Environmental benefits of lean, green and resilient supply chain management: The case of the aerospace sector

This paper aims to investigate the relationship and links between lean, green and resilient supply chain (SC) practices and their impact on environmental performance. To achieve this objective, the aerospace sector is chosen as the study sector. A combined methodology of Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) technique and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) approach is used in order to identify the relationships' map between practices and performance measures. Lean SC practices appear as drivers for green and resilient SC practices and their impact on environmental performance is higher than that one of the resilient SC practices. In addition, analysis of the findings is especially valuable for practitioners that can gain knowledge on interactions between practices and their impact on environmental performance measures.
