Therefore, this research develops a multi-stakeholder framework that identifies and evaluates the drivers of CRP adoption and implementation in manufacturing SC to elevate ecological sustainability. At first through an extensive literature review and Delphi method, relevant drivers and sub-drivers are identified, finalized and categorized under economic, environmental, social, technical and organizational categories. Secondly, <em>fuzzy</em> Best Worst Method (<em>f</em>-BWM) is employed to examine relative importance of all the drivers and sub-drivers. Thirdly, Weighted Influence Non-Linear Gauge System (WINGS) method is used to determine their cause-effect relationships. The proposed framework is illustrated through an industrial case study considering multiple manufacturing organizations in India. The results show that <em>availability of initial funding</em>, <em>economic benefits</em>, and <em>legislative support</em> obtained top three positions in the priority list, whereas, <em>skill training of workers</em> attained the least priority. Finally, critical managerial implications are deduced based on the results of relative importance and inter-relationships analysis.

Therefore, through the lens of social capital theory (SCT), this paper elaborates on how SCS practices among supply chain members can enhance sustainability outcomes. Through an iterative theory-building process, we explored the integration between SCT and SCS in this conceptual paper. The argumentation shows that beyond direct causality relations employed, social capital can strengthen SCS practices to create value among supply chain members. This becomes possible through a combination of collaboration initiatives and supply chain learning. This paper contributes to the theory by offering a conceptual framework and a set of propositions for an alternative way to understand SCS practice.

With the increasing trend towards port electrification to reduce carbon emissions, the operation of ports will be increasingly relying on the electricity network. This interconnection creates multiple challenges due to the complexity of power flow in the port network, uncertainty of vessel arrival time and fluctuation of power generation of renewable energy sources. These uncertainties can lead to an overload in electricity networks and delays in cargo-handling activities, resulting in increased vessel handling times and environmental emissions. This paper presents a joint logistics-electric framework for optimal operation and power management of electrified ports, considering multiple uncertainties in the arrival time of vessels, network demand, and renewable power generation. An optimal power flow method is developed for a real-life port, with consideration for multiple port logistic assets such as cargo handling equipment, reefers, and renewable energy sources. The proposed model ensures feasible port operation for all uncertainty realisations defined by robust optimisation, while minimising operational costs. Simulation results demonstrate that the probability of a network constraint violation can be as high as 70% for an electrified major UK port if the uncertainty in the port operation is neglected, presenting an unacceptable risk of disruption to port activities. Furthermore, such uncertainty can cause 150% increase in emissions if the ships use their auxiliary engine instead of using shore power. The numerical study shows that such challenges can be handled by a 0.3% increase in the robustness in face of uncertainty, while the cost increase in the worst case does not exceed 4.7%. This shows the effectiveness of the proposed method enhancing robustness against uncertainty at the minimum cost.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100253,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Logistics and Supply Chain","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100144"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772390924000064/pdfft?md5=c72552bfeb7b55ea5d2345404cbc5fea&pid=1-s2.0-S2772390924000064-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139636304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
