Abstract :

Globalization, increasingly stringent regulations for state and nongovernmental organizations along with consumer pressure and demand for addressing environmental issues have led organizations to consider essential measures they might take to establish Green Supply Chain management to enhance their environmental and economic performance. The purpose of this applied developmental survey was to design a model to identify the key factors behind successful implementation of green supply chain management. The study commenced with scrutiny and Meta-analysis of research findings related to the factors affecting the success of green supply chain management published in accredited domestic and international scientific databases which resulted in the systematic design of a model comprising 29 items in 6 factors of green supply. Further, the key factors and roadmap for success in green supply chain management were identified via strategic analysis and development approach (SODA). The results indicated the key factors in the successful implementation of the green supply chain to be the use of machinery, physical equipment and green technologies in the organization, green packaging, green purchases, green design, the use of lean production, support and protection of middle and senior operational managers in charge of implementing green chain supply and finally the allocation of the financial resources required for the implementation of environmental plans. Overall, this research is distinct from other domestic studies in that it has proposed a modern and scientific framework for the identification of key factors that could guide senior executives and decision-makers.
