Investigation of Strategies for Barrier Impact Mitigation in Green Supply Chain Management and Adoption of GSCM Practices

Abstract

Supply chain management involves the management of the flow of newlinegoods and services. Green supply chain management involves delivery of newlineproducts without harming the environment. There are lots of challenges in newlineimplementing green supply chain management in a workplace. Barriers exist newlinein implementing green supply chain management. There is a need for newlinemitigating barrier impacts so that green supply chain management can be newlineeffectively implemented. Effective disposal of waste, waste recycling, usage of newlinerenewable energy, water conservation and minimum use of power are some of newlinethe principles followed in green supply chain management. But these principles newlinecan be adopted only if there is cooperation between customer, enterprise and newlinegovernment. newlineSelf-awareness is the significant factor in bringing change in people s newlinemindset. There is no proper tool to assess consumer interest and attitude. newlineStrategies are not developed to mitigate barrier impacts. There is no proper newlinemaintenance of records in industry with respect to environmental degradation. newlineAfter occurrence of environmental hazards, there were talks and discussion on newlineprevention. There is a big gap in regulations followed by Government of India. newlineEnvironmental audit reports were not compiled before starting a project. newlineRegulations were not created with environmental outcomes in mind. There is newlineno establishment of proper channels for exchanging information between newlineconcerned parties. newlinevi newlineThere is a growing concern that there is no development in market for newlinerecyclable materials. Government of India must encourage enterprises to newlineidentify core areas for research. Regulatory bodies must support firms in newlineproviding subsidy. Firms must tap the potential of advanced technologies to newlinegenerate ways to achieve the zone of sustainability. newlineThis research work focuses on strategies in mitigating barrier impacts newlineand the scope of using advanced technologies in promoting green economy. newlineThe research work focuses on developing a new framework to categorize level newlineof green supply chain management implementation. It highlights the ways in newlineimproving the level of green supply chain management implementation. The newlineabove concept was checked in Indian domestic appliance industry through newlinesurvey approach. newlineThe present research work puts an eye opener on the attitudes of people newlinein buying a product. A new questionnaire is framed and survey was taken to newlineknow the opinions of general public regarding sustainable environment. newlineThe present research work developed new formulas to calibrate newlinetolerance evaluation index for an enterprise. This parameter helps an individual newlineto know the potential and threats of business management. This concept is newlinevalidated through case studies. The research work focuses on the relationship newlinebetween tolerance evaluation index and sustainable economy. newline
