Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Doutor em
Engenharia IndustrialThe success of an organization depends on the effective control of its supply chain. It is important to recognize new opportunities for organization and its supply chain. In the last few years the approach to lean, agile, resilient and green supply chain paradigms has been addressed in the scientific literature. Research in this field shows that the integration of these concepts revealed some contradictions among so many paradigms. This thesis is mainly focused on the lean and green approaches. Thirteen different management frameworks, embodied in awards, standards and tools were studied to understand if they could contribute for the modelling process of a lean and green approach. The study reveals a number of categories that are common in most management frameworks, providing adequate conditions for a lean and green supply chain transformation. A conceptual framework for the evaluation of a lean and green organization`s supply chain was proposed. The framework considers six key criteria, namely, leadership, people, strategic planning, stakeholders, processes and results. It was proposed an assessment method considering a criteria score for each criterion. The purpose is to understand how lean and green supply chain can be compatible, using principles, practices, techniques or tools (i.e. elements) that support both, a lean and a green approach, in all key criteria. A case study in the automotive upstream supply chain was performed to understand more deeply if the elements proposed for the conceptual framework could be implemented in a real-scenario. Based on the conceptual framework and the case study, a roadmap to achieve a lean-green transformation is presented. The proposed roadmap revealed its contribution to the understanding on how and when an organization`s supply chain should apply the lean and green elements. This study is relevant to practice, as it may assist managers in the adoption of a lean and green supply chain approach, giving insights for the implementation of a hybrid supply chain.

Full textAbstract:
Some business leaders in the manufacturing industry lack strategies to optimize green supply chain management strategies that increase profitability while reducing the carbon footprint. The lack of green supply chain strategies sub optimizes the use of resources business leaders use to meet their financial goals. The purpose of this qualitative single case study was to explore successful green supply chain strategies leaders used to increase profitability while reducing the carbon footprint. The participants were 7 business leaders in one manufacturing organization headquartered in Massachusetts who have sophisticated green supply chain strategies in place. The natural resource-based view theory was the conceptual framework for this study. Data were collected through semistructured interviews and organizational documents. Through thematic analysis, 3 key themes emerged: environmental management strategies, profit-increasing strategies, and governance strategies. The findings of this study might be of value to business leaders to reduce costs and create sustainable, competitive supply chains using responsible methods. The implications for social change include the potential for leaders to preserve finite natural resources for future generations and reduce the carbon footprint of manufacturing organizations.

Full textAbstract:
Green supply chain models and carbon emissions tracking have become increasingly prevalent in the supply chain management literature and in corporate strategies. In this dissertation, carbon emissions are integrated into cost-based freight transportation models that can be used to assist operations and supply chain managers in solving the "last mile problem". The models presented herein serve to provide the decision maker with choices on which strategy to implement depending on the strength of the management's desire to reduce carbon emissions. By comparing the optimal solutions that result from using different delivery strategies, this research provides a basis for evaluating an appropriate trade-off between transportation cost and carbon emissions.
This dissertation contributes to academia and the literature in several ways. The discrete supply chain models provide a method for decision makers to analyze and compare the lowest cost delivery option with the lowest carbon footprint option. The stochastic last mile framework that is introduced provides a method for researchers and practitioners to measure the expected carbon footprint and compare probabilistic costs, carbon emissions, delivery mileage, and delivery times in order to make decisions regarding the most appropriate delivery strategy. This framework is then applied to two different problem settings. The first involves optimizing a delivery fleet to produce the lowest total cost with carbon emissions integrated into the total cost equation. The second compares the carbon footprint resulting from last mile delivery (ecommerce retailing involving a central store delivering to end customers) to customer pick up (conventional shopping at a brick-and-mortar retail location); the break-even number of customers for carbon emissions equivalence provides a basis for companies to determine the environmental impact of last mile delivery and to determine the feasibility of last mile delivery based on objectives related to minimizing carbon emissions.

Full textAbstract:
Research on carbon emission management is becoming a very important part of the green supply chain landscape as more businesses continue to make it part of their business strategy, amid pressures from customers, competitors and regulatory agencies. To contribute to the body of knowledge in this emerging research stream a series of lot size models that consider both economic and environmental performances are developed for the carbon emission conscious retailer, manufacturer and a combined model of the retailer and manufacturer. As a matter of expediency, the combined retailer-manufacturer model (Banerjee, 1986) is referred to as the system in this dissertation.
The carbon tax mechanism and carbon cap-and-trade mechanism are the most efficient market-based options used to lower carbon emission in practice. These mechanisms are integrated into the developed lot size models, the results of which could provide the carbon emission conscious retailer, manufacturer and the system with optimal lot size and cost strategies. The findings also shed more light for decision makers and policymakers on the impact of carbon tax and carbon trading regulatory policies on the business strategies of the firm. In addition, this dissertation contributes to the current sparse quantitative literature on carbon emission and green supply chain research.

Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) within the automotive industry is largely based on combining lean manufacturing with mandated supplier adoption of ISO 14001-compliant Environmental Management Systems (EMS). This approach evolved from automotive manufacturers seeking to expediently expand green practices within existing lean supply chains. However, a new automotive enterprise, without the legacy issues of an existing supply chain, has the opportunity to customize its supply chain from scratch, to comprehensively achieve both financial and green objectives. This thesis investigated a more holistic approach to creating a financially-viable green automotive supply chain for the MIT Vehicle Design Summit (VDS) - a start-up enterprise planning to enter the Indian emerging market with a new type of eco-friendly automobile. First, a hypothetical VDS supply chain was postulated by analyzing the contextual challenges of the Indian emerging economy, so as to optimize the location, supplier selection and manufacturing models within its business context. To ensure that the capital investments needed to fulfill the supply chain's green objectives do not compromise its primary purpose of value creation, a Triple Bottom Line technique called Environmental Cost Accounting was used as a managerial decision tool, which demonstrated the financial viability of GSCM for VDS. Next, green solutions for each supply chain function were identified for integration into the hypothetical supply chain. It was found that many important green solutions for an automotive supply chain like supplier selection, concurrent engineering, cascading of lean production best practices to the extended supply chain, fuel-efficient transport practices and green infrastructure design, have already been developed by various governmental and non-governmental agencies.
(cont.) Also, product recovery through End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) processing was identified as a vital green supply chain function required for closing the loop between sales and sourcing. The key issue was integrating these disparate solutions into a holistic environmental management framework for VDS to implement and sustain. This was accomplished using an IS014001-based EMS as the master plan. The developed EMS Manual is a pioneering document that leverages chain-wide participation in existing green initiatives like the Green Suppliers Network, SmartWay Transport Partnership and LEED Green Building Rating, to realize a green supply chain by ensuring continuous monitoring and improvement of the implemented initiatives.

