A System Dynamics Approach to Assessing Sustainability Performance of LARG Supply Chain Management Practices in Auto Parts Industry

Growing global pressures for higher industrial sustainability has persuaded organizations to implement new managerial techniques at all organizational levels to achieve supply chain sustainability. However, such novel management practices should be measured in terms of the extent to which they may promote sustainability performance. The purpose of this study was, thus, to examine the dynamic behavior of LARG supply chain management practices and their impact on sustainability in the auto parts supply chain. Expert views were utilized in the present study to prioritize the LARG practices to achieve sustainability through fuzzy DEMATEL and the fuzzy analysis network process to present an integrated approach to LARG practices. Finally, the system dynamic approach was employed to assess the sustainability performance of LARG supply chain management practices. The finding indicated theAuto parts Supply Chain, Fuzzy Analytic Network Process, Fuzzy DEMATEL, System Dynamics, Sustainability significant role of improvement scenarios in the implementation of comprehensive quality management and punctual production, and thereby, in supply chain sustainability. The proposed model can assist industrial managers and decision makers to identify and adopt effective practices on sustainability in LARG supply chain management.
