This work applies CE concepts to supply chain management to promote environmentally responsible production and consumption in unique ways. The circular economy and supply chain management must be aligned for efficient business process management. Circular supply chains are becoming more popular, but CE research in supply chain management is still in its infancy and poorly organised. To cover this gap, we provide a systematic literature review (SLR) that explains the circular supply chain movement, major theoretical frameworks and conceptual models, methodology, research trends, and critical gaps. This SLR increases theoretical and practical understanding of circular supply chain integration by bringing together a broad variety of academic papers to offer a comprehensive assessment of current research and suggestions for future study.

Investment in green technology may be useful to reduce the effects of carbon emissions on the environment. This model is designed for a two-level supply chain with a single vendor and buyer, a single non-instantaneous deteriorating product with green investment, and promotion-level-dependent demand. In a vendor-managed inventory (VMI) system, all inventory decisions are taken by the vendor instead of the buyer. In this study, we developed a VMI model and a traditional supply chain model with partial backlog shortages. The result shows that carbon emission reduction is directly proportional to green technology investment (GTI), while green technology promotion increases demand. The objective is to minimise the total cost per time unit of the supply chain and carbon emission cost with respect to the optimal green investment cost and replenishment cycle time. A numerical example and sensitivity analysis are provided for the validation of the proposed model, and the results show that the VMI model is better than the traditional supply chain model.

Under using the α-cut set of the possibilistic variables, the Poss-MOMCF problem is converted into the corresponding (α-MOMCF) and hence into the (<i>P</i>-MOMCF) problem. A necessary and sufficient condition for investigating the α-possibly optimal solution is established. The α-parametric optimal compromise solution is obtained via an interactive fuzzy goal programming approach. The stability set of the first kind under the concept of α-possibly optimal solution is characterised and analysed without differentiability. The methodology is finally illustrated using a numerical example for the sake of the study. Journal: Int.

Corporate governance is acknowledged as one of the best mechanisms to encourage companies' sustainable practices. Corporate governance mechanisms are a solution to lessen conflicts of interest between management and the company's owner by reporting sustainable practices in the company's annual reports. The purpose of this study is to create and enhance the framework of corporate governance mechanisms that can be used as factors towards sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) disclosure. By using "corporate governance mechanisms", "SSCM", "disclosure", and "agency theory" as main keywords in a database search, the comprehensive corporate governance mechanisms will lead to the research outcome about SSCM disclosure. The findings of this study indicated that all corporate mechanisms suggested are the best mechanisms to be adopted by companies to practice SSCM disclosure. Journal: Int. J. of Business Performance and Supply Chain Modelling Pages: 1-27 Issue: 1 Volume: 15 Year: 2024 Keywords: SSCM; sustainable supply chain management; company disclosure; agency theory; corporate governance; corporate governance mechanisms.

The general purpose of this study is to explore the effect of supply chain practices on a firm's performance. To realise the objective, data was gathered through structured questionnaires and analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings show a significant direct and indirect effect of supply chain practices, specifically information sharing and inventory management, on a firm's performance. Theoretically, the result provides more evidence of the effects of information sharing and inventory management in supply chain practices on a firm's performance. For practitioners in the supply chain, the findings of this study can be useful to improve information sharing and inventory management to increase a firm's performance. Journal: Int.