Зелений ланцюг поставок став глобальною проблемою через негативний вплив на екологічне середовище, економіку та загальний прожиток. GSC розширює звичайний ланцюжок поставок, включаючи практики, спрямовані на зменшення екологічного впливу товару протягом усього циклу, такі як екологічне будівництво, економія витрат, вивезення небезпечних матеріалів та переробка та повторне використання товарів. Це дослідження мало на меті вивчити вплив GSC на ефективність діяльності організацій, які зосереджені на Великій Аккрі.
В аналізі використано детальний дизайн поперечного перерізу. Для опитування п'ятдесяти (50) респондентів також був використаний базовий метод довільної вибірки. Дані аналізували за допомогою Статистичного пакету соціальних наук (SPSS).
Дослідження виявляє, що екологічний вплив ГСК на організації також є значним. Знову було виявлено, що GSC має економічний та операційний вплив на організації, але не в дуже значній мірі. Нарешті, було виявлено, що організації вживають заходів GSC, щоб мінімізувати або зменшити шкідливий вплив СК на навколишнє середовище, економіку та саму організацію.The Green Supply Chain has become a global issue due to its negative effects on the ecological environment, the economy and general livelihoods. GSC is widening the conventional supply chain to incorporate practices aimed at reducing the environmental effect of a product during the whole cycle, such as green construction, cost savings, the removal of hazardous materials and the recycle and re-use of goods. This research aimed to examine the impact of GSC on the performance of organizations with a concentration on the Greater Accra Metropolitan Region. The analysis used a detailed cross-section design. A basic random sampling technique was also used for the survey of fifty (50) respondents. Data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The study finds that the environmental effect of GSC on organizations is also significant. Again it was discovered that GSC has an economic and operational effect on organizations, but not to a very significant degree. Finally, it was revealed that the organizations are taking GSC steps to minimize or reduce the detrimental impact SC has on the environment, the economy and the organization itself.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis titled antecedents and enablers of green supply chain practices focuses on one of the most contemporary issues in supply chain management. The literature review explores the existing literature and research work on green supply chain practices and develops a framework for the research. The research is qualitative in nature and data was collected from the three automobile component-manufacturing companies in India. Semi structured interviews were conducted over a period of 18 months.
There were three objectives for this thesis:
1. Describing the current state of green supply chain practices?
2. What are the antecedents and enablers for green supply chain practices?
3. What are the underlying mechanisms, if any?
The research work concludes by answering all the above three questions and also gives the future direction for research. The research work started by finding a gap for the empirical research in the context of green supply chain practices. The objective of the research was to focus on antecedents and enablers of green supply chain practices. Some contextual factors, inhibitors and consequences are also emerged during the pilot case study.
The research work is rigor and to ensure the rigor of the research design, five-stage process was used to structure the methodology. As a final check author assessed his research against the four basic tests commonly used in empirical research; construct validity, internal validity, external validity and reliability. The research study has contributed both to the development and testing of theory relating to the antecedents and enablers of green supply chain practices. The review of literature provided a synthesis of the underpinning bodies of literature that has not previously been conducted in this way. This resulted in the identification of ten core green supply chain practices for the development of antecedents and enablers that created the foundation for author’s empirical investigation. It was found that previous studies have been largely theoretical. The empirical studies that do exist have focused on one particular dyadic relationship with in green supply chain practices.
A double contribution has been made to testing the theory of green supply chain practices from a process and output perspective. As process perspective, a contribution has been made to methodology by developing a robust approach for conducting supply chain research beyond the dyad. From output perspective, the author has the empirical results from the three individual case studies and their cross-case comparison for dissemination to an academic audience.
Specific contribution of this research to theory development include:
1. Development of macro model of green supply chain practices with the inputs from literature.
2. The synthesis of ten core green supply chain practices with antecedents and enablers from existing body of literature enriched through empirical testing
3. Empirical derivation of three contextual factors.
Although the research work is new and contribute to the theory and practices, there are still some limitations of this research. Two minor limitations have been identified:
1. Generalizability of result to practice to practice: Due to the limited size of the case study approach, the results can only be generalized to theory and not to practice.
2. Variation in quality of information: The scope of data collection for all three case studies was same still the quality of information gathered was different. As good quality cross-case analysis was still possible but the relative strengths of the three cases varied.
Overall the research work is original, rigor, and contributes to the existing theory and also paves the path for future research work in the area of green supply chain practices.

Full textAbstract:
Core enterprise is the center of Green Supply Chain (GSC) and it helps partners to meet the environmental standards and to improve GSC’s performance. However there are two questions for core enterprise when it establishes GSC: What roles do core enterprise play in GSC? How does core enterprise improve GSC’s performance? What criterions are considered when core enterprise chooses partners in GSC? In order to answer these questions, this paper will use following methods: firstly, Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and Analytic network process (ANP) have be used to study on three research companies (IKEA, TOYOTA and Apple); Secondly, six interviews with research companies’ employees. After case study, the results show that when core enterprise chooses partners, it will draw up some criterions and sub-standards for partners to fulfill. Furthermore, core enterprise plays the roles as GSC’s builder, director, coordinator, and designer in the system. Finally, this paper answered the research questions: Firstly, in order to improve the performance of GSC, core enterprise should direct all partners in GSC to save materials and recycle waste in each link of GSC. Secondly, core enterprise can use four criterions to choose partners. These criterions are: environmental management performance, product-related elements, production-service levels, and enterprise culture.

Sustainable development is an eternal topic and the enterprise’ sustainability provides the answer. Furthermore, emerging market’s sustainable development is frequently mentioned recently due to the serious pollution and waste due to the blind pursuit of higher GDP (Colm, 2012). This paper aims to find out the drivers and barriers of green supply chain management (GSCM) implementation; and figure out how to strengthen the relationship between green purchasing (GP) and GSCM based on the single-case study of Guitang Group. Combining the qualitative and quantitative method, we try to explore and describe the influence on GSCM development caused by the specific background of China. Based on the suggestions of how to strengthen the relationships between GP and GSCM, it will be more efficient for us to find a suitable way for manufacturing industrial companies in China to achieve the path from green purchasing to green supply chain management.

