Sustainable Procurement in Supply Chain Operations
暫譯: 供應鏈運營中的可持續採購

可持續採購是一個在供應鏈和運營管理中新興的概念。製造業已經在從以成本為基礎轉向以質量為基礎和以客戶為中心的供應鏈管理策略方面取得了進展。這正成為供應鏈系統中的一個整合組成部分，參與者開始意識到法規和客戶的需求。對於生產公司來說，將採購活動視為在競爭激烈的全球環境中維持業務的戰略推動力之一是至關重要的。本書將為行業提供有關可持續採購政策及其實施的概念理解。

- 提供可持續採購供應鏈中的決策和理論發展模型
- 包括在可持續採購供應鏈背景下的三大主要分析貢獻：描述性、預測性和觀點
- 討論與供應商的新商業模式及共同品牌的機會
- 涵蓋如何開發新工具來衡量和分配可持續實踐帶來的收益給各利益相關者
- 分析將數據轉化為有意義且可行的見解的科學
