Lean, green and resilient practices influence on supply chain performance: interpretive structural modeling approach
Govindan, K.; Azevedo, S.G.; Carvalho, H. & Cruz-Machado, V.
Abstract
Nowadays, companies are struggling to find
an appropriate supply chain strategy to achieve competitiveness.
Among the available strategies lean, green and
resilient are considered as a new management strategies
for the supply chain management to achieve competitiveness.
The major issues with theses strategies are the
integration and identification of critical issues related to
the strategies. This paper aims to identify the critical
lean, green and resilient practices on which top management
should focus in order to improve the performance
of automotive supply chains. The systematic
analysis of the lean, green and resilient practices is
expected to be of great value for their effective implementation
by the automotive companies. The interpretive
structural modeling approach is used as a useful methodology
to identify inter-relationships among lean, green
and resilient practices and supply chain performance and
to classify them according to their driving or dependence
power. According to this research, the practices with the
main driving power are just-in-time (lean practice),
flexible transportation (resilient practice) and
environmentally friendly packaging (green practice).
Customer satisfaction is the performance measure with
strong dependence and weak driving power; that is, it is
strongly influenced by the other researched variables but
does not affect them.
