Environmental pollution and clean energy is the main challenge faced by all over world. The thermal power sector is famous as the highest creator of energy, but still it is blamed for creating Environmental pollution. So, they are trying their best to help themselves on sustainability issues. Basically, Indian powerplants are not only focusing on Sustainable Issues but also trying to develop a sustainable supply chain strategy to carry out their operations while respecting social as well as environmental issues. Sustainable supply chain management(SSCM) practices of thermal power plants mostly dependent on the practice of utilizing waste, water, energy, ash, and taking care of environment in such a manner that social, environmental, and economic factors should not be affected. So, in this chapter sustainable supply chain management practices of Indian thermal power sectors are focused, analyzed, and ranked by Maut method. Simultaneously, their interrelation and correlation are found.

Flow Of Information

Research on sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) has been garnering interest because of its multi-approach in nature. SSCM has emerged as an essential method for organizations to develop and to enhance their competitive strategy through innovative ways in order to satisfy customer basic needs. It facilitates competitive advantage, faster flow of information, material, less response time, speeding up delivery action, better relation and coordination among partners, easy way of information sharing, and increasing order fulfilment rate. Implementing SSCM in organizations like thermal power plants has other benefits such as increasing attention about environmental performance intending the integration of social as well as economic performance. In this chapter, the artificial neural network (ANN) method is used to measure the customer satisfaction after implementing SSCM by thermal power industries.

Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices in thermal power plants is dependent on mostly three pillars: social factor, economic factor, and environmental factor. So, in this chapter, sustainable supply chain management of Indian thermal power sector is evaluated. Artificial neural network (ANN) method is implemented to measure whether the benefits of sustainable supply chain management are achieved after practices of sustainable supply chain management in Indian thermal power sector. This chapter also designs a framework by QFD (quality function deployment) method to find solution for some unsatisfactory measures (inputs in sustainable factors) that are not achieved against outputs. As sustainable supply chain management practices in thermal power plants are influenced by a significant number of interrelated enablers and barriers, the drivers or enablers of SSCM are taken as the design requirement to improve SSCM in thermal power industries, and the most important driver is prioritized against the unsatisfied measurands in thermal power sector.

Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) considers social, environmental, and economic dimensions of sustainability. In the context of the pandemic, organizations must face consequences striking the wider dimensions of sustainability. Thus, after the COVID-19 pandemic, how will the value chains collaborate for the transition from a traditional (linear) to a Circular Economy? From this question, in this paper, we analyze the international papers that connect sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) with circular economy (CE). We conducted an Integrative Literature Review based on the Web of Science and Scopus databases from 2010 to 2020, using the Methodi Ordinatio protocol to classify the papers. The 37 best-ranked papers were analyzed thoroughly. The results show the prominent authors, institutions, the network relationship between authors, the evolution of publications, and the leading journals. The content of these articles was categorized and discussed about the changes in the way products are manufactured, distributed, consumed, and recovered. The integration of CE principles in SSCM has been evaluated as having potential utility for industries, cities, and businesses in general. Finally, an agenda was identified with suggestions for further research, which can aid researchers and practitioners acting in this field. Managers can obtain insights to improve supply chain sustainability and consequently respond to the challenges imposed by the current pandemic.

This chapter aims to advocate Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) and sustainability in global supply chain, thus describing the overview of Supply Chain Management (SCM); the overview of SSCM; the overview of Triple Bottom Line (TBL); TBL measures in terms of social, environmental, and economic perspectives; the multifaceted applications of SSCM; the barriers to the implementation of SSCM; the overview of sustainability; the utilization of sustainability in global supply chain; and the sustainability aspects in global supply chain concerning risk management, transparency, strategy, and culture. This chapter performs a detailed literature review and uses the conceptual theory to introduce the concept of TBL to implement SSCM practices and to promote sustainability in global supply chain. The chapter argues that advocating SSCM and sustainability has the potential to enhance organizational performance and achieve business goals in global supply chain.

Interpretive Structural Model

Indian thermal power industries, being perceived as the most polluting, are experiencing tremendous pressure to implement sustainable supply chain practices. In this light, the purpose of this article is to explore the factors that initiate sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) adoption in Indian thermal power industries and understand the interrelationship existing among them. Interpretive structural modeling (ISM) technique is employed to extract the structural relationship existing among the SSCM enablers and portray the same through a hierarchical model. Further, MICMAC (Matrice d’Impacts Croisés Multiplication Appliquée á un Classement) analysis has been employed to classify the enablers by taking their driving and dependence power as a measure. Eleven SSCM enablers have been explored through an extensive review of the literature. The interpretive structural model of selected enablers indicates that SSCM adoption in thermal power plants is mainly due to “pressure from environmental advocacy groups” and “government policies and employee pressure”. Prior knowledge of these influential factors and their interdependence will help the decision makers to develop suitable strategies that would enable the organizations to reduce the impact of barriers while optimizing the benefits derived from the enablers.
