Growing global demand for energy, result in depletion of easily access source of fossil fuels. To fulfillment of this huge demand, oil and gas industry expanded to develop offshore oil and gas reservoirs in recent years, which made environmental management challenging. IRAN owns one of the biggest offshore gas reservoir in PERSIAN GULF with high geopolitical and financial importance. Along the ...

In this paper, a novel chance-constrained programming model has been proposed for handling uncertainties in green closed loop supply chain network design. addition to locating the facilities and establishing flow between them, also determines transportation mode facilities. The objective functions are applied minimize expected value variance of total cost CO 2 released is controlled by providin...

Supply chains are complex systems with silos of information that are very difficult to integrate and analyze. The best way to effectively analyze these disparate systems is the use of Business Intelligence (BI). The ability to make and then to process the right decision at the right time in collaboration with the right partners is the definition of the successful use of BI. This chapter discuss...

Green and lean paradigms have been adopted in a supply chain management context, but nearly always separately and with little understanding of their influence on supply chain performance and sustainable business development. This paper proposes a theoretical framework about the influence of green and lean practices on sustainable business development in a supply chain context. Green and lean up...

With the increase in environmental awareness, competitions and government policies, implementation of green supply chain management activities to sustain production and conserve resources is becoming more necessary for different organizations. However, it is difficult to successfully implement green supply chain (GSC) activities because of the risks involved. These risks alongside their resourc...

Sustainable development (SD) requires companies to take into account both the social and environmental consequences within their activities. This paper presents research about green supply chain management and highlight the differences between green supply chain and traditional supply chain management. Then, the paper analyses the sources of the risk in green supply chain according to the SD. S...

Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is one of the recent innovations for the enhancement of capabilities of Supply Chain Management. In this research, we aim to study the various activities of the Supply Chain processes of the various Indian Manufacturing Industries i.e. both SME’s {Small Manufacturing Enterprises} & Large Scale Industries & finds how much ecofriendly they are (i.e. how much %...

Almost all the countries in the world are considering how they can respond to environmental problems through using eco-friendly processes and products. The supply chain is one of the main drivers causing significant environmental issues such as emissions. As a result, the idea of green supply chains have been consider to address these environmental problems through buyer–supplier alliances. In ...

The supply chain has been traditionally defined as a one-way, integrated manufacturing process wherein raw materials are converted into final products, then delivered to customers. Under this definition, the supply chain includes only those activities associated with manufacturing, from raw material acquisition to final product delivery. However, due to recent changing environmental requirement...
