Industrial operations could emit harmful pollutants and degrade natural environment, thereby posing a threat to human beings and wildlife (polar bears, panda, penguins, turtles, whales, walrus etc.). Globally manufacturers must ensure that the operations be done as safely and responsibly as possible keeping in line with the three dimensions of triple bottom line. We develop a framework which analyses the various complex relationships involved in a sustainable supply chain with the aid of interpretive structural modeling. The key factors influencing sustainable supply chain were identified based on a thorough literature review and in consultation with rubber industry experts. Further MICMAC analysis was applied to identify the autonomous, linkage, dependent and independent factors.

Abstract


Industrial operations could emit harmful pollutants and degrade natural environment, thereby posing a threat to human beings and wildlife (polar bears, panda, penguins, turtles, whales, walrus etc.). Globally manufacturers must ensure that the operations be done as safely and responsibly as possible keeping in line with the three dimensions of triple bottom line. We develop a framework which analyses the various complex relationships involved in a sustainable supply chain with the aid of interpretive structural modeling. The key factors influencing sustainable supply chain were identified based on a thorough literature review and in consultation with rubber industry experts. Further MICMAC analysis was applied to identify the autonomous, linkage, dependent and independent factors.
