ABSTRACT
Small scale manufacturing industries started implementing the green concept in their supply chain management recently to focus on environmental issues. Maximum of the small scale industries are setting up their own manufacturing plants in economical Indian market. Owing to community consciousness, economic, environmental or governmental reasons, the obligation of green supply chain management has been in demand. In this framework, this study purposes to improve an important model of the barriers to implement green supply chain management in north Indian small scale industry. We have recognized numerous barriers and background relationships between the identified barriers. Arrangement of barriers has been carried out based upon requirement and driving power with the support of MIC-MAC analysis. In accumulation to this, a structural model of barriers to implement green supply chain management in north Indian small scale industry has also been place forward using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) technique. Sixteen numbers of applicable barriers have been recognized from literature and following debates with professionals from industry. Available of which, four numbers of barriers have been identified as dependent variables; six numbers of barriers have been identified as the independent variables andsix numbers of barriers have been identified as the linkage variables. Elimination of these barriers has also been argued. Concluded this paper we donate to identify the barriers to implement green supply chain management in north Indian small scale industry and to overgrown them. The structured model developed will assistance to appreciate interdependence of the barriers.
