Industry 4.0-driven additive manufacturing for operations in the circular economy
(2023-06)
This dissertation focuses on exploring how key elements of Industry 4.0 (I4.0), such as additive manufacturing (AM) and quantitative techniques/simulation, instigate the operations of an organisation towards the circular economy (CE). AM represents the technological foundation of future manufacturing which efficiently utilises materials avoiding unnecessary waste. Further, it could positively impact the transition towards CE by addressing issues related to the operations and supply chains while positively influencing ...

Managing Collaboration in Circular Supply Chains
(2023-05)
The dissertation focuses on understanding the application of the circular economy (CE) concept to the supply chain management (SCM) domain as ‘circular supply chains’ (CSCs) and the role of collaboration in this application. While CE is an emerging approach for sustainable production and consumption, its application in the SCM domain as CSCs could assist in improving the overall sustainable performance. Collaboration with internal and external partners is crucial to achieve this improvement. Hence, with the aim to ...

Exploring risk and sustainability performance in base of the pyramid supply chains
(2022-07)
In the contemporary business world, the real competition is not among individual businesses but rather between supply chains. Companies, which are part of efficient supply chains, are considered destined to outperform their competitors being part of inefficient supply chains. Moreover, performance has been a matter of concern for researchers for decades and is the primary aim of any firm’s existence. The definition of performance includes the performance measurement (PM) concept and further supports the notion that ...

A systematic literature review exploring uncertainty management and sustainability outcomes in circular supply chains
(2021)
The circular economy (CE) has inspired the emergence of circular supply chains (CSCs) to reduce the environmental impacts of linear production systems. However, the transition to CSCs faces numerous challenges and uncertainties, which in turn impact the sustainability performance of CSCs. Following a systematic review process, this paper aims to identify the uncertainties that CSCs entail and the uncertainty management strategies which can be used to mitigate them to enhance their sustainability performance. A ...

Stakeholder management in sustainable supply chains
(2022-03)
This dissertation examines stakeholder management in the context of sustainable supply chain management. Since ecological deterioration and social discrepancy keep increasing, sustainability is considered one of the most significant challenges in our current time. Due to the growing public awareness of the environmental and social sustainability issues, multiple stakeholders drive the need to implement sustainability into SCs and hold the focal firms responsible for the actions of the entire SC. Stakeholder management ...