Full textAbstract:
Environmental pollution and climate change have become one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century, which have forced governments and businesses alike to assess the environmental impacts of their activities. Among the sectors, construction is the single largest contributor of global carbon emissions, resource, water and energy consumption, and landfill waste. With environmental implications expected to be even greater in the future due to increasing urbanisation and the consequent increase in construction activities, curtailing the negative environmental impacts of the sector or greening the construction sector, therefore, has become critical. Unfortunately, any limited efforts to date to address these concerns have been less fruitful as most of these efforts have been largely fragmented and disjoint, addressing issues in an ad-hoc, standalone manner such as green design, green purchasing, green construction or environmental management systems; or management issues such as ‘drivers’ and/or ‘barriers’ affecting these specific green practices; or specific performance implications from these green practices such as environmental and/or financial performance. This lack of holistic orientation also carries the risk that practitioners and policymakers could mistakenly be addressing the wrong issues and neglecting aspects that have more significance in greening the sector. Given the environmental consequences of a construction project are typically dispersed across the different stages in the supply chain, i.e. from design through to end-of-life, and that several stakeholders, each with their own conflicting interests, are involved in the different stages of the construction supply chain, greening the sector, therefore, requires a supply chain wide focus, inclusive of all key stages and stakeholders (Developers, Architects/Consultants, Contractors and Suppliers). Therefore, the application of green supply chain management (GSCM) or incorporating environmental concerns into supply chain management (a systematic and integrated approach) makes perfect sense for greening the construction sector. GSCM contributes to greening by promoting supply chain-wide implementation of efficient and effective green practices by means of managing the ‘drivers’ and ‘barriers’ affecting its implementation to achieve the desired environmental performance along with short-term economic/cost performance and long-term organisational performance. This formed the focus of this study, wherein, it explores the application of GSCM in greening the construction sector. The study also explores the impact of firm size and ownership on GSCM, because, given the inherent complexity of the construction supply chain, i.e. it comprises of hundreds of firms with varying size and ownership, a comprehensive greening of the construction supply chain would not be possible without managing the impact of size and ownership on GSCM. Finally, given that GSCM understanding would be of limited value unless accompanied by general principles (theories) that inform wider application, the study utilises several established and emerging management/organisational theories to underpin the multifaceted reality of GSCM. In short, each of these GSCM aspects, i.e. green practices, green drivers and barriers, and green performance; and their interrelationships; and the impact of firm size and ownership on GSCM are investigated as separate research questions in this thesis. UAE is carefully chosen as the research setting for this GSCM study mainly because it gives an exemplary opportunity to understand the competing actions required from governments and construction sector firms to lessen the environmental impacts associated with the rapid urbanisation and economic modernisation. Specifically, on one side, the UAE construction sector is growing at more than 9% per annum, while on the other side several green initiatives are considered by practitioners and policymakers to reduce its environmental burden on the country. Therefore, the related findings are expected to be more practically relevant to comprehend the challenges and opportunities in the application of GSCM. A pragmatic, multi-methodology, sequential exploratory approach (i.e. the qualitative investigation followed by quantitative investigation) was employed to comprehensively answer the research questions. For the qualitative investigation, both semi-structured interviews (to explore and define each GSCM themes/sub-themes), and focussed, in-depth interviews (to gain operational/implementation level understanding) were employed. For the quantitative investigation, a structured country-wide survey was employed. The findings derived from the multiple methods (interviews and survey), were then combined to develop a comprehensive picture on the various facets of GSCM in relation to greening the construction sector. With regard to the findings, the important/relevant core green practices (or environmental activities/initiatives undertaken across each of the distinct functional stages of the supply chain) identified for greening the construction sector include green design, green purchasing, green transportation, green construction/manufacturing and end of life green practices, whereas the important/relevant facilitating green practices (or activities/initiatives undertaken to build internal environmental resources and capabilities) identified for greening the construction sector include environmental management systems (EMS) and ISO 14001 certification, cross-functional integration, environmental auditing, environmental training and green-related research and development. The extent of implementation of these practices, in general, was found to be the highest among Suppliers, moderate among Architects/Consultants and Contractors, and lowest among Developers. The important/relevant external green drivers (external forces/pressures that coerce firms to implement green practices) identified include government green-related regulation, supply chain stakeholder pressure, competitor pressure and buyer/end-consumer pressure, whereas internal green drivers (internal forces/pressures that motivate firms to implement green practices) identified include environmental commitment of firms, enhance reputation/brand image, to reduce costs and to enter foreign markets. The relevance/importance perceived by stakeholders shows that all stakeholders except Developers are more motivated internally than externally to engage in green practices. On the other hand, the important/relevant external green barriers (external forces that hinder or restricts firms from implementing green practices) identified include shortage of green professionals, shortage of green suppliers, tight and inflexible stakeholder deadlines and lack of stakeholder collaboration, whereas internal green barriers identified include high cost of implementation and lack of knowledge and awareness. The relevance/importance perceived by stakeholders shows that Developers and Suppliers perceive internal barriers more than external, while Architects/Consultants and Contractors were found to perceive external and internal barriers to be more or less the same. The study also identified several important/relevant performance measures to capture environmental, economic/cost and organisational performance that firms could operationalise to capture the benefits of green practices. With regard to actual improvement in these performances, all three performances were found to be relatively lower for Developers, while moderate to high for other stakeholders. With regard to the relationship between GSCM aspects, the extent of the impact of green drivers on green practices was found to far exceed the impact of green barriers on green practices, which self-explains the moderate extent of implementation of green practices across stakeholders. Moreover, it was found that both core and facilitating green practices have a significant and positive impact on three dimensions of performance across stakeholders, and the strength of impact, in general, ranged from moderate to high. Furthermore, facilitating green practices was found to have a strong and positive impact on core green practices. Finally, firm size and ownership was found to have a significant impact on the various GSCM aspects.The study provides practitioners (across all stakeholders) with a potential stock of core and facilitating green practices that they could implement as well as potential performance measures they could operationalise in their respective firms. Also, it helps them to gauge the green drivers and barriers affecting their green practices implementation.

