AN OVERVIEW FOR SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

The integration of the idea of sustainable development into supply chain management has indeed been recognized as a limitation as well as a method to enhance performance, affecting a company s and its supply chain organization s competitiveness. We offer a framework for sustainable performance characterisation and an analytical model for sustainable performance evaluation to examine and analyze the possible connections between conventional supply chain management techniques and their effect on performance. The framework is used to describe a company s long-term economic, environmental, and social performance. The analytical evaluation model, which is based on the connections between a supply chain management practice and the three areas of sustainable development, is used to generate the triad s sustainable performance profile. The application of this profile to two well-known supply chain management best practices enables us to assess their effectiveness in terms of sustainable development. Depending on their goals, practitioners may simply utilize the suggested framework to highlight SCM techniques that have a beneficial effect on long-term performance.
