Evaluation of relationships between GSCM practices and SCP using SEM approach: an empirical investigation on Iranian automobile industry

Abstract

Achieving a sustainable consumption and production pattern is one of the United Nation's sustainable development goals for 2030. To achieve this, it is necessary to consider the environmental burden from a product life cycle and the quality of life of the consumer. In this study, a systematic approach for connecting basic human needs and the product development process, called the living-sphere approach, is proposed. This approach is intended to encompass the complete relationship between region-specific basic needs and durable products. In this approach, value graphs, which visualize the value system of products, are connected to satisfiers fulfilling the basic needs set out by Max-Neef. A value graph links satisfiers and the traditional product development process. The significance of the proposed approach is twofold. First, improving quality of daily life and traditional product development are combined in the same framework. Second, the design of single products and the total optimization of multi-products are supported at the requirement level.

A Systematic Literature Review on Data and Information Required for Circular Manufacturing Strategies Adoption

“…In reverse logistics, supplier management practices should be revised. Environmental auditing of suppliers must be performed (e.g., on injury reduction in terms of deforestation and material recycling, or on emission reduction or cost savings [84] that might be done also through a questionnaire, the introduction of a compliance statement, a product testing report, the bill of material (BOM) of products and components purchased and the establishment of environmental requirements for purchasing [85]. The hygiene and safety conditions of suppliers must be checked, as well as their partnerships with green organizations, their adherence to green policies, their pollution control initiatives, the appropriate staff training, the environmental standards adoption, the quality and time of the service provided, the economic data, and the usage of environmentally friendly technology and materials [86].…”

Effect of Green Supply Chain Management Practices on Environmental Performance: Case of Mexican Manufacturing Companies

“…In turn, Green Kenneth, et al [8] found that sustainable customer purchases do not significantly impact the environmental performance of SC systems but rather their economic performance. In addition, Aalirezaei, et al [9] analyzed the effects of GSCM practices on the environmental, operational, and economic performance of Iranian automotive companies and reported that GSCM positively promotes supplier performance.…”

Resilient and sustainable supply chain criteria for performance evaluation: selection and ranking through fuzzy Delphi

“…Previous works like the one of Wu et al (2016) propose waste and recovery minimization (C19) which includes the minimization of waste produced by supply chain partners; reverse logistics (C20) that concern the practices established by supply chain partners to retrieve products or parts of them to reuse, recycle and rebuild to minimize negative impacts on the environment (Elzarka, 2020); environment conservation (C21) that implies raising the precision of forecasting and adopting technology to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions involving in collective distribution and using the cross-docking strategy. This encourages energy efficiency and incorporating an environmentally friendly design with wide recycling plans (Aalirezaei et al, 2018); product life-cycle (C22) centered on eco-friendly tasks through the requirement, design, production, transportation, usage, disposition, recycling and costs tied to the organization, customers or society (Ahmad et al, 2020); cleaner production (C23) which refer to the utilization of all resources needed to efficiently reduce harmful raw materials, and to shrink the toxicity of releases and scraps prior to their release from the manufacture stage (Lim et al, 2017); law and regulation (C24) that concern the responsibility of the focal firm to reintroduce products or parts of them into the production process and encourage recycling in the SC (Raut et al, 2021).…”
