Study on Performance Evaluation of Green Supply Chain in Steel Industry

Abstract

The production of steel industry is closely related to integration and promotion of supply chain. Reducing cost and reusing wastes of the supply chain are one of the most significant challenges the steel enterprises need to overcome. Nowadays, green supply chain for the steel industry appears to be a wide open research area with no definitive solution yet. This paper provides a performance evaluation system of green supply chain, and the system is applied to a study on a steel enterprise where the performance of green supply chain is evaluated. At first, the paper analyzes the influencing factors of the performance on green supply chain of Chinese steel enterprises. On the basis of these factors, researchers construct a model for evaluation of performance on green supply chain, which covers the important indices in the economy, operation, and environment aspects. Finally, this paper provides the steel industry with some suggestions in using the green supply chain, which can further benefit the Chinese steel enterprises in adjusting their supply chain.
