Green Supply Chain Management Performance Measurement System
As environmental protection, green manufacturing theory and supply chain management technology, cross-disciplinary concept of green supply chain management in the coming period will be new areas of research and development is one. And assessing the performance of green supply chain management is the process of implementing green supply chain, the key issues facing the inevitable. In this paper, reference to domestic and international research on green supply chain based on their management performance evaluation index system for the study in view.
Green supply chain concept the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) funded 400,000 U.S. dollars at the Michigan State University’s Manufacturing Research Institute (MRC) conducted a “environmentally responsible manufacturing,” Research in 1996 proposed the “green supply chain” concept, Considering manufacturing to supply chain environmental impact and optimal use of resources, the aim is to make the whole supply chain to minimize the negative impact of the environment, resource use efficiency. In the management process, the green supply chain to change the traditional open-loop supply chain structures, increase the recycling link, to achieve material and energy recovery and reuse, creating logistics “closed loop” in order to eventually achieve economic and environmental benefits for the most optimized to sustainable economic development.
Present research on the study of green supply chain is relatively dispersed, not forming a perfect theoretical system, there still is no uniform concept of green supply chain. Green supply chain is generally believed that environmental protection is a fusion of modern management thinking, from the perspective of product life cycle, the raw material for comprehensive consideration of product design and manufacturing, sales and transport, use and recycling of the whole process, adopted Green technology and supply chain management tools, product life cycle to achieve the negative impact of the environment the least resources and the highest energy efficiency and overall effectiveness of supply chain system optimal objectives.
Green supply chain management and the characteristics of the main contents of the green supply chain management set up a cross-enterprise collaboration, covering products from raw material selection to final sale of the entire process. Include green design, green materials selection, green production, green packaging and transportation, green marketing and green recycling seven links. The management architecture by Figure 1.
Currently the main view was that supply chain performance evaluation is the goal around the supply chain, each link of the supply chain as a whole (especially the core business) operating conditions and various aspects of relations between the operation carried out prior, during and after analysis evaluation. Compared with the traditional supply chain, green supply chain information sharing and flow rate demands a higher level, has the following outstanding features:
Information sharing. Suppliers, manufacturers and law enforcement agencies and data flow of information between users can be supported through the network to form a two-way interaction. Reduce the information asymmetry is conducive to the green supply chain enterprises to improve performance.
Pay attention to green standards. Faced with an increasingly serious global environmental pollution, green supply chain management pay more attention to rational use of resources, energy conservation, focusing on waste recycling and use of green standards as an important indicator of corporate assessment.
Closed-loop operation. In the production of waste generated in the process, waste and transport, storage, sales generated in the process of damaged and obsolete products by the user will be recycled for reuse, there is no end point.
Strengthen the business cooperation. Green Supply Chain emphasized the fairness of distribution of business interests, a variety of incentive and restrictive measures the effectiveness of management theory and practice has become the key issues to be resolved.
For customer needs. Supply chain formation, reconstruction must be based on market demand, customers will be driving the demand for green supply chain information flow, logistics and cash flow operations of the main driving source.
Green Supply Chain Management Performance Indicator System for enterprises to implement green supply chain management, will face a series of decision problems, no assessment can not be decision-making. Green supply chain management under the content and features, refer to ISO14000 environmental management standards series, the paper design specific green supply chain evaluation index system.
Green supply chain management in the overall performance indicators, the level of performance from the core business, supply chain management, supply chain to evaluate three aspects of the green level.
Core business performance levels can reflect the direct implementation of green supply chain management performance to bring the economic benefits of business is ultimately to promote the development of green supply chain one of the engines. Our core business performance indicators will be green supply chain management as a performance evaluation of the first two indicators, both from the perspective of financial and market evaluation.
Implementation of green supply chain management is meant by core enterprises and their suppliers, distributors close cooperation and information sharing, to further improve product quality, reduce production costs, shorten production cycle time, increased supply chain responsiveness and flexibility and improve responsiveness to meet customer demand, and ultimately enhance the entire supply chain, market competition, so should the level of supply chain management to make their own evaluation. We further from the time, customers, partnerships and cost-effective indicators of the four angles make the assessment.
As a clear concept of “green” despite a very wide application, such as green design, green manufacturing, green materials, but so far no clear definition. That the “green” is a concept closely related to the environmental impact is a relative concept. This evaluation of green supply chain is defined as the green green level or degree of environmental friendliness, that is, to quantify the extent of environmental impact. The greater the negative environmental impact of the lower level is green, otherwise higher.
Worthy of note is the green level of the green supply chain evaluation, will inevitably affect other traditional evaluation. As people of “green consciousness” of the enhanced level of performance in the examination of the core business, customer satisfaction, market share and other indicators will be subject to the impact of this awareness. In the evaluation of green supply chain cost, consider not only the cost of traditional supply chain structure, product recycling, sound choice of materials used, and the negative impact on the environment and environmental management costs and the cost should be included in the cost of the assessment areas. The cost of the expansion area will inevitably affect the entire supply chain and further benefits. At the same time as the “green consciousness” of the impact of new product development to product quality assessment will be “green” effect. Traditional supply chain performance evaluation has been difficult to reflect the development needs of today’s green era. The previous incentive target should be adjusted accordingly in order to inspire and green supply chain goals coincide.
This article provides a green supply chain management performance evaluation system, a reference is also an idea. In the specific operation, the enterprise can adjust the indicators they need to make it more operational, and be mindful of the representatives and scientific indicators
