Green Supply Chain Management
Green Supply Chain Management
Green supply chain management (GSCM) is the practice of integrating ecological sustainability processes that utilizes the concept of the 4Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle, and reclaim) into the production, logistics, and end-of-life management of conventional supply networks. This new book, Green Supply Chain Management, combines the environmentally friendly aspects of technology, transportation, purchasing/procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and the supply chain.
Focusing on how green approaches improve operations in an ecological manner, the volume addresses the difficulties and rewards of integrating "green" into the fundamental processes of modern businesses. The book shows readers how to build a green supply chain by combining the efforts of operations management, purchasing, logistics, and marketing, and emphasizes looking outside the business to create long-term partnerships. The book covers key topics that include the benefits of GSCM and the factors and determinants of effective GSCM practices, along with discussions of green distribution, green procurement/purchasing, green logistics, green marketing, green warehousing, green transportation, and and more. The authors present effective green supply chain management practices being used today and explore the role of industry 4.0 software tools in creating sustainable supply chain management in emerging markets.
This book, with its comprehensive and unique take on the subject, will help readers to employ effective GSCM methods to improve their business operations in a sustainable manner.
