Abstract

Sustainable value chain management (SVCM) incorporates the social, economic, and environmental aspects (known as the triple-bottom-line) of production systems, offering significant potential for sustainable operations. By broadening system boundaries and including triple-bottom-line sustainability indicators, SVCM can improve the existing literature on sustainable operations management. Life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) identifies sustainability hotspots within value chains but is often underutilized in the practical design of sustainable operations. This paper presents a three-phase framework that combines SVCM and LCSA to enhance sustainable operations, using electricity production as a case study due to its substantial carbon footprint. The authors reviewed 443 articles from an initial 1649 documents on electricity production technologies, emphasizing the use of life cycle assessment (LCA) models to achieve responsible operations in the energy sector. The study highlights the benefits of the proposed integrated framework in achieving sustainable operations through sustainability reporting, stakeholder engagement, transparent procurement, global value chain management, corporate social responsibility, integrated decision-making, circular economy, and carbon footprint management. Future research should focus on developing circular production systems, integrating socioeconomic indicators, and aligning sustainable development goals with value chain hotspots.

揭示可持续价值链和生命周期管理对电力生产技术可持续运营的作用
可持续价值链管理(SVCM)纳入了生产系统的社会、经济和环境方面(称为三重底线),为可持续运营提供了巨大潜力。通过扩大系统边界并纳入三重底线可持续发展指标,SVCM 可以改进现有的可持续运营管理文献。生命周期可持续性评估(LCSA)可确定价值链中的可持续性热点,但在可持续运营的实际设计中往往未得到充分利用。本文介绍了一个三阶段框架,该框架结合了 SVCM 和 LCSA,以加强可持续运营。作者从最初的 1649 篇有关电力生产技术的文献中,查阅了 443 篇文章,强调使用生命周期评估 (LCA) 模型实现能源行业的负责任运营。研究强调了建议的综合框架在通过可持续发展报告、利益相关者参与、透明采购、全球价值链管理、企业社会责任、综合决策、循环经济和碳足迹管理实现可持续运营方面的益处。未来的研究应侧重于开发循环生产系统、整合社会经济指标以及将可持续发展目标与价值链热点结合起来。

期刊介绍: Operations Management Research is a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on rapidly publishing high-quality research in the field of operations management. It aims to advance both the theory and practice of operations management across a wide range of topics and research paradigms. The journal covers all aspects of operations management, including manufacturing, supply chain, health care, and service operations. It welcomes various research methodologies, such as case studies, action research, surveys, mathematical modeling, and simulation. The goal of Operations Management Research is to promote research that enhances both the theory and practice of operations management, as it is an applied discipline. The journal also publishes Academic Notes, which are special papers that address research methodologies, the direction of the operations management field, and other topics of interest to academicians. Additionally, there is a demand for shorter and more focused research articles in operations management, which this journal aims to fulfill.
