The ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABLE GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is one of the recent innovations for the enhancement of capabilities of Supply Chain Management. In this paper, we aim to study the various activities of the Supply Chain processes of the various Indian Manufacturing Industries i.e. both Small & Large Scale Industries and finds how much eco-friendly they are (i.e. how much % of the green factor are involved in their supply chain activities from the procurement of the raw material to the transportation of the final product to consumer) for the purpose of metering the performance of the manufacturing sectors has been studied. The major eight activities of the supply chain; namely Green Procurement, Green Manufacturing, Green Warehousing, Green Distribution, Green Packaging, Green Transportation, Life cycle Assessment, Eco-design are being covered throughout the research. From these above process activities we measured the green practise and performance of green supply chain management with the various case studies. These are helps to various crucial performance indicators & their sub-indicator’s. The research outcome based on the case study in this paper we identifies the important results that are causes impact on the environment by supply chain of manufacturing sectors. In this paper, we discussed how the various supply chain factors affecting environment. By the help of literature review we identify various Indicators & Sub-Indicators in order to find out the sustainability performance of various manufacturing sectors towards Green future
