Study on Sustainable Supply Chains’ Business Impact: A Framework and Model Proposition
Subscribe/Renew Journal
This paper is an attempt to study the best practices in the supply chain and operations arena of firms across sectors, and propose a framework and a model to arrive at profitable options and alternatives towards achieving sustainability. A test of a small-scale manufacturing apparel unit is taken to check the model; it is found that sub-functions of each supply chain component by itself can be used to reduce costs and achieve sustainability. Vendor sourcing, logistics, and manufacturer’s make-or-buy decision (buy) is used to emphasise the model’s sub-functions utility. Some sub-functions are not applicable for the case in question; however, the same is aimed towards manufacturing automobile firms to deploy in future researches.
