Environmental control for process improvement and process efficiency in supply chain management- the case of the meat chain

摘要

Integrated process management has to deal with economic, quality and environmental aspects and link them to management decisions on the organization, control and improvement of processes. The incorporation of quality and especially environmental aspects into established economic management approaches is a complex step towards the formulation of an integrated process management concept. The consideration of nevironmental aspects asks for an extension of management initiatives from an enterprise orientation to a supply chain orientation.
