Green Supply Chain Practices for Environmental Sustainability A Proposed Framework for Manufacturing Firms
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to conceptualize a structural model of Green Supply Chain practices by the organizations for environmental sustainability through the identification and incorporation of relevant performance drivers and barriers of green practices. The review of the literature was done to study the Green Supply Chain practices implemented by various organizations. Further, how Green Supply Chain Management drives environmental sustainability was studied. The green performance drivers and the barriers were identified by studying the existing studies on the efficient use of green practices in Supply chain management. In this study, the scope is determined by centring on the manufacturing examples of green supply chain management. Based on the drivers and the barriers identified, a suggestive set of activities is modelled that can be used for the efficient use of the green practices in Supply Chain. Real-time organizational cases were identified that collaborated with the environmental organizations for green initiatives. This motivated the researcher to incorporate collaborations as a major suggestive parameter in the model. As this study swotted the past works of green practices for the manufacturing firms and firms in general, the suggestive components can be limited at the execution level for the service sector. This research study is an endeavour to comprehend how Green Supply Chain Management drives environmental sustainability through secondary data. A model that is anticipated at the end of this study is completely theoretical and conceptual, and accommodates the scope of change for the change in the organization.
