    The continuous rise of e-commerce, driven by changing consumer behavior, has brought significant value to the supply chain. However, it also generates substantial waste through packaging, energy consumption, and vehicle usage. This research aims to mitigate the environmental impact of e-commerce by reducing its carbon footprint. A detailed green e-commerce model is proposed to lower environmental impacts, enhance economic performance, and improve competitiveness. Using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) discipline, activities are analyzed from cradle to grave, focusing on packaging, transportation, and disposal as primary sources of carbon emissions. In a case study, green strategies were implemented in key activities, demonstrating that reducing transportation distances and eliminating unnecessary packaging are critical to lowering carbon footprints. The study achieved a reduction of 0.1116 kg CO2 equivalent per transaction, totaling 297,532 t CO2 equivalent in 2023. This reduction equates to a carbon credit of 32 million THB and significant cost savings of 18 million THB by eliminating materials such as plastic bags, sleeves, and order receipts.

    In addition to playing a very important role as an intermediary between producers and end consumers, retail has an economic role, for example in terms of providing employment opportunities and contributing to GDP (gross domestic product). However, retail also faces several issues related to sustainability, such as consumerism, food waste, energy efficiency and carbon emissions in retail transportation activities. These issues are always related to energy. For example, carbon emissions from transportation activities are closely related to fuel consumption, and storing goods in cold storage is related to energy efficiency. This fact makes research on energy issues in the context of retail operations that support sustainability important. Therefore, in this paper, we comprehensively review and synthesize the literature on sustainable retailing by focusing on energy issues. The articles were collected from the Scopus database and filtered using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) framework. The analysis continued by applying k-means text mining to form research topic groups in a retail sustainability context. After that, the characteristics of the papers in each group are analyzed. The results show that articles related to sustainable retailing can be grouped into four clusters, with the following characteristics: 1) energy issues related to food waste; 2) energy issues related to cooled storage; 3) energy issues related to general energy issues and energy efficiency, including green models in retail buildings; and 4) energy issues related to transportation in retail. Finally, the research gap and potential research directions related to sustainable retailing issues are explained.

    Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a critical part of all businesses that dictates their success and customer satisfaction. The COVID-19 pandemic and other disruptions exposed critical shortcomings in SCM, such as material and labor scarcity, high freight prices, and demand forecasting complexities. These developments have called for an urgent need to explore ways to make supply chains more resilient. Digital technologies like blockchain, QR codes, and RFID tags are recognized for enhancing transparency and traceability. The paper focuses on enhancing the resilience of supply chains, emphasizing transparency and reliability. It presents a case study of a regional Australian food processing company and evaluates a blockchain-based SCM model to address its upstream supply chain and logistics issues. A smart contract of the proposed model is validated via simulation on Remix IDE. The model promotes total quality by facilitating real-time tracking for rapid fault identification, enabling timely, cost-efficient procurement of raw materials and inventory, and reducing waste. The framework enshrines the principles of the green supply chain, crucial for the SDGs of the UN’s 2030 Agenda.

    In recent years, both businesses and academia have started to recognize sustainability as a crucial aspect of gaining a competitive advantage in the supply chain. This study aims to assess the effects of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices on textile sectors’ sustainability performance. It also assesses how supply chain ambidexterity mediates the connection between SSCM, from a triple bottom line (TBL) standpoint, and firm sustainability performance outcomes. Using the resource-based view and stakeholder theories, the study employed 240 survey responses from firms operating in textile industry in Pakistan and the validity and reliability of the data were confirmed, and the hypotheses were evaluated, using PLS-SEM. The findings show that SSCM practices have a major favorable influence on Sustainability Performance (SP) and Supply Chain Ambidexterity (SCA). Furthermore, in Pakistan's textile industry, SCA acts as a mediator in the relationship between SSCM and Sustainability Performance. Through an analysis of the fundamental factors and connections that lead to the development of the intricate connection between SSCM practices from a triple bottom line viewpoint and a company's sustainability performance, this research contributes to the current literature on SSCM and SCA, especially in the context of Pakistan's textile industry, by identifying the mediation effect of SCA on SSCM and SP.

