Abstract

PurposeRapid innovation and developments in personal electronic technology have encouraged users to change users' devices more frequently than ever, which has resulted in creating a massive increase in the amount of electronic waste. The study focuses on identifying the barriers to closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) in the electronic industry.Design/methodology/approachA framework for analyzing the relationships among CLSC adoption barriers is designed. The authors adopted the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) technique to determine the critical barriers of electronic CLSC from the opinion of experts in the field.FindingsThe outcome from the analysis suggests that cost barriers, financial barrier, process barriers and supplier-side barriers are the main causal factors that prevent the adoption and implementation of e-waste CLSC. The causal relationship indicates that financial barrier is the most influential factor, while phycological barrier is the most flexible barrier to the adoption of e-waste CLSC.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is restricted to CLSC adoption barriers in the electronic industry by evaluating 36 sub-barriers grouped into 8 main dimensions related to different members of the supply chain.Practical implicationsClosed-loop adoption barriers have been proposed to understand the crucial barriers to implementation of CLSC in the electronic industry. The cause-and-effect relationship indicates the critical factors to be improved to increase adoption of e-waste CLSC, helping managers and regulatory bodies to mitigate the problem areas.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature on CLSC by adopting a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technique which captures the critical barriers of e-waste CLSC adoption in Indian scenario.

电子垃圾闭环供应链采用的障碍评估
个人电子技术的快速创新和发展促使用户比以往任何时候都更频繁地更换设备,这导致了电子垃圾数量的大幅增加。本文的研究重点是识别电子行业闭环供应链的障碍。设计/方法论/方法设计了一个分析CLSC采用障碍之间关系的框架。采用决策试验与评估实验室(DEMATEL)技术,从该领域专家的意见中确定电子CLSC的关键障碍。分析结果表明,成本障碍、财务障碍、流程障碍和供应商方面的障碍是阻碍电子垃圾CLSC采用和实施的主要原因。因果关系表明,经济壁垒是影响电子垃圾CLSC采用的最大因素,而心理壁垒是最灵活的壁垒。研究局限/启示本研究仅限于电子行业的CLSC采用障碍,通过评估36个子障碍,这些子障碍分为与供应链不同成员相关的8个主要维度。本文提出了闭环采用障碍,以理解在电子工业中实施CLSC的关键障碍。因果关系表明了提高电子垃圾CLSC采用的关键因素,帮助管理人员和监管机构缓解问题领域。原创性/价值本研究通过采用多标准决策(MCDM)技术为CLSC的文献做出了贡献,该技术捕捉了印度场景中电子废物CLSC采用的关键障碍。

期刊介绍: Benchmarking is big news for companies committed to total quality programmes. Its enthusiastic reception by many prominent business figures has created high levels of interest in a technique which promises big rewards for co-operating partners. Yet, like total quality itself, it must be understood in its proper context, and implemented single mindedly if it is to be effective - this journal helps companies to decide if benchmarking is right for them, and shows them how to go about it successfully.
