by Helena Carvalho, Susana Garrido Azevedo, V. Cruz-Machado
International Journal of Business Performance and Supply Chain Modelling (IJBPSCM), Vol. 2, No. 3/4, 2010

Abstract: Supply chain management (SCM) is crucial for increasing organisational effectiveness, enhancing competitiveness, customer service and profitability. Actually, the lean and green philosophies have been adopted in the SCM context, but nearly always separately and with little understanding of their influence on supply chain performance. Accordingly, this paper intends to propose a conceptual model that explores the relationships between lean and green practices and supply chain performance. A set of lean and green SCM practices and a performance measurement system are suggested. The proposed performance measures intend to evaluate the practices influence on operational, economic and environmental supply chain's performance.
