Theoretical Advances in the Supply Chain Operations Strategy with a Circular Economy Approach

Abstract:

The challenges that industries face today in a competitive global world involve not only economic strategies, but also operations strategies with the tendency to care for the environment. In this context, the present article describes supply chain operations strategies with a circular economy approach, investigated by other authors in literature reviews. It also systematically examines the current trend to address this issue and evaluates each article based on the employed keywords, such as operations strategy, supply chain, and global, sustainable, and circular economy. The main findings show 13 review articles of the 62 identified in the main academic databases, and indicate that manufacturing industries are mainly implemented operations strategies based on sustainability, green product design, reverse logistics, performance indices, servitisation, among others.
