...RESEARCH PROJECT PROPOSAL A. Research Proposal Student Name: HOANG THI LUYEN Student ID: 1427723 Working Title/Provisional Topic Title: Sustainable supply chain management in recycling industry: A case study of Lavergne Group in Canada. 1. Aims/objectives/Research Questions: 1.1. Research aims The aim of this study is to evaluate the problems associated with securing a reliable and cost effective sustainable supply chain in the recycling industry and elements of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM). Recycling is a relatively new industry and the amount of recycling in countries varies significantly based on Political, Industry and Community issues. Academic and corporate awareness of sustainable supply chain and logistics issues has increased significantly in recent years (Seuring and Muller, 2008). Whilst demand for recycled raw materials is consistently increasing, the prerequisites for establishing a reliable supply chain are complex. Without a reliable and cost effective supply chain, manufacturers will avoid the use of recycled materials and instead choose less environmentally friendly virgin materials. Regardless of the reason for a company going ‘Green’ and looking for sustainability, there are key market drivers and requirements for such goals to be successful. This paper will examine the key supply chain factors that are required to optimise ...

...1: “How is the company deriving value from its sustainability practices?” Walmart has been deriving value from its sustainability strategy through multiple factors. First of all, Walmart was able to create value by introducing new revenue streams from sustainable projects. For example the recycling initiative would create revenue stream that would otherwise not have been realized. Walmart has also created value by creating transparency within its own supply chain. By being directly involved with its suppliers, it was able to manage its supply chain. Walmart’s goal via its networks was to influence stakeholders, primarily its suppliers, to initiate sustainable practices that would be in line with Walmart’s values. By doing so, Walmart has to monitor every supply chain participants, and by doing so, they were able to eliminate redundant channels in the process. For example, instead of having a product manufactured and assembled in two different countries, Walmart was able to eliminate unnecessary channels by understanding the process, and thus creating a more efficient supply chain that is both innovative and cost effective. Another thing that they did was their overall cost reduction in the value chain processes. It was able to reduce inefficiencies in packaging, transportation, and waste, among other factors. By doing so, it sees the potential cost reduction in the long run. Furthermore, Walmart derived future long-term value through its game changer strategies...

Cruz, Fresnel-28 Cunanan, April May Mendoza, Clarence Jillian Verzo, Elizarose Date of Submission Chapter I Introduction Background of the Study Domino’s supply chain system was comprised of 19 facilities located in 15 states, which allowed for nationwide coverage. Of these facilities, 16 were regional dough manufacturing and supply chain centers (SCC). Domino’s also operated three other supply chain facilities, which included an equipment and supply distribution center 25 miles east of the World Resource Center in Michigan, a fresh produce facility in Georgia that supplied some franchisees with cut vegetables, and a “pressedproduct” plant in Illinois that manufactured thin-crust dough for distribution to the 16 SCCs.4 (See Exhibit 5 for map and details of U.S. supply chain system.) Domestic franchisees were required to purchase and use the company’s Pulse point-of-sale computer system. This system was used for taking customer orders, submitting store orders to their designated SCC, and for connecting with the Domino’s network. The Pulse system included forecasting software that allowed store managers and owners to track inventory and sales to customers. This differed from the forecasting tools utilized by Domino’s at its...
