Supply chains are currently globalized and companies operate internationally owing to the fact that raw materials, production processes, and the consumption of the final products are carried out in different countries. This implies high material and information flow, which incurs high costs associated with the supply chain and logistics, sometimes up to 60% of the total cost of the product. Therefore, companies seek to optimize their resources to reduce these costs and improve sustainability in a globalized market. This book, entitled Tools, Methodologies and Techniques Applied to Sustainable Supply Chains, contains 15 chapters that report case studies applied to industrial and service sectors. The authors come from areas such as Mexico, Colombia, Italy, Sweden, Slovakia, China, and Australia. They indicate how managers make use of tools and techniques to solve problems associated with supply chains to reduce their cost and remain competitive. A great effort has been made to analyze this problem, and the methodologies are clearly described here to facilitate the reproducibility of each technique and tool. This was done in the hope that hoping that they may one day be applied in more companies.

Supply chain management (SCM) has been traditionally linked with procurement of raw materials to an integrated manufacturing process for the conversion into finished products. Increasing awareness about the eco-friendly aspects of business and organizations has necessitated the imbibition of added connotations, referred to as green initiatives, to the existing definitional form of SCM. This new concept called Green SCM or GSCM throws light on the eco-friendly sustainability aspects of SCM operations and logistics on one hand and speaks about the reduced environmental footprints left behind by human activities on the other. This paper tries to portray the gradual development and a shifting trend towards imbibing green initiatives in the operational practices of organizations, so as to conform to the need of the hour and move towards a sustainable and eco-friendly business environment. This exhaustive review aims at recording and documenting the development and chronological evolution of GSCM concepts from its traditional SCM manifestation. The paper also tries to champion GSCM as a remedy to the increasing ecological footprint and ever increasing environmental concern involving SCM. The paper discusses the extension of GSCM from the traditional concepts, its definitional perspectives, implementation hurdles and also puts forth a long list of empirical evidences and literary arguments to justify the massive positive impact of GSCM on environmental management. The business sustainability, profitability and economic aspects have also been focused while discussing the management of reverse logistics and global valueseeking approach of GSCM practices.

This edition of Supply Chain Management (SCM) was revised to appeal to a wider readership besides students taking SCM courses. Global supply chain managers and researchers in the fields of SCM and operations strategy would find it a useful reference. Rather than discuss the technical issues of SCM, the book focuses on the strategic perspectives and approaches of SCM. Students learn to identify SCM issues from the top management's perspective. The book also presents real-world managerial problems and incorporates case studies for connecting theories with practices. By exploring the fundamental issues of SCM, managers acquire a new learning perspective that enables them to solve problems in a more sustainable and innovative manner rather than use short-term, ad hoc solutions. Finally, it distils various theoretical concepts to allow researchers to observe real SCM issues in a managerial context which allows for practical, meaningful and impactful research to be carried out.
