“…Out of the reviewed articles, about 93% articles are related to dairy industry and rest 7% are related to another food sector; and about 34% articles discuss DM, 28% discuss RM, and 37% discuss DMS practices in the context of the dairy supply chain. Further, the researchers like Mor et al (2015;2018a;2018b;2018c), Bhardwaj et al (2016), Sharma et al (2017) etc. have come up with some explanations to the issues of high wastages and improvement in food processing and dairy sector.…”

“…Banasik et al (2016) developed a scientific model of waste handling and expressed the exergy loss as an environmental indicator in FSC. Sharma et al (2017) ranked the key performance indicators responsible for implementation of GSCM in Indian dairy sector through extensive literature review and personal interviews. Handayati, Simatupang, and Perdana (2015) surveyed the FSC practices to identify key coordination issues.…”

Dairy industry plays a vital role in enriching the socio-economic status of rural India, particularly in women empowerment. In general, either a structure or subcomponents of dairy supply chain is discussed in the literature, but the rational (why, what, how) is missing. Further, the structured-literature-review (SLR) of dairy supply chain management (DSCM) practices is scarce. This paper presents an SLR of articles published in the context of DSCM practices. The paper further assesses the extent to which the SLR approach can be applied to DSCM so as to produce a consistent knowledge stock by evolving a context-sensitive study. The key challenges discussed in reviewed articles are highlighted. Authors selected the articles published in peer-reviewed journals and categorized the articles published in recent eleven years into three main subjects of supply chain i.e. distribution management (DM), risk management (RM), and decisionmaking strategies (DMS). The findings of this study show that the food safety, product quality, and associated economic benefits in dairy industry can be achieved through technological innovation, eradication of uncertainties, and introducing the global SCM practices into lean and green initiatives.

“…Based on the latest literature, it is possible to say that the adoption of GSCM practices by organizations has led to increased operational and organizational performance [53]. Companies are increasingly being urged to play their part in taking action to avert long-term irreversible damage to our planet, and they are setting up environmental programs to incorporate green policy throughout various stages of their supply chain.…”

The methods and tools for the performance measurement and evaluation of the green supply chain management are very important elements for the construction and function of this type of supply chain. The result is a presentation of the considerations underlying a very general model, which presents some selected tools, but no breakdown of individual industries. The considerations undertaken are important and have scientific added value as usually in practice, a very large number of tools are used to assess the supply chain, which are not always correlated or adapted to the specificity of the chain. It is worth pointing out which of the already used or completely new tools and methods will be most useful for assessing the green supply chain. The structure of the paper covers the theoretical and empirical. It includes an introduction, our goals and hypotheses, state of the art, methodology, empirical findings, and discussion. We present the definitional differences between green and sustainable supply chains and focus on the selection and identification of methods for the framework model for evaluating the green supply chain. In the next step, the theoretical and selected method and tools were compared to a survey of Poland. On the basis of the survey, we present the findings and discussions found in this area. The main methodology used includes a literature review, a survey analysis using a questionnaire and statistical tools. The survey was carried out in 2015 in sample organizations in Poland. The research results showed that organizations were aware of the environmental elements of measuring and assessing the supply chain from an environmental point of view, but their use depended on many factors: the area, size of the organization, or the industry. If certain boundary conditions are met and the organizations are aware of the essence of environmental aspects in the chain, then they are applying green measures to the supply chain. These findings provide a glimpse into the measurement system and show that organizations still have yet to understand the essence of green and sustainable performance measurement, the meaning of its application, and the benefits it brings. However, traditional measurement still plays a large role, so it is important to reflect on how to convince organizations to pay more attention to environmental aspects, while at the same time applying a green supply chain assessment model. These results are a framework in which to start building a green supply chain assessment model. The empirical research aimed to answer the question of whether theoretical and sustainable management tools have already played a role in perceiving and assessing the green supply chain.

“…Hereby, green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) performs as a significant part in affecting the whole environmental effect of any business engaged in some activities of Supply Chain (SC) and enhances sustainability performance. Many GSCM researches concentrate on the diverse topics that range from organisational research and practice in GSCM [100][101][102][103][104]. The lack of agreement on green SC practices is assumed to be caused from the green SC field being a new field of practice and study since the theories in this field are still identifying and underdeveloped, assessing, and choosing the vital GSCM practices are main purposes for successful GSCM implementation [105].…”

Application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to Solve Environmental Sustainability Problems: A Comprehensive Review and Meta-Analysis

Most methodological areas assume common serious reflections to certify difficult study and publication practices, and, therefore, approval in their area. Interestingly, relatively little attention has been paid to reviewing the application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in environmental sustainability problems despite the growing number of publications in the past two decades. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to fill this gap by conducting a wide search in two main databases including Web of Science and Scopus to identify the studies which used SEM techniques in the period from 2005 to 2016. A critical analysis of these articles addresses some important key issues. On the basis of our results, we present comprehensive guidelines to help researchers avoid general pitfalls in using SEM. The results of this review are important and will help researchers to better develop research models based on SEM in the area of environmental sustainability.
