Abstract
Based on the existing literature, this paper proposes two assumptions and designs a set of ecological supply chain performance evaluation indicators system. Because these indicators are interdependence for each other, this paper selects the analytic network process and builds the ANP network model to evaluate the degree of ecological supply chain management practice among Chinese manufacturing enterprises. The evaluation results show that there is different level indeed about the ecological supply chain management level; the better the ecological supply chain management practice degree is, the more quickly the ecological supply chain management performance levels increase.
Highlights
Resource and environment problems have been the enormous challenges for human society
Because the competition among enterprises has evolved into the competition between supply chains, only the supply chain that takes into account the environment interests, in the pursuit of economic interests at the same time, can obtain and maintain a competitive advantage
In order to research the change of enterprises performance level after implementing the ecological supply chain management, 24 questions are be designed in this paper, which are environmental performance, operational performance, economic performance, and organizational performance
Summary
Resource and environment problems have been the enormous challenges for human society. As environment problem is becoming more prominent, ecological research has been put on the agenda. In this context, enterprises must go through an ecological revolution, and those enterprises that take full account of the environment interest can maintain and improve competitiveness. Because the competition among enterprises has evolved into the competition between supply chains, only the supply chain that takes into account the environment interests, in the pursuit of economic interests at the same time, can obtain and maintain a competitive advantage. This paper assumes that the enterprises implementing ecological supply chain management can be divided into three types: leading enterprise, start-up enterprise, and backward enterprise. This study can provide a reference for manufacturing enterprises to evaluate the degree of ecological supply chain management practice.
