This chapter explores the challenges that companies face in managing the chemicals and substances found in their products and supply chains. The topic is presented from both a practice and an academic perspective. Based on the authors’ work with an environmental nonprofit, a model is presented that examines levers available to both companies and nonprofits for improving the environmental performance of suppliers. The chapter concludes by discussing potential future research directions with respect to chemicals management and sustainable supply chains.

Time-optimal production control in a manufacturing system
BAK, T.; Yurtseven, M. Kudret (Informa UK Limited, 1987-1)
This study demonstrates the use of control engineering techniques to regulate the product inventory levels of a workshop in a manufacturing system by manipulating the number of machines and the labour time employed during production. The production policy that minimizes the production time is obtained by time-optimal control techniques.
Analysis of supplier buyer relationships using resource constrained project scheduling strategies
Tukel, OI; Wasti Pamuksuz, Syeda Nazlı (2001-03-01)
Many studies in the product development literature discuss the benefits of partnering with suppliers. In these partnership relations buyers and suppliers establish long term, co-operative relationships during Product Development Projects (PDP) in order to reduce product development time and improve project performance. Traditional contractual approaches, on the other hand, where buyers work independently of suppliers and lack control over suppliers' resources, are commonly blamed for delays in the developme...
Investigation of fly ash characteristics on zeolite 4A synthesis
Akın, Süleyman Şener; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2019)
There is lack of information about the relation between the candidate raw material fly ash and end product, Zeolite 4A.This study aims to fill the gap in the literature through controlled ash production experiments, characterization studies and Zeolite 4A synthesis. As a result of studies, the nucleation behaviour of the alkali fusion product obtained from fly ash was demonstrated and the most crystalline Zeolite 4A with cubic morphology were obtained from Seyitömer fly ash with alkali fusion product of Si/...
Proactive environmental strategy in a supply chain context: the mediating role of investments
Akın Ateş, Melek; Bloemhof, Jacqueline; van Raaij, Erik M.; WYNSTRA, Finn (2012-01-01)
There is a growing body of knowledge on the link between environmental management and supply chain management, but there is contradicting evidence on the impact of a proactive environmental strategy on environmental performance. Therefore, this paper investigates the impact of proactive environmental strategy on environmental performance as mediated by environmental investments. We also consider the antecedents of the adoption of proactive environmental strategy. We develop and test hypotheses, using data c...
Periodic-review inventory systems with exogenous and endogenous replenishment lead times
Aşcı, Murtaza; Avşar, Zeynep Müge; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007)
In this thesis, two-echelon systems with exogenous and endogenous lead times are studied for the orders placed by the retailer(s) from the supplier. The retailer(s) employ periodic-review base-stock policy, namely (R,S) policy. For the case the demand during review period is i.i.d. and the probability distribution is Normal for each review period, a new method is proposed for exogenous lead time case under stationary policy. The results of the proposed method is then compared with the results of the existin...
