Industrial Green Supply Chain: A Conceptual Modelling Approach Based on Artificial Intelligence

Green supply chain (GSC) modelling is still evolving, yet according to the literature, there is no standard and comprehensive approach for modelling GSCs. This chapter attempts to examine this remarkable gap in research by proposing a standard approach for industrial supply chain (SC) modelling, which allows integrating all relevant environmental constraints. This new approach is inspired from other methodologies proposed earlier regardless of their area of study and implemented via a case study in fish canning industry. The steps of the proposed approach are based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), which has become a mainstream trend nowadays. The proposed approach may help managers and researchers and could provide a guideline for GSC modelling.
