Sustainable supply chain design for consumer products

The goal of this research effort is to develop a methodology to design supply chains for the production of consumer products which are as inherently sustainable as possible, to identify areas of the supply chain where changes could improve the sustainability of it, and to prioritize the implementations of those changes in order to affect the most efficient improvements leading towards sustainability. This research effort will focus on evaluating the environmental performance/sustainability of a manufacturing process and its' supply chain and will be conducted in conjunction with an industrial company.
