TL;DR: In this article, the extent and nature of greening the supply chain in the UK manufacturing sector was examined and the factors that influence the breadth and depth of this activity were examined.
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent and nature of greening the supply chain (SC) in the UK manufacturing sector; and the factors that influence the breadth and depth of this activity.Design/methodology/approach – Based on the findings from a sample of manufacturing organisations drawn from the membership of The Chartered Institute for Purchasing and Supply. Data are collected using a questionnaire, piloted and pre‐tested before distribution with responses from 60 manufacturing companies.Findings – On average manufacturers perceive the greatest pressure to improve environmental performance through legislation and internal drivers (IDs). The least influential pressures are related to societal drivers and SC pressures from individual customers. Green supply chain management (GSCM) practices amongst this “average” group of UK manufacturing organisations are focusing on internal, higher risk, descriptive activities, rather than proactive, external engagement processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors look at corporate logistics strategy, particularly with regard to the USA, and discuss strategy referring to a general concept of operations guiding all activities towards an ultimate goal.

Discusses strategy referring to a general concept of operations guiding all activities towards an ultimate goal – global rather than local. Itemizes some major American firms and their attitudes and considers their policies and results. Shows supply chain management and cycle time compression to be complementing logistics strategies for progressive US firms.

01 Jan 1999TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a growing body of work on supply chain contracts and their economic implications, focusing on who controls what decisions and how parties will be compensated in a supply chain.
Abstract: Recent years have seen a growing interest among both academics and practitioners in the field of supply chain management. With that has come a growing body of work on supply chain contracts. Few firms are so large and few products so simple that one organization can manage the entire provision of the good. Rather, most supply chains require the coordination of independently managed entities who seek to maximize their own profits. Issues of who controls what decisions and how parties will be compensated become critical. An understanding of contractual forms and their economic implications is therefore an important part of evaluating supply chain performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the Supply-Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) framework and The Global Supply Chain Forum (GSCF) framework using four criteria and identify their relative strengths and weaknesses.
Abstract: Supply chain management (SCM) is implemented by integrating corporate functions using business processes within and across companies. Several process-oriented frameworks for SCM have been proposed but only two of these provide sufficient detail to enable implementation. We evaluate the Supply-Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) framework and The Global Supply Chain Forum (GSCF) framework using four criteria and identify their relative strengths and weaknesses.