Full textAbstract:
Performance measurements evolve as new challenges are met and the natural environment is one of the biggest challenges facing society and the evolution of performance measurement today. Consequently, a cross-disciplinary interest in the field of green supply chain management (GSCM) has grown amongst researchers and practitioners in recent years because of climate change issues, diminishing raw materials, excess waste production, increasing levels of pollution and because it is a source of competitive advantage. Yet, there has been little work done in developing and incorporating green measures into the existing bank of supply chain performance measures. Only 18 articles have been published in the last 18 years on green supply chain performance measurement (GSCPM). The aim of this thesis is to address this challenge by empirically developing and testing green performance measures for the supply chain. Based on an extensive literature review, five research questions were proposed for this thesis to address gaps in the body of knowledge. This is a new area of theory development and demanded theoretical and methodological triangulation to maximize the amount of data collected to explore the research phenomena from different perspectives. The study used a rigorous three-phased methodological framework originally developed by Churchill (1979) for items and scales development. The first phase comprised generating variables and constructs from the extant literature and focus groups. The second phase involved testing these items and constructs in a survey. Finally, a focus group was conducted in Phase Three to verify and validate the overall results. The thesis proposes a battery of 29 GSCPM variables and 12 GSCPM constructs that can be used by organisations to measure their impact on the environment. The study found that GSCPM variables used by organisations, such as usual performance measures, remain primarily driven by cost. Furthermore, there are significant differences in the capabilities and the way in which organisations view the importance, enablers, barriers and benefits of GSCPM. This thesis contributes to knowledge by proposing a universal set of GSCPM variables and reporting tools that organisations can use to manage their GSCPM. Finally, the use of methodological pluralism in this research has helped to provide a more complete picture of this phenomenon and represents one of only a few studies which have explored GSCPM in this way.

Full textAbstract:
Introduktion- Den miljömässiga varianten av Supply chain management, även kallad Green supply chain management, har som mål att minimera eller eliminera negativ miljöpåverkan. Onödiga transporter innebär negativ miljöpåverkan. Trots transporters påverkan på miljön, finns lite forskning om samband mellan transporter och Green supply chain management. Syftet med studien är därför att utforma en strategi för att uppnå Green supply chain management och minska på onödiga transporter med fokus på osäkerhet, variation och transparens. Metod- För att möjliggöra ett besvarande av syfte har en fallstudie bedrivits med hjälp av litteratur och ett fallföretag. Resultat, analys, diskussion och slutsats - Fallföretaget påverkas negativt av osäkerhet, variation och har även brist på transparens i försörjningskedjan. Onödiga transporter genom återkallningar skapas på grund av kvalitetsbristerskapar hinder för en effektiv supply chain management strategi. Ett systematiskt tillvägagångssätt genom PDCA kan hjälpa fallföretaget att skapa en stabil grund och uppnå Green supply chain management. Det är viktigt att Plan-Do-Check-Act bedrivs med god kommunikation för att skapa transparens, hindra osäkerhet och variation. Green supply chain management kan uppnås genom en kombination av ISO 9001, ISO 14001 och Lean. Dessa delar ska bedrivas med Plan-Do-Check-Act för att minska på onödiga transporter.Introduction- The environmental variant of Supply Chain Management, also known as the Green supply chain management, aims to minimize or eliminate negative environmental impacts. Unnecessary transports are a negative environmental aspect and means negative environmental impact. Although transports affect the environment, there is little research on the relationship between transport and Green supply chain management. The purpose of the study is therefore to design a strategy for achieving Green supply chain management and reduce unnecessary transport with a focus on uncertainty, variability and transparency. Method- To enable the answering of purpose, a case study conducted with the help of literature and a case company. Results- The case company is negatively affected by uncertainty, variety, and also by a lack of transparency in the supply chain. Unnecessary transportations through recalls are created because of quality defects. This creates obstacles for a supply chain management strategy to be more effective. A systematic approach by Plan-Do-Check-Act can help the case company to create a stable basis and achieve green supply chain management. It is necessary to conduct Plan-Do-Check-Act with good communication in order to create transparency, prevent uncertainty and variation. Green supply chain management can be achieved through a combination of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and Lean. These parts should be conducted with PDCA, which can reduce unnecessary transportation.

Dissertação para obtenção de grau de Mestre em Engenharia e Gestão Industrial (MEGI)Supply Chain Management has become a tactic asset for the current global competition situation. Innovative strategies such as Lean, Agile, Resilient and Green emerged as a response, requiring high levels of cooperation and of great complexity. However, the strategic alignment of operations with partners in supply chains is affected by lack of interoperability. The present work provides a framework to enhance SC competitiveness and performance by assessing interoperable SCM Practices applied in automotive industry. Through a pragmatic interoperability approach, this methodology describes in detail the form of application using analytical hierarchical process (AHP) and Fuzzy sets as support decision making models, ensuring a systematic approach to the analysis of interoperability with appropriate criteria for assessment of situations that require high levels of collaboration between partners. Through a case study in a Portuguese automaker, it was possible to test the methodology and analyse which areas lack interoperability in the implementation of SCM practices.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to explore green sourcing in supply chain management by the example of two large organisations. Design/methodology/approach – This study followed an iterative cycle of reviewing literature and empirics as well as conducting analysis and discussion. The literature gathered for this thesis was collected by reviewing ten academic journals as well as publications found through database search. Empirical data was collected from two case organisations, ABB Robotics and Vattenfall, through interviews, internal documents and public statements. The empirical data was analysed separately for each case organisation by use of an analytical model constructed from the literature findings. Thereafter, similarities and differences between the organisations were discussed as well as the thesis’ contributions to green sourcing literature. Findings – We found that although both ABB Robotics and Vattenfall incorporate environmental sustainability to some degree in their respective sourcing processes, their individual performance differed. The main difference between the organisations was found to be the visibility and managerial drive towards the realisation of environmental goals within the sourcing department. From our observations, it was found that Vattenfall to a large extent embraced their environmental goals and that these trickled down to the sourcing department. ABB Robotics on the other hand had numerous environmental goals on corporate level but these lacked visibility in the sourcing department. In comparison to our literature findings is was found that for environmental goals, Vattenfall was in more alignment with the suggestions by the scholars. For the other identified areas important for green sourcing, that being supplier assessment, supplier performance evaluation and supplier collaboration, both organisations were more aligned with our literature findings. Practical implications – In this thesis, four primary elements of green sourcing have been identified: environmental goals, supplier assessment, supplier performance evaluation, and supplier collaborations. Out of these, we found that the first element, environmental goals, is an enabler for the other elements of green sourcing to further evolve and is therefore essential for green sourcing. Originality/value – By looking beyond public statements and policies of environmental sustainability, this thesis has provided a unique insight in how two large organisations have implemented environmental sustainability in practice, from a sourcing perspective.

