TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend prior supply chain research by building and empirically testing a theoretical model of the contingency effects of environmental uncertainty on the relationships between three dimensions of supply chain integration and four dimensions of operational performance.

TL;DR: The paper summarizes research on quantitative models for forward supply chains and thereby contributes to the further substantiation of the field and ends with suggestions for future research.
Abstract: More than 300 papers have been published in the last 15years on the topic of green or sustainable (forward) supply chains Looking at the research methodologies employed, only 36 papers apply quantitative models This is in contrast to, for example, the neighboring field of reverse or closed-loop supply chains where several reviews on respective quantitative models have already been provided The paper summarizes research on quantitative models for forward supply chains and thereby contributes to the further substantiation of the field While different kinds of models are applied, it is evident that the social side of sustainability is not taken into account On the environmental side, life-cycle assessment based approaches and impact criteria clearly dominate On the modeling side there are three dominant approaches: equilibrium models, multi-criteria decision making and analytical hierarchy process There has been only limited empirical research so far The paper ends with suggestions for future research

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a framework of an organization's supply chain process flexibilities as an important antecedent of its supply chain agility, and then establish the key factors that determine the flexibility attributes of the three critical processes of the supply chain.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the integration of information sharing and supply chain practice in supply chain management and find that effective information sharing significantly enhances effective supply chain practices and that supply chain dynamism has significant positive influence on information sharing.
