“…In the same study, integration, collaboration, and innovation were identified as distinct interrelated elements for effective, efficient, and sustainable supply chains. Green technology has been evaluated through a new approach based on the significance of the supply chain configuration that gives significant information about environmental as well as economic aspects 121 . Habib et al 122 assessed the strategic impact orientation in three dimensions, including market, green entrepreneurial, and knowledge management on GSCM practice implementation and sustainable firm performance.…”

Summary This study provides an overview of green supply chain management (GSCM) in the context of renewable energy sources. Thus, it establishes a green management standard with GSCM that companies can adopt. The environmental, economic, and social components determine the concept of GSCM. However, the development and commercialization of renewable energy and sustainable manufacturing practices play a fundamental role in shaping the traditional supply chain management (SCM) and business models. GSCM means that firms and organizations must balance economic and environmental performance to stay competitive, and conform with regulatory and community pressures. This has forced enterprises to design and implement strategies such as eco‐efficiency, greener production, and cleaner environmental practices, for green management practices, which aim at reducing the environmental impacts of their operations. This study further highlights insights needed to significantly improve performance and overcome barriers to the development of renewable energy green supply chain management (REGSCM). It also presents useful techniques by outlining better control chain costs to make renewable energy more affordable and efficient, and a new conceptual model that is mainly grounded within the network of distributed energy systems in the context of GSCM. This concept allows renewable energy producers to sell their surplus electricity based on a peer‐to‐peer (P2P) network or sell directly via the general market. Specifically, this model brings to bear the linkages to the creation of value by firms.

“…AM reduces the lead time, offers huge flexibility, shortens the time to market (Engelseth et al 2021 ), and helps to achieve environmental sustainability (Afshari et al 2019 ). The decentralized supply chain promoted by AM helps to locate the manufacturing facility closer to the customer (Rinaldi et al 2021a , b ). With operational and technological innovations, AM can also be used to achieve high-volume production output (Huang et al 2021a , b ).…”

Investigating the interaction of factors for implementing additive manufacturing to build an antifragile supply chain: TISM-MICMAC approach

et al. 2022

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has come across as an exogenous shock to the firms and their supply chains. It has led firms to rethink and rework their existing robust and resilient supply chains. The purpose of this study is to move beyond robustness and resilience and shift to an antifragile supply chain that sees disorder as an opportunity to learn and grow. In this study, various factors to attain an antifragile supply chain have been identified through literature review and experts’ opinions. Using TISM-MICMAC, structural relationships among these factors have been developed, and, then the factors have been classified as drivers or dependents. The study reveals the importance of having proactive top management as a major driving power to build an antifragile supply chain. Development of a strategy for collaboration and innovation, development of a skilled workforce for technology adoption, and resource allocation for digitalization are some other factors with strong driving power. The novelty of the study lies in its effort to drive the attention of researchers and practitioners towards thinking beyond robustness and resilience and shifting towards antifragility. The study will help firms in strategic decision-making for the adoption of additive manufacturing technology to develop antifragility in the supply chain and save itself from negative consequences in the face of disruption.

“…AHP has been widely exploited to select and prioritize risks for the improvement of strategy in industrial contexts and for safety reasons. From the strategy point of view, AHP has been used in supply chain management for evaluating the risk associated with the performance and selection of suppliers [11], for minimizing raw material supply risks and environmental impact [12], and for technology selection and supply chain configuration in sustainable industrial environments [13]. Various studies adopted the AHP method to prioritize safety risks in the construction industry [14,15], but they can also be used in other work contexts.…”

Background: In this study, we promote a global approach to occupational risk perception in order to improve occupational health and safety training programs. The study investigates the occupational risk perception of operating room healthcare workers using an Analytic Hierarchy Process approach. Methods: A pilot study was carried out through a cross-sectional survey in a university hospital in Southern Italy. An ad hoc questionnaire was administered to enrolled medical post-graduate students working in the operating room. Results: Fifty medical specialists from seven fields (anaesthetists, digestive system surgeons, general surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, thoracic surgeons, urologists, and gynaecologists) were questioned about perceived occupational risk by themselves. Biological, ionizing radiation, and chemical risks were the most commonly perceived in order of priority (w = 0.300, 0.219, 0.210). Concerning the biological risk, gynaecologists unexpected perceived this risk as less critical (w = 0.2820) than anaesthesiologists (w = 0.3354), which have the lowest perception of the risk of ionizing radiation (w = 0.1657). Conclusions: Prioritization methods could improve risk perception in healthcare settings and help detect training needs and perform sustainable training programs.