South Africa has complex environmental and economic challenges as part of its sustainable development. These include depleting natural resources, significant waste generation and high carbon emissions, compounded with an economic growth rate below global growth. Organisations within the supply chain play a key role in purchasing and distributing goods that underpin the economy. Waste generation and carbon emissions drive climate change which has been singled out as a significant risk to humanity. The negative environmental impacts of climate change, resource depletion, waste generation and carbon emissions have compounded the bleak economic outlook for South Africa. Developed countries have implemented circular economy policies that support green innovation within the supply chain. The circular economy is a model that supports waste reduction while improving the economy and the use of natural resources through reducing, reusing and recycling at a basic level. The research area of circular economy in the supply chain is trending globally and is still relatively new from a South African context, particularly around circular business models in the supply chain. Circular economy principles work hand in hand with driving green innovation, as the technology allows for the identification of new ways to reduce waste and cost across the supply chain. The research is qualitative and exploratory within the area of supply chain, with a focus on green innovation and circular economy from a developing country perspective. It intends to understand the key drivers that contribute to companies adopting green innovation strategies. The benefit of the research is for practitioners to understand how South Africa can achieve green in the supply chain and overcome economic issues by adopting circular economy principles.
Twelve semi-structured interviews were carried out with managers of large organisations that have embarked on green initiatives within the supply chain. The study established commonalities with existing research on external and internal drivers supporting green innovation and the circular economy in the supply chain. The research established new insights around South African organisations' differences in the supply chain, particularly around operational risk being a critical driver considering water scarcity and electricity instability. It also identified internal drivers to changing business models from linear to circular, particularly around sustainability strategies, network collaboration, sustainability culture and changing the way companies are measured. Recommendations support how business models could be adapted to drive circular business models across supply chain organisations in South Africa.Mini Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2021.

Full textAbstract:
Organisations are under pressure to involve environmental concern in their supply chains, right from the material sourcing to the design and construction, followed by marketing and end of life of the building including dismantling and getting rid of the remaining building. Over the last two decades, green supply chain has emerged as an important concept for construction industry to mitigate the environmental impact of buildings and the construction processes. UAE has seen increased construction activity in the last two decades and many national and multinational organizations have started construction activities. Increase construction activities have resulted in an increased emphasis on greening of the supply chains. A list of variables that act as drivers for green supply chains were documented. This list was used in administering a questionnaire, which further utilised factor analysis. Factor analysis and interviews of experts resulted in the development of a maturity model. The maturity model was further tested using three case studies. Further, the developed model is used for comparative evaluation of firms green supply chain through fuzzy multi criteria decision making model based on TOPSIS. This research highlights the growing importance of environmental issue in UAE construction sector and the initiatives taken to green the supply chain. This study will help the industry practitioners to understand the importance of various drivers and barriers in greening the supply chain. The results will motivate them to adopt these practices. Developed model will help the industry in evaluating their green supply chain practices and proposed multi criteria decision making model will help the sector in benchmarking their green supply chain.

Small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) make up between 95%-99% of private businesses worldwide, employ 60%-70% of the workforce in most countries and generate 33% of the GDP. SMEs account for a high percentage of the world's pollution because of the significant numbers of SMEs, and their accumulative impact. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore strategies SME supply chain leaders used to implement green supply chain management (GSCM) policies that increase productivity and decrease losses. The origin of GSCM originates from the research of Ayres and Kneese. A purposeful sample of 3 SME construction companies was selected because of their success in creating strategies resulting in increased productivity and decreased financial losses in Summit County, Ohio. Company documents were reviewed and, member checking, artifact analysis, and reflective journaling were utilized to validate the dependability of the findings. Four main themes were identified: (a) onboarding, (b) fiscal management, (c) policy, and (d) infrastructure. The descriptions provided by SME leaders contributed to exploring the phenomenon in an actual setting. The results of this multiple case study may provide strategies leaders can use to increase productivity, minimize losses, and contribute to social change by decreasing hazardous chemicals and employee health problems.

Il rapporto di sfruttamento tra umanità e ambiente ha oggi come conseguenza negativa la problematica dell’inquinamento in continuo peggioramento. L’elevata quantità di sostanze inquinanti ha messo in crisi tutto il sistema naturale. È fondamentale convertire l’attuale modello di sviluppo economico, e soprattutto in poco tempo. La sostenibilità viene indicata come una possibile soluzione per attenuare l’aggravarsi della situazione. Lo sviluppo sostenibile è necessario soprattutto per i Paesi in via di sviluppo, in quanto essi hanno il diritto di continuare sulla strada dello sviluppo economico, ma nel contempo devono contenere od eliminare gli impatti negativi sull’ambiente. La Cina, grazie all’enorme quantità di esportazioni, oggi è diventata il fornitore di tutto il mondo. Inoltre oggi si sente molto parlare dell’inquinamento in Cina oltre alla forte crescita economica. Monitorare il comportamento delle aziende operanti nel mercato cinese e possibilmente cercare di farle diventare sostenibili potrebbe essere un buon obiettivo. In questa tesi l’analisi si basa su uno degli strumenti verso la sostenibilità, cioè quello di rendere la catena di fornitura sostenibile – Green supply chain management. La posizione presa da questa tesi è che le aziende moderne come obiettivo non devono raggiungere solo la crescita economica, bensì realizzare l’obiettivo della sostenibilità nella gestione. Da alcuni casi aziendali, si rileva che le aziende cinesi, in base alle proprie dimensioni, possono essere divise in due categorie, e che ci sia una tendenza di avvicinamento tra esse. La teoria verrà successivamente approvata da alcuni numeri forniti da un’autorevole indagine. Nella parte finale verranno fornite alcune riflessioni, e dalle esperienze delle aziende di successo si cercherà di individuare possibili soluzioni per le aziende che sperano in un sviluppo futuro sostenibile.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainability become a new challenge for various dimensions, not only in academic area, but also has managerial perspectives. Consequently, to achieve competitive advantage, leading to sustainable performance, organisations need to explore what are the causes of the sustainable performance of the firm and how to manage them. Currently, natural environmental impact is more likely to be a critical problem for any organisation. Based on natural resource-based view of the firm (Hart, 1995), natural environmental issues can make a firm obtain new potential specific resources that are difficult to imitate by other organisations. Such resources can be created by supply chain integration (SCI) and also green supply chain management (GSCM) practices. However, there is inconclusive about the impact of SCI and GSCM practices on sustainable performance, in terms of evidence environmental and economic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this study is to understand the relationship between SCI, GSCM practices and sustainable performance, both direct and indirect effect of the relations. Base on survey method, this research used manufacturers in Thailand as a sample of the developing countries to collect data which come from multiple manufacturing industries. The research methodology used the Churchill (1979) framework for specifying and generating measured items. Exploratory factor analysis was employed to extract the main factors before using structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the hypotheses. Measurement model was firstly used to evaluate all measures and structural model was employed to test theoretical hypotheses. The empirical results of this research conclude that SCI has no direct positive impact on sustainable performance. Nevertheless, environmental and economic outcomes can be achieved by mediating effect of GSCM practices. Therefore, this research contributes to theoretical and practical view. In academic perspective, researchers can extend this finding to study on this issue further, while in managerial view, practitioners or managers can apply this result to their business strategies to improve their organisational performance.

