Integrating Green Supply Management Practices in a Supply Chain Planning Model

摘要

A supply management system that includes a set of green criteria, relevant supply cost drivers and indirect factor is proposed. The set of green criteria, the cost drivers, and the indirect factors form the Green Supply Management (GSM) practices. Supply cost drivers include quality, supplier's production system, and quoted cost. Indirect factors include supplier purchaser relationship; spent energy, harmful emission generation, and other green and sustainability practices of suppliers and buying company. This research integrates GSM practices in supply chain planning model to improve its green image and overall cost performances. A numerical example illustrates usefulness of the approach.
