Green supply chain management involves integrating environmental considerations into the management of materials, information and finances as products move through the supply chain. It improves operations by employing environmental solutions, increases adaptability and promotes better alignment between business processes and principles. Key areas to green the supply chain include designing eco-friendly products using less material and computational tools, implementing green purchasing policies, achieving lean and efficient production, using sustainable packaging and optimizing logistics through direct shipping and reverse logistics. Other green initiatives organizations have adopted are eco-labeling, LEED building standards and green sourcing.

1. Green Supply Chain Management - By Mr. Sandip Kadam

2. What is Supply Chain management? Supply chain management (SCM) is the oversight of materials, information, and finances as they move in a process from supplier to manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer.

4. What Is Green Supply Chain Management “ Integrating environment thinking into supply chain management, including product design, material sourcing and selection, manufacturing processes, delivery of the final product to the consumers, and end-of-life management of the product after its useful life".

5. Benefits Of Green SCM

6. Improvements By Green SCM Improves operations by employing an environmental solution Improves Agility: Green supply chain management help mitigate risks and speed innovations Increases Adaptability: Green supply chain analysis often leads to innovative processes and continuous improvements Promotes Alignment: involves negotiating policies with suppliers and customers, which results in better alignment of business processes and principles.

10. Areas to Green the Supply Chain Designing Of Products Production Material Purchase Packaging Warehousing Logistics & Reverse Logistics

12. Designing Of Products An eco friendly design approach leads 1] Less material usage 2] Minimum Operations 3] Proper use of Computational fluid dynamics tools can used to reduce the exhaust emissions at designing level

13. Purchase Implementing Green purchasing policies Technical support to vendors to reduce the emissions Guidelines for usage of less hazardous materials

14. Production Achieving Economies of scale in production Lean manufacturing approach Fuel efficient tools and machines Selecting less carbon intensive energy sources

15. Packaging Mercury free Non toxic (minimize toxicity) PVC or DEHP free Recyclability Hazardous waste considerations Durability/Reusability Energy efficient

17. Logistics Optimized Truck loads Direct shipment to the customer(Dell model) Routing of distribution Reverse Logistics

18. Summary

19. Other Initiatives Eco labeling : Labeling that identifies products that meet certain environmental criteria LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design): Design and Construction practices that significantly reduces or eliminate negative impact of building on environment Green sourcing: Sustainable procurement
