OPTIMISING ENERGY EFFICIENCY THROUGH EFFECTIVE SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Summary/Abstract: Energy Efficiency (EE) is a crucial resource for social and financial development, benefiting everyone through EEdevelopers in society. Encouraging energy problem alignment with corporate company goals increasesproductivity, profitability, quality, and cost reductions. EE is an essential benefit for organizations, not merely aminor concern. Most companies, particularly Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), need help adopting EEmeasures and even encounter opposition. Funding and awareness (particularly of life cycle cost impacts) are thebiggest obstacles. One way weaker organizations might overcome such constraints and improve EE is from theSupply Chain (SC) perspective. Since most EE studies and practical strategies concentrate on single-firm energyusage, this article examines peer-reviewed journal articles on EE incorporation in SC development and oversightto identify research needs. Several literature evaluations have focused on sustainability or Supply ChainManagement (SCM), but none have addressed EE. First, this article explains how energy usage in SCM improvessystemic EE. Then, a study technique is developed, and the selected publications are examined and classed bytheir methodologies.
