Overview


This book is primarily intended to serve as a research-based textbook on sustainable supply chains for graduate programs in Business, Management, Industrial Engineering, and Industrial Ecology, but it should also be of interest for researchers in the broader sustainable supply chain space, whether from the operations management and industrial engineering side or more from the industrial ecology and life-cycle assessment side.

As firms become progressively more tightly coupled in global supply chains, rather than being large vertically integrated monoliths, risks and opportunities associated with activities upstream or downstream will increasingly impinge upon their own wellbeing. For a firm to thrive, it is increasingly imperative that it be aware of economic, environmental and social dimensions of the entire supply chain it belongs to, and that it proactively monitor and manage those. Finding efficient solutions towards a more sustainable supply chain is increasingly important for managers, but clearly this raise difficult questions, often without clear answers. This book aims to provide insights into these kinds of questions for students and practitioners, based on the latest academic research.

We have noticed a recent surge in the number of courses on “sustainable supply chain management” or related topics, but a relative lack of corresponding teaching materials. While sustainability has been widely studied at the level of company strategy and extensive related pedagogical materials exist, there is still a relative lack of materials on sustainability with a supply chain management perspective.

About the Author

Dr. Yann Bouchery is an Assistant Professor at EM Normandie (France). Dr.
Bouchery received a Master Degree in Industrial Engineering and Management from
Lund University (Sweden) as well as a Master Degree in Industrial Management and Logistics from Ecole Centrale Lille (France). He obtained a PhD in Operations
Management from Ecole Centrale Paris (France) in 2012. His PhD research dealt with sustainable supply chain optimization with a special focus on inventory models. He spent two years at Eindhoven University of Technology (The
Netherlands) as a postdoc researcher. His research mainly focused on a Dinalog project called “Cargo driven intermodal transportation”. This project aimed at studying container flows management at the cargo level and focused on both economic and environmental performances optimization. His main research interest is on Sustainable Operations and Logistics. He has published articles in academic journals such as International Journal of Production
Economics
and European Journal of Operational Research.

Dr. Tarkan Tan is an Associate Professor in the School of Industrial
Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands. Dr.
Tan received his Ph.D in Industrial Engineering from the Middle East
Technical University, Ankara, Turkey, in 2002. He pursued one year of his studies towards his Ph.D. degree at Columbia University, Graduate School of Business, Management Science / Operations Research division, New York,
as a Fulbright scholar. He joined Eindhoven University of Technology as a post-doc researcher in 2003 and started working as an assistant professor the same year in the Operations, Planning, Accounting, and Control group.
In 2010 he spent an academic term at the University of California, Los
Angeles, as a visiting scholar. Dr. Tan has been elected twice as the best lecturer in Operations Management and Logistics MSc program,
by “Industria”, the organization of the Industrial Engineering students of
Eindhoven University of Technology. He is an executive board member of the
European Supply Chain Forum. His research interests include inventory theory, capacity management, spare parts management, and supply chain management with a particular focus on the effects of carbon emissions.
He has published articles in academic journals such as Manufacturing
& Service Operations Management, Transportation Science, IIE
Transactions, Naval Research Logistics, Operations Research Letters,
and European Journal of Operational Research.

Jan Fransoo is a Professor of Operations Management and Logistics in the
School of Industrial Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology in the
