Designing the green supply chain

Beamon, Benita M.·1999·Logistics Information Management

Abstract

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 requirements affecting manufacturing operations, increasing attention is given to developing environmental management (EM) strategies for the supply chain. This research: (1) investigates the environmental factors leading to the development of an extended environmental supply chain; (2) describes the elemental differences between the extended supply chain and the traditional supply chain; (3) describes the additional challenges presented by the extension; (4) presents performance measures appropriate for the extended supply chain; and (5) develops a general procedure towards achieving and maintaining the green supply chain.

  • Remanufacturing is an interesting prospect for furniture because furniture has the potential for a long life and is expensive to replace.

    “Remanufacturing, i.e., refurbishing and upgrading where the value of the product is maintained (Beamon, 1999), is thus an interesting prospect for furniture since it has the potential for a long life and is expensive to replace (Öhgren et al., 2019).”
  • In the CPP contract, option 1 (no action) corresponds to reuse, while options 2 (reconditioning), 3 (renovation), and 4 (re-design) are all types of upgrade and are thus remanufacturing as defined by Beamon (1999).

    “When compared to Figure 1's options available for maintenance, option 1 (no action) corresponds to reuse, while options, 2 (reconditioning), 3 (renovation), and 4 (re-design) are all types of upgrade and are thus remanufacturing as defined by Beamon (1999).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