Full textAbstract:
The expansion of supply chains into global networks has drastically increased the distance travelled along shipping lanes in a logistics system. Inherently, the increase in travel distances produces increased carbon emissions from transport vehicles. When increased emissions are combined with a carbon tax or emissions trading system, the result is a supply chain with increased costs attributable to the emission generated on the transportation routes. Most traditional supply chain design models do not take emissions and carbon costs into account. Hence, there is a need to incorporate emission costs into a supply chain optimization model to see how the optimal supply chain configuration may be affected by the additional expenses.
This thesis presents a mathematical programming model for the design of green supply chains. The costs of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions were incorporated in the objective function, along with the fixed and transportation costs that are typically modeled in traditional facility location models. The model also determined the unit flows between the various nodes of the supply chain, with the objective of minimizing the total cost of the system by strategically locating warehouses throughout the network.
The literature shows that CO2 emissions produced by a truck are dependent on the weight of the vehicle and can be modeled using a concave function. Hence, the carbon emissions produced along a shipping lane are dependent upon the number of units and the weight of each unit travelling between the two nodes. Due to the concave nature of the emissions, the addition of the emission costs to the problem formulation created a nonlinear mixed integer programming (MIP) model.
A solution algorithm was developed to evaluate the new problem formulation. Lagrangian relaxation was used to decompose the problem by echelon and by potential warehouse site, resulting in a problem that required less computational effort to solve and allowed for much larger problems to be evaluated. A method was then suggested to exploit a property of the relaxed formulation and transform the problem into a linear MIP problem. The solution method computed the minimum cost for a complete network that would satisfy all the needs of the customers.
A primal heuristic was introduced into the Lagrangian algorithm to generate feasible solutions. The heuristic utilized data from the Lagrangian subproblems to produce good feasible solutions. Due to the many characteristics of the original problem that were carried through to the subproblems, the heuristic produced very good feasible solutions that were typically within 1% of the Lagrangian bound.
The proposed algorithm was evaluated through a number of tests. The rigidity of the problem and cost breakdown were varied to assess the performance of the solution method in many situations. The test results indicated that the addition of emission costs to a network can change the optimal configuration of the supply chain. As such, this study concluded that emission costs should be considered when designing supply chains in jurisdictions with carbon costs. Furthermore, the tests revealed that in regions without carbon costs it may be possible to significantly reduce the emissions produced by the supply chain with only a small increase in the cost to operate the system.

Given the trend of environmental issue and green tendency, consumers demand green products and manufacturing in recent ten years. To meet those directives, many well-known companies start to establish their own standards to restrain suppliers and lower the risk of amends after the directives became effective. In the supply chain of global industry, Taiwan plays an important role on OEM and ODM process, therefore, it must take necessary measures on parts and assembled modules to meet buyers’ (well-known companies) request of green standards and keep our electronics advantages in global supply chain. In face of complicated and various sub-suppliers, the vendors of small and medium sized parts are confronting oncoming development and green attacks. For Taiwan enterprises, how to meet related regulations and deploy cooperation required by customers are greatly urgent matters. This study mainly collects related data of photoelectric industry and understand how they boost and operate green chain between suppliers and customers by case study and interview in depth.

With greater calls for environmental protection worldwide, countries have implemented rules such as RoHS, EuP, WEEE and REACH to regulate components of product materials and chemicals. Taiwanese firms should actively promote environmental protection and coordinate suppliers in various regions so as to improve green supply chain performance given that firms in supply chain are located around the world. This study, using qualitative interview, interviewed 7 leading Taiwanese companies that actively promote green supply chain and listed integration and coordination mechanisms often used. Integration and coordination of green supply chain used in Taiwan included: (1) setting up units responsible for promoting greening; (2) holding supplier meeting; (3) audit system of suppliers; (4) establishment of inter-departmental unit; (5) training for suppliers; (6) assisting suppliers; and (7) setting up information-sharing system. Location in supply chain, supply chain relationship and industry sectors determine uses and varieties of integration and coordination of green supply chain. They are as follows: 1.Location in supply chain: downstream firms have more and often use integration and coordination of green supply chain than upstream ones. 2.Supply chain relationship: central factories have more and often use integration and coordination of green supply chain than satellite ones. 3.Industry sectors: emerging strategic industries have more and often use integration and coordination of green supply chain than traditional ones.

The global warming caused by extreme weather, increasingly strict environmental regulations from government, and increased consumer awareness of energy conservation and carbon reduction, has forced enterprises to coordinate and increase synergies throughout green supply chains. The purpose of this study is exploring the efficiency differences between the analysis of passive and active promotion of green products in the two layer channel structure of a single manufacturer and single retailer. In this study, the retailer is the leader of a channel. It determines the ratio of revenue sharing; the manufacturer is the follower that determines the price and quantity of products. This study found that in the supply chain, profit is considerably affected by eco-friendly design level of products. In other words, when the active promotion of green products eco-friendly design level of products is twice of passive promotion, the profits as a result of active promotion will be higher than passive promotion. However, passive promotions yield higher profits when the level of active promotion reaches four times the level of passive promotion. When ?T A d 0.643, the profit of active promotion is higher than passive promotion and the opposition when ? A d 0.643. Thus, the government should establish adequate reward and penalty measures while anticipating and encouraging businesses to contribute to environmentally friendly design of products.

