Abstract: This research is aimed to improve procurement process in supply chain management with the capability to reduce environmental effect by lean production technique, and 3Rs principle, and to improve supply chain by SCOR model. The research methodology, Value Stream Mapping (VSM)is used to analyze the development of on time delivery of suppliers, and then SCOR model is applied to improve and reduce energy consumption and recycle material in supply chain. The result has been revealed that new development process could be improved on time delivery rate from 38.51% to 93.80%. This procurement process has reduced frequency of supplier's transportation from 40 to 29 times per month so it could reduce fuel consumption on average cost of 45,230.98 Baht per year, packaging cost on average of 158,295.11 Baht per year and reduce total GHG emission about 20.896TCo₂e per year. Therefore,the new process can improve supply chain and being environmental friendly or sustainable green supply chain management.

Abstract: This paper based on the analysis of system structure, uses the method of rate-variable fundamental in-tree of system dynamics, and establishes the feedback structure model of green supply chain management (GSCM) implementation system, using the minimum Archetype Generating set to generate the small feedback archetypes, and find out the dominant factors in the system. Through analyzing the feedback archetypes of the system, put forward to the countermeasures and measures to improve the quality of GSCM implementation.

Abstract: Green procurement, as a new procurement model, has made tremendous progress in recent years, but read through the existing literatures, we found the lack of systematic collation of existing research. This paper collated and analyzed the relevant existing literature, discussed from selection and evaluation of green supplier, the influence of implementing of green procurement, countermeasures for further development of green procurement three aspects. In the end, this paper pointed out the lack of existing research and future development direction. As inductive summary of previous research results, this article maybe will inspire and guide the researchers in this area.

Abstract: The rising of environmental concerns from customers, buyers, communities, and government regulations have forced company to implement innovative and proactive corporate environmental management such as green supply chain management (GSCM) and green innovation. The aim of the paper is to discuss on the development of green innovation measurement. The data were collected through a questionnaire-based survey from two experts. The data are analyzed using Inter Rater Agreement. The findings show the kappa value is above 80 percent which indicates the perfect agreement between both of the raters on the proposed measurements for green marketing innovation and reverse logistics innovation. By including these two constructs into existing green innovation activity, it is possible to show the complete picture of green innovation to increase the performance of GSCM.

Abstract: Many organizations are developing their competencies in logistics and green supply chain management (GSCM) in order to maintain competitiveness. When an organization decides to implement GSCM, the administrators always encounter internal and external risk items or difficulties which they know even they dont know. This study therefore proposes an analytic hierarchy model to help the administrators understand the critical risk factors influence the GSCM system initiation, and an aggregative risk degree is indicated which risk grade they are in. Successful influences can help the enterprise under their competitive advantages to appropriate allocation of resources, to further improve the efficiency of resource utilization, and provide enterprises to choose business strategy of the green supply chain management has reached the goal of corporate operating performance and brand management.

Abstract: The green supply chain is subject to the attention of environmental management and supply chain management. It is contained all levels of "green" requirements from suppliers to consumers and it is a complex system. The green supply chain network formation is important to its objective. In this paper, the green supply chain network containing four levels including suppliers, manufacturers, consumers and recyclable waste collectors is designed. A multi-objective optimization model that captures the trade-off among the revenues, costs and environment influence is proposed. Then it is give an example of numerical analysis and get agents decision.

Abstract: This paper explores the mechanism between supply chain and marine environment, describes the concepts and elements of GSCM, and discusses the prospects of implementation of GSCM, conclude that GSCM would be a good practice for Chinese enterprises to improve both their economic and environmental performance, it would play an important role in marine environment management, prospectively it would be a possible way to solve the Bohai sea environmental problem in the context of land-sea overall strategy.

Abstract: This paper first introduces research about green supply chain management, and points out the differences between green supply chain management and traditional supply chain management according to the characteristics of green supply chain. Then, the paper analyses the sources of risk in green supply chain management fundamentally and constructs a risk evaluation system owing to the classification of sources. Finally paper makes a quantitative analysis to the risk of green supply chain with the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method.

Abstract: This paper, based on a survey of manufacturing firms in south and central China regions, examines the relationship among green supply chain management, competitive advantage and firm performance. By factor analyses, the scale of manufacturing firm’s green supply chain management is obtained. The results show that green supply chain management can be conceptualized as a four dimensional variable: green manufacturing, green purchasing, green distribution and green logistics. Furthermore, after testing research hypotheses by LISREL, we find that these four constructs all have significant effects on competitive advantage, and that green manufacturing and green logistics have significant effects on firm performance. The implications for our findings are also presented.

Abstract: Developing circular economy has important practical significance in improving resource development and utilization rate, relieving pressure on the environment, achieving sustainable social and economic development and realizing the harmonious development of human society. The paper starts with the definition of the connotation of circular economy and green supply chain and further compares the distinction between green supply chain and traditional supply chain. Then, analyses shall be mainly made about the contents of green supply chain management based on circular economy. Finally, the prospect shall be forecast for the implementation of green supply chain management in China.
