“…Zhalechian et al (2016) present a new sustainable closed-loop location-routing-inventory model under mixed uncertainty using a stochastic-possibilistic programming approach. The research about sustainability in the supply chain is also widely discussed (Basu et al, 2015;Basu et al, 2017;Zhu et al, 2008).…”

Purpose Members in a supply chain account for corporate social responsibility (CSR) in different ways. This paper considers a socially responsible supply chain in which the manufacturer innovates in a sustainable product while the retailer exhibits CSR concerns. This paper aims to investigate how socially responsible behavior, namely, sustainable innovations or CSR concerns, affects the pure profit, environmental impact and social welfare, in such a socially responsible supply chain. Design/methodology/approach This paper first constructs an integrated case as a benchmark and then develops a Manufacturer-Stackelberg game in a decentralized scenario. The pure profit, environmental impact and social welfare are confirmed and analyzed in centralized and decentralized cases. Moreover, two unique coordinating contracts, i.e. wholesale price discount contract and revenue-sharing contract, are used in this socially responsible supply chain. Findings Analytical analysis shows that, under certain conditions, the optimal CSR strategies hold for maximizing pure channel profit, minimizing environmental impact and maximizing social welfare. Whether the performance in a centralized case outnumbers that in a decentralized case depends on the CSR concerns level and environment-friendly degree of the product. In addition, it is found that a wholesale price discount contract is better for the retailer whereas a revenue-sharing contract is better for the manufacturer in pure profit to improve coordinating efficiency. Practical implications These results can offer managerial implications to the socially responsible supply chain in terms of pricing decisions, CSR strategies and sustainability innovations. Specifically, under certain conditions, placing more CSR concerns level increases pure channel profit and the social welfare. A balance between the pure profit and the social welfare is hereby achieved for the two socially responsible individuals by designing a proper contract. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is among the first studies so far to combine the CSR concerns strategy and sustainability innovation into a socially responsible supply chain.

This paper provides a literature review of freight transportation service procurement and investigates the challenges and opportunities regarding transportation organization and procurement mechanism design in the context of E-commerce. A total of 78 articles published in academic journals between 1998 and 2017 were reviewed. A framework comprising seven classification criteria is proposed to analyze the articles. The results reveal that new business environments challenge the efficiency and effectiveness of the current leading procurement mechanisms. This work also identifies the trends and gaps from the viewpoints of practitioners and researchers and describes future prospects in new freight transportation markets and organizations.

“…The majority of papers in SSS came up with grouping models or evaluation techniques that aid in selecting relevant suppliers or/and allocating orders among the suppliers (e.g., [67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76]). A few other studies developed decision support models for SSE in different sectors of the automotive industry, for instance, in logistics service providers ( [77][78][79]) and spare part suppliers [80]. A different study of this area was that of Govindan et al [81], who combined supply chain network design (SCND) with the order allocation problem in order to minimize procurement costs and environmental impacts of an automobile manufacturer in Iran.…”

Sustainable Supply Chain Management in the Automotive Industry: A Process-Oriented Review

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The holistic shift from traditional supply chain to sustainable supply chain has been practiced in different industries for many years. The automotive industry, as one of the largest and most influential industries in the world, could have a substantial effect on the movement toward a sustainable society. Despite the growing body of literature in the field of sustainable supply chain management, there is no review article that comprehensively synthesizes the state-of-the-art research in the automotive industry. To cover this gap, this paper reviews the sustainable supply chain management literature in the automotive industry published between 1995 and 2017. A systematic review and content analysis were conducted to collect the studies and analyze their content. The content analysis was structured based upon a set of key business processes following the Integration Definition Function (IDEF0) method, which is a structured approach of analyzing business processes. The study provides a practical guideline for designing a sustainable automotive supply chain and culminates with the outlined research gaps and recommendations for future research.