This paper deals with a strategic issue of green supply chains with remanufacturing by developing analytic models under cooperative and competitive settings. The research formulates the profit-maximization problem and provides the cross-enterprise dynamic joint decisions using calculus-based formulation coupled with dynamic programming for a single-retailer and single-supplier channel under cooperative and competitive game settings over a multi-period planning horizon. We examine the dynamic performance of vertically decentralized two-echelon channel coordination for deteriorating goods under a RMI system. We also used “revenue sharing” as the channel coordination mechanism on our research. Our analysis reveals that the strategic decision depends critically on the costs of remanufacturing and the competition intensity between the two versions.

This study examines the problem of optimal green channel decisions: price, quantity, and revenue-sharing allocation for new and remanufacturing goods with stochastic demand under cooperative and competitive settings in retailer-centric business-to-business electronic markets and traditional markets. A retailer, acting as a leader in the green channel, offers a manufacturer (original equipment manufacturer/ third-party independent operator) a consignment contract, which specifies the percentage allocation of sales revenue between her and the manufacturer. The manufacturer, acting as a follower in the green channel, retains ownership of the new and remanufacturing goods and decides the goods quantities and retail prices. The numerical results show that the solution generated by the competitive setting outperforms that by the cooperative setting in maximizing the channel profit under consignment contracts in electronic markets for remanufacturing goods.

In recent years, the environmental awareness have raised up. Companies must comply with environmental protection regulations and take the environmental concept into the supply chain management. Hence, knowledge sharing and environmrantal collaboration between supply chain partnerers become the most important factor of performance improvement. Previous studties focused on practical managment tools and information platform for green supply chain management, and vendor evaluation. In this study, we explored social capital’s contribution to green sulppy chain performance, and utilized the three constructs of social capital (structual, relational, congnitive dimensions) to analyze which is the main factor to improve green supply chain performance. The empirical results of this study reveled that there is good reliability and validity in measurement model, and also showedin the results of structual model: (1) both structual and congnitive dimentions of social capital positively affect knowledge sharing；(2) congnitive dimention of social capital positively affects environmental collaboration；(3) both knowledge sharing and environmental collaborartion between the firm and its partners positively affect green supply chain performance；(4) knowledge sharing and green supply chain performance is moderated by environmental collaboration.

Firms are under heavy pressure to improve supply chain planning and performance because of factors such as increasing uncertainty and competition. Manufacturers have adopted a variety of innovative technological and process-based solutions to obtain and sustain competitive advantage over their competitors. Lean supply chain is an extension of the concept and technology of the Toyota Production Model. The core claim emphasizes the need to completely eliminate all waste. With less effort, less equipment, less time and space to produce products that meet customer needs and enhance the profitability. The EU has successively established three major environmental laws and regulations since July 2006 and environmental protection awareness and concept of sustainable development have improved in recent years which lead to the introduction and implementation of green supply chain. The integration of environmental issues with lean manufacturing and supply chains is still a major challenge for management research. This paper aims to focus on the combined synergies of knowledge management capability on operational and environmental performance in manufacturing enterprises by executing lean and green supply chain practices. A questionnaire based survey was performed. Data from top 1000 Manufacturing Enterprises by CommonWealth magazine of Taiwan in 2017 were collected through mail survey. The results indicate that knowledge acquisition and knowledge conversion are positively related to lean and green supply chain practices which, in turn, has a positive effect on operations and environmental performance . Therefore, managers need to facilitate dynamics of knowledge acquisition, conversion , and then utilize it to cultivate a better synergies of Lean and Green supply chain practices, which in turn will result in favorable operations performance.

The logistics is undergoing radical change. Recently, it has become an inevitable trend for the logistic industries to carry out Green Supply Chain (GSC). GSC is well-known as that buyer companies requiring a certain level of environmental responsibility in core business practices of their suppliers and vendors. Many companies have internal standards, policies, and/or environmental management systems that govern their own environmental performance and efficiency. Nowadays, in order to integrate the GSC efficiently, information management and exchange are imperative. Nevertheless, information on internet suddenly explodes and it is almost time-consuming to find relevant and interesting information. The increasing difficulty in managing information has become one of the most common problems. That’s the reason why the idea of GSC Portal was born in this context. The proposed methodology of this research is to develop a Design Methodology for Green Supply Chain Portal. And we use Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to deploy the voice of the user and decomposed process/data flow and modules then describe their relationships. We also apply Business Process Management (BPM) techniques including extended Event-driven Process Chain Diagram (eEPC), Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Data Flow Diagram (DFD) to describe the procedures how the information produced within the GSC Portal. We analyze and design the portal in this way to define its requirements and functions. Our proposed methodology can provide the functions as follows: (1) Integrating physical Green Supply Chain processes and information portal processes to improve the efficiency, (2) Improving communications among the stakeholders involved in the Green Supply Chain, and (3) Improving the match of deployed and configured GSC Portal capability to reduce the cycle time from preparation to go live.

Green supply chain management (GSCM) has become an important issue for enterprises. However, little attention has been paid to measure the actual effectiveness of green supply chain management system (GSCMS). Furthermore, in view of the lack of a method of indicator development. This study referenced Modified Delphi Method to develope a "three-stage" procedure to elicit the proper items and built a GSCMS evaluation indicators. The research process has following important steps. First, we adopted DeLone & McLean information systems success model, characteristics of supply chain management system, green supply chain management system and green information technology for scale development. Second, some experts and scholars related to the field of green supply chain management system were interviewed. Final, after taking the suggestions and corrections from those experts and scholars and data analysis, this study proposed 4 dimensions as “Information Quality”, “System Quality”, “Service Quality” and "Environmental Quality", total 43 evaluation indicators of GSCMS. The results may provide the enterprises in setting up GSCMS to evaluate the effectiveness. For the enterprises that have not yet set up the system, the results could serve as the reference while purchasing or setting up.

