Abstract

Supply chain management is the coordination and management of a complex network of activities involved in delivering a finished product to the end-user or customer. All stages of a product's life cycle will influence a supply chain's environment burden, from resource extraction, to manufacturing, use and reuse, final recycling, or disposal. Beyond this definition with adding the “green” component, it refers to green supply chain management (GSCM) which is defined as “green procurement+ green manufacturing+ green

Distribution+ reverses logistics”. The idea of GSCM is to eliminate or minimize waste (energy, emissions, and chemical/hazardous, solid wastes) along supply chain.
