“…This is critical since the literature found the industry reluctant to adopt such a collaborative approach (De Langen and Van der Horst 2008). Some endeavours in this direction have investigated freight consolidation (Zhou, Van Hui and Liang 2011), collaborative intermodal hub networks (Groothedde, Ruijgrok and Tavasszy 2005) and sustainable collaborative networked organisations (Jaegler and Burlat 2012). Effective solutions can be developed especially when horizontal and vertical collaboration are combined in supply chain decisions (Mason, Lalwani and Boughton 2007).…”

Combining efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability is crucial for companies to succeed in today's context of fierce competition. This paper investigates how intermodal transport can be adopted for managing supply chains according to a Lean and Green approach. A scenario-based estimation tool was developed to quantify the potential demand for intermodal transport. The tool was applied to the Italian Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) supply chain. Following, a single longitudinal case study on a FMCG company (Procter & Gamble) was carried out to investigate the enabling factors for the adoption of intermodal transport. Our results show that it is possible to shift demand from road to rail: a number of pathways for action were identified that related to planning and management, assets, train services, collaboration, legal issues, and incentive schemes. Also, a collaborative business model for making the modal shift possible was presented. This paper is original because it offers an investigation of Lean and Green Supply Chain Management through intermodal transport by adopting a supply chain perspective and providing a bridging link between academic studies and field evidence.

“…Some add an environmental factor to a conventional quality, quantity or price model. Carbon dioxide is one such factor, not least, as it is a measure of pollution under increasing regulatory scrutiny (Chaabane et al, 2011;Choi, 2013;Harris et al, 2011;Jaegler and Burlat, 2012). Other regulatory factors include the European Union Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive (Quariguasi Frota Neto et al, 2010).…”

Purpose – This study aims to aid theory building, the use of decision theory (DT) concepts in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) research is examined. Design/methodology/approach – An abductive approach considers two DT concepts, Snowden’s Cynefin framework for sense-making and Keeney’s value-focussed decision analysis, in a systematic literature review of 160 peer-reviewed papers in English. Findings – Around 60 per cent of the papers on decision-making in SSCM come from operational research (OR), which makes explicit use of DT. These are almost all normative and rationalist and focussed on structured decision contexts. Some exceptions seek to address unstructured decision contexts via Complex Adaptive Systems or Soft Systems Methodology. Meanwhile, a second set, around 16 per cent, comes from business ethics and are empirical, behavioural decision research. Although this set does not explicitly refer to DT, the empirical evidence here supports Keeney’s value-focussed analysis. Research limitations/implications – There is potential for theory building in SSCM using DT, but the research only addresses SSCM research (including corporate responsibility and ethics) and not DT in SCM or wider sustainable development research. Practical implications – Use of particular decision analysis methods for SSCM may be improved by better understanding different decision contexts. Social implications – The research shows potential synthesis with ethical DT absent from DT and SCM research. Originality/value – Empirical behavioural decision analysis for SSCM is considered alongside normative, rational analysis for the first time. Value-focussed DT appears useful for unstructured decision contexts found in SSCM. Originality/value – Empirical, behavioural decision analysis for SSCM is considered alongside normative rational analysis for the first time. Value-focussed DT appears useful for unstructured decision contexts found in SSCM.

“…Reference [18] proposes a simulation model to design green supply chains in the distribution of aluminum metal and compares the emissions due to the transport with other parameters. Reference [19] simulates greenhouse gas emissions due to transportation and storage along supply chains. References [7] and [8] show that within supply chains, transport and storage account for around 50% of Co 2 emissions.…”

Rendering the supply chain more carbon-friendly is an innovative idea progressively adopted by industry. Transport accounts for one-fifth of the carbon emissions that are generated on French territory. Among the different transport modes, road transport is the one responsible for the majority of transport emissions. Our research focuses on the CO 2 emissions along the supply chain due to road freight transport. Accordingly, we conduct a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions assessment of a transport company. The main objectives of the study are twofold: identifying the main emission sources and improving green supply chains.