Due to recent worldwide environmental and green products consciousness, a systematic analytical process to evaluate various alternative courses of action with the objective of developing an efficient way to employ scarce resources is critical. The pressures from WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substance) and European Union have played an important part in enhancing the greening of products. After December 31, 2006, each person of WEEE main members has to recovery at least 4 kilograms recycling quantities every year. Therefore, each enterprise must achieve the recovery system in order to conform to the WEEE instruction. Increasing environmental consciousness, limited of natural resources to manufacture new products, recovery quotas to avoid disposal, manufacturers assigned to be responsible for used products, and materials value of components included in returned products are incentives for product recovery. Reuse of products and materials is not a new phenomenon. Waste paper recycling, metal scrap brokers, and deposit systems for soft drink bottles are the examples that have been around for a long time. In these cases recovery of the used products is economically more attractive than disposal. In this study we discuss the newly procured and reusable items that have imperfect quality. The model assumes that a fixed proportion of the used products are collected from customers and later recovered for reuse. The recovered products are regarded as perfectly new ones. The object is to obtain the economic order quantity (EOQ) for procurement and the optimal inventory level of recoverable items to start the recovery process simultaneously. The formulation treats the two inventories as interdependent parts of a total system, and jointly determines the optimal lot sizes for the recovery and the procurement process. A mathematical model and program are developed to derive the minimal cost, and finally numerical example and sensitivity analysis are given to analyze the key factors in the system.

The rapid development of technology to enhance the quality of human life, the relative number of human and ecological impact of pollutants even endanger human generations of sustainable development, halt the pursuit of human technological development the way, to rethink the issue of environmental protection. However, in advanced countries due to be environmentally friendly and energy-saving issues involving electronic technology products to be strict laws to restrict and seems to have become non-tariff barriers, such a force than the visible more powerful. the quality of the environment will be included in the original concept of the supply chain, from the green supply chain management point of view. Green discussed the operation of the supply chain structure, management information systems and forms management, a means of preserving product life cycle stages of stability operations so that their products can be sustained with environmental norms. And green consumption was regarded as a global sustainable development goals of the important work Alliance formed to promote green procurement of green products already have is the international trend, stressing the consumption of clean, recyclable, the value of natural resources, to reduce damage to the environment. And gradually developed countries and issues related to the Environmental Protection Act, which, the most far-reaching impact and the most urgent is the development of the EU WEEE and RoHS Directives. In response to these directives, the large international brands started to establish its own system to standardize the upstream suppliers, Act came into effect to reduce the risk of return. Most of Taiwan's manufacturers for Original Equipment Manufactures (OEM) / Own Designing & Manufacturing (ODM) The buyer must accept the natural (brand Dachang) demands, which is that it is currently facing manufacturers of the most important topics. This study in the strategic partnership relations, vendor selection methods of the in-depth exploration. Manufacturers can understand in choosing vendors cooperation relations, in addition to the traditional cost, quality, lead-time considerations, also need to consider that the supplier's financial situation, organizational culture, and the supplier's strategic direction. So from a "quality management," "finance-related factors", "supplier of organizational culture," "process capability," "service factors" and "environmental performance factors" such as the six dimensions of the project, further to AHP (AHP) to set the assessment of the relative weight, Green set out to assess the criteria for suppliers. After the results of this study, with "quality management factor", the most important "factor in environmental performance," Whitty time dimensions. By the departments of the results are still based on "quality management factor", the most important But in the "environmental performance factors" dimensions, various departments, perhaps because of the different functions of different products and the results its attention to quality control in order departments, procurement departments, engineering departments, financial departments, These results indicate that "environmental performance factors" have announced a total Although visually, but there is still room for improvement. The results of this study available to the business community, as a green vendor selection important reference.

Many related strict regulations and examinations were made for environmental product because of the growing interest in environmental and green issues all over the world. For example, the European Union had published the Environmental Directives, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Restriction of Hazardous Substance (RoHS), Eco-Design Requirements for Energy Using Products (EuP) and Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) in 2006. In Taiwan, 14.48% of the exported value to Europe is electronic products. Therefore, enterprises should take these regulations into consideration when they want to export products to Europe, otherwise, the products will not be able to sale in the European market, and may even be imposed hefty fines due to violation of regulations. A supply chain system can be large in scale and complicated. Any of one supplier’s failures may affect the flow of goods and services and that will cause a costly loss and delivery delay. An enterprise should not only concern on their own produce and manufacturing, but also take a strict control on the materials and components from their supplier partners. Considering the transfer of risk from a supplier is needed. The past research on supply chain risk management tends to focus on the risk of product itself, like the risks of quality, cost, on time delivery, R&D… etc.. This paper assesses the consideration of green issue for inbound supply chain risks like regulation, risk, physical risk, litigation risk and so on. By using the analytic hierarchy process and interviews to compare the importance of risk factors, evaluates the weight of risks and make a rank to access the possible risk from the suppler. Thus to understand the importance of considering the environmental risks when a company makes a decision of chooses their supplier partner.

In the case of scientific and technological progress and rapid economic development, the ecological environment bears many burdens. In particular, the manufacturing industry is burdening the entire environment. Nowadays, enterprises are also attracted by environmental awareness, so the concept of green supply chain is included. In the business operation objectives, to reduce resource waste. Therefore, based on this concept, this paper proposes a green closed supply chain integration operation model, and integrates the manufacturing supply chain and the reverse logistics chain to form a closed supply chain, that is, the reverse supply chain for recycling used products is the same path as the manufacturing supply chain; The reverse chain is mainly to recycle the second-hand products of customers and re-manufacture, and also consider the quality of second-hand products to explore its impact on the entire model. Due to the uneven quality of the recovered products, only some of the products can be selected for re-production and manufacturing, which reduces the manufacturer's output and causes a decline in the overall net income in the supply chain. The results show that when the second-hand raw material reproducibility rate (k) is 0.9, the net income is US$6,356,992; when the second-hand raw material reproducibility rate (k) is 0.8, the net income is US$6,352,867, which can verify the prediction of this study. . In addition, in the post-adjusted model of the second-hand raw material re-production rate (k), the sensitivity analysis of the impact of government subsidies and second-hand product recovery rate on net income is analyzed, and it is known that when government subsidies increase, the net income of the supply chain will It will increase accordingly, and when the recovery rate of second-hand products increases, its net income will also increase. However, the impact of government subsidies on the net income of the supply chain is obvious. Therefore, this study knows that “government subsidies” are the key factors in the model.
