IMPLEMENTATION OF GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN - A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN SMALL, MEDIUM AND LARGE SCALE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIES”
Keywords:
Green Supply Chain, Construction Industries, Environmental IssuesAbstract
Environmental pollution is the major problem that mankind faces in present state, the major emission of toxic gases is from vehicles and manufacturing industries. The thesis study focuses on three different types of Small Scale Industries (SSI) in India that are bumper manufacturing industry, dyeing industry and food processing industry. The product life cycles of the process for each industry are identified and their final green waste disposal methods are investigated. The significance of GSCM in greening the building sector in addition to the inherent gaps in the literature formed the inspiration of the analysis, in which an extensive, theory enabled GSCM exploration is going to be performed on the construction market addressing the implementation of different eco-friendly practices across all key development (from first advancement of the look to end of recycling) and life demolition, drivers for and obstacles to the implementation of theirs (antecedents) and their various performance implications (outcomes), all with the amount of individual stakeholders, Architects/Consultants, i.e. Developers, Contractors/Subcontractors and also material Suppliers. The study will even check out the impact of (stakeholder) firm size plus ownership, so that any intrinsic differences could be fully understood and also delineated. Furthermore, the analysis is going to try to produce a higher-level abstraction on the GSCM concept in building with the application of established/emerging management theories, based on how and where these theories could, separately and in conjunction, help with providing a much deeper, more and broader simplified conceptualization of GSCM perspectives. Because of the medical idea that good theoretical ideas are essential for managerial and decision-making activities also the development of any area (Paulraj and Chen, 2004)[11], the theoretical underpinnings of this particular research are likely to improve the useful application of GSCM within the building market and in common, along with add significantly towards further theoretical development of the industry.The particular goals of this particular research are therefore as follows: one. Understand the different GSCM elements because of the building segment, specifically eco-friendly practices, drivers for and obstacles to the implementation of theirs, and the impact of it’s on the financial and environmental performance (long-term and short-term) of companies across every supply chain stakeholder two. Recognize the crucial inter relationships between these GSCM aspects vital for greening the building market three. Understand the effect of firm size in addition to ownership on the GSCM aspects four. Offer several theoretical perspectives in realising the multifaceted reality of GSCM within the building market. In general, this detailed, theory enabled Resulting insights and GSCM investigation are likely to give policymakers and practitioners with an all-inclusive comprehension of the different circumstances needed for greening the building supply chain and consequently the sector.