    Effective distribution center location planning is crucial in disaster management, as it significantly influences the transportation, storage, and delivery of relief supplies to affected areas. This study uses a novel multi-objective mathematical programming model to optimize the concurrent selection of main distribution centers (MDCs) and local distribution centers (LDCs). The model addresses six key objectives: minimizing distances between demand points, LDCs, and MDCs; determining optimal numbers of LDCs and MDCs; reducing unsatisfied demand; improving citizens' accessibility to LDCs; and evaluating the suitability of selected centers for humanitarian operations. A goal programming approach is used to solve the model effectively. The model's applicability and efficacy are demonstrated through a case study in Istanbul, a region prone to seismic activity, with detailed sensitivity analyses validating its performance. By tackling the complexities of distribution center location planning in disaster management, this study enhances the efficiency and resilience of humanitarian logistics, ensuring the timely and effective delivery of relief supplies during crises.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm0580437
    The blood supply chain is a complex, integrated system, involving multiple echelons that requires optimization to obtain optimal solutions. This study develops a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for blood supply chains with multi-echelons including donors, blood centers, and hospitals. The model also considers multiple blood products, vehicle routing, and transshipment between blood centers, with the aim of minimizing the total costs of the blood supply chain. The results of the computational model indicate that there is a significant relationship between the number of blood centers and the total cost of the blood supply chain. In addition, the volume of blood products distributed between blood centers is inversely proportional to the volume of blood products produced in each blood center.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm0580438
    Based on the Dynamic Capability View and sustainable supply chains in multinational enterprises (MNEs), a theoretical framework is proposed to examine how big-data analytics capabilities affect MNEs' sustainable supply chain performance through green intellectual capital and supply chain innovation. 331 completed questionnaires were collected from IT, logistics, and supply chain managers. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), the study shows that big-data analytics capabilities positively impact the development of firms' green intellectual capital. Further, green intellectual capital contributes to sustainable supply chain performance, and supply chain innovations moderate the relationship. Moreover, green intellectual capital proves advantageous in mediating the influence of big-data analytics capabilities on sustainable supply chain performance when supply chain innovations moderate this influence. The findings provide novel insights into the big-data analytics capabilities, green intellectual capital, supply chain innovations, and sustainable supply chain performance nexus in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) context. The managerial implications for promoting sustainable supply chain performance via green intellectual capital and innovations are critically examined.

    Supply chain control towers (SCCTs) are emerging as vital components of modern supply chain management (SCM). However, research on SCCTs is limited and disjointed. This paper explores critical success factors (CSFs) necessary for high-performing SCCTs and examines their impact on supply chain resilience (SCRES). Through a comprehensive systematic literature review, this research inductively identifies and classifies 14 CSFs into a framework consisting of organizational, process, and technological dimensions. We further map complex relationships among these CSFs, revealing how SCCT performance relies on CSFs interacting synergistically as dynamic capabilities. Moreover, this study extends the theory related to SCRES under dynamic and disruptive market conditions by discretely connecting SCCT outcomes to supply chain readiness, responsiveness, recovery, and renewal. By integrating both theoretical and practical perspectives, this study contributes to existing SCM knowledge by providing both a structured approach to identifying and implementing CSFs for SCCTs and explaining the role of SCCTs in advancing SCRES. This paper, therefore, serves as a valuable resource for both researchers and industry practitioners in understanding SCCT operations and outcomes in achieving efficient, robust, and resilient supply chains.

    The study examined the mediating role of top management leadership between institutional pressures and sustainable supply chain management practices. Specifically, it examined how top management leadership mediates the relationship between institutional pressures and sustainable procurement, sustainable manufacturing operations and reverse logistics. It also assessed how institutional pressures and top management leadership influence sustainable supply chain management practices. The research was quantitative, with data gathered from 386 medium and large-sized manufacturing facilities located in the Greater Accra, Ashanti, and Western regions of Ghana. Structural equation modelling was used as the analytical tool. The study's findings show that institutional pressures significantly affect the components of sustainable supply chain management. It also demonstrated that top management leadership significantly affects sustainable supply chain management aspects except for sustainable manufacturing operations. Furthermore, the research findings indicate that, except for sustainable manufacturing operations, the relationship between institutional pressures and other aspects of sustainable supply chain management is significantly mediated by top management leadership.
