Roadmap to green supply chain electronics: design for manufacturing implementation and management

Abstract

The green environment or environmental friendly has high important in today electronics business. The intense forces of customer, competitors as well as the government induced the electronics manufacturing rapidly implement the green process in their organization. In green manufacturing implementation, various factors must be prepared and well controlled in order to ensure the effectiveness. In this paper, we proposed the 6 basic requirements of preparation that can be grouped into product factors and environment factor. The result of research shows that the 5 factors of material, process, packaging, working environment and waste system are directly impact to the green management implementation. We also propose the green supply chain if the manufacturing promotes the same "Green Manufacturing System (GMS) to the lower tier supplier.
