Implementing Sustainable Supply Chain in PLM

Sustainable supply chain has received growing attention in recent years. Due to the lack of relevant data to permit a credible analysis of sustainable supply chain, it is quite hard to propose an analytic method to guide sustainable supply chain strategies. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) has provided companies with useful software to manage information using product as a central element. It consolidates all the information about product but also about production and distibution. For this reason it is interesting to integrate specific information in PLM systems necessary to manage sustainable supply chain and define a methodology to implement it. The proposal is a methodology based on a four steps process to guide companies which want to start a sustainable development using the information from their PLM tools such as Enterprise Resource Planning and/or Product Data Management.
