Green Supply Chain Management Optimization Based on NSGA-II Method

Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is the adopted by many companies due to the government policies of various countries. The optimization technique can be applied in the GSCM to increase the profit of the company. In this research, Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) technique is applied for the optimization of GSCM to increase the performance. The NSGA-II method has the advantage of choosing the solution closer to the pareto-solution and uses the elitist technique to preserve the best solution in the next generation. Mathematical model of the GSCM system is established and data is provided as input to the mathematical mode. Data is generated in three types, small scale, medium scale and large scale. The proposed NSGA-II method has high performance in the optimization technique compared to existing method. The proposed NSGA-II method has the Number of Pareto Solution (NPS) metrics of 17 for large scale data, while existing method has 14.

Factors Affecting

The concept of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is achieving high level implication that can help to reduce the harmful effect of manufacturing activities on the environment. The prime objective is to identify the factors affecting implementation of green supply chain management in Tech Manora packing industry. The collection of data combined primary and secondary sources, the primary source of data is approaching with industry expert by questionnaires. The secondary source of data that is published articles related to GSCM. This study exposed that the most prominent factors affecting implementation of green supply chain management in Tech Manora industry, including lack of knowledge, top management commitment, high cost investment, lack of Government support, lack of information Technology, lack of learning capacity to evaluate GSCM. Finally this study recommends that tech menorah packing industry and its partners should organize joint seminars and workshops to sensitize the staff and suppliers on the benefits of green supply chain management. Further this study will help to the small scale industries to understand the factors affecting while implementation of GSCM.

Green supply chain management (GSCM) can be defined as the integration of environmental concerns into the inter-organizational practices of supply chain management (SCM). This paper analyzes the role of seaports in the greening of supply chains in two ways. First, the fields of action to pursue GSCM objectives in ports are identified and grouped. The proposed typology includes five groups of actions, i.e., green shipping; green port development and operations; green inland logistics; seaports and the circular economy; and, actions in the field of knowledge development and information sharing. In the empirical part of the paper, this typology is used to analyze green actions and initiatives developed by market players and port authorities in the Rhine–Scheldt Delta, the leading European port region in cargo throughput terms. This structured overview of green actions and initiatives shows that these ports are hotbeds for GSCM initiatives, but progress in some areas remains slows. The second part of the analysis focuses on the attitudes and perceptions of port-related actors towards the greening of port-related supply chains. A large-scale survey conducted in the Belgian and Dutch logistics and port industry reveals that greening has been put massively on the agenda by the firms between 2010 and now. The results give a clear view on the diverse drivers and impediments towards the greening of supply chains. In addition, one can still see a gap between words and actions. The survey further points to the role of governments as catalysts or soft enforcers for change, and calls for continuity and coherence in government policy. This paper is the first study providing a comprehensive analysis on initiatives, approaches, and perspectives of port-related actors in a specific multi-port region.
