mainly to give pointers to the appropriate references.

TL;DR: In this article, the return as a process was added to the Supply-Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model, stressing its importance for supply chain management in the future (Schultz, 2002).
Abstract: Twenty years ago, supply chains were busy fine-tuning the logistics of products from raw material to the end customer. Products are obviously still streaming in the direction of the end customer but an increasing flow of products is corning back. This is happening for a whole range of industries, covering electronic goods, pharmaceuticals, beverages, and so on. For instance, the automobile industry is busy changing the physical and virtual supply chain to facilitate end-of-life recovery (Boon et al., 2001; Ferguson and Browne, 2001). Besides this, distant sellers like e-tailers have to handle high return rates and many times at no cost for the customer. It is not surprising that the Reverse Logistics Executive Council has announced that US firms have been losing billions of dollars on account of being ill prepared to deal with reverse flows (Rogers and Tibben-Lembke, 1999) . The return as a process was recently added to the Supply-Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model, stressing its importance for supply chain management in the future (Schultz, 2002). Reverse Logistics has been stretching out worldwide, involving all the layers of supply chains in various industry sectors. While some actors in the chain have been forced to take products back, others have proactively done so, attracted by the value in used products. One way or the other, Reverse Logistics has become a key competence in modern supply chains.
