- Performance and risk assessment framework for sustainable networksPublication . Almeida, António; Piedade Francisco, Robetto; Bastos, João; Azevedo, Américo; Ávila, PauloNowadays, supply chains and specially Collaborative Networks are increasingly aware of sustainability issues and continuously seek to meet current human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but for future generations. In order to achieve this goal, particularly within Collaborative Networks, present decision making related with sustainability policies and practices, becomes a critical issue for the future of each stakeholder in the network. Sustainability networks must ensure that economic, environmental and social axes are fully aligned within each partner. To accomplish this, "performance metrics" for the entire network are required not only concerning the economic value of a business, but also in its environmental and social impacts. In line with this concept, organizations need to improve the quality of performance assessment namely in the sustainability areas. This paper focuses on this topic, presenting a new approach for performance and risk assessment within sustainable networks.
- Sustainability Assessment Framework for Dynamic Supply ChainsPublication . Bastos, João; Almeida, António; Azevedo, Américo; Ávila, PauloThe recent past has shown that many companies stressed from the competition, have reduced manufacturing costs as well implemented sustainable practices as much as possible. And yet this effort has proved to be insufficient. This reality is forcing the companies and managers to address the problem of competitiveness and sustainability in a holistic way, by considering the entire supply chain. Due to this pressure from supply chain stakeholders to a comprehensive sustainability assessment of the entire network, extended “performance metrics” are required not only on the economic value of a business, but also in its environmental and social impacts. Increasing numbers of organizations report a massive volume of data, with low consistency and high variability in data quality, and a dispersion of indicators, making it necessary to develop and implement new approaches for Supply Cain Management (SCM) sustainable performance assessment. This paper focuses on this topic, presenting a new approach for performance and risk assessment within dynamic supply chain networks, supported in a new and comprehensive Sustainability Assessment Framework (SAF).
