Literature review on environmental indicators for supply chains using "Systematic literature network analysis"

The necessity to include environmental consideratio ns in the assessment of supply chain performance is gaining increasing attention from bo th a research and practical perspective. Scientific contributions focusing on this topic are progressively being submitted to the academic community consideration. Given this trend towards a proliferation of papers, the need to systematically review and classify the exis ting contributions provides the motivation for this study. The methodology adopted consists is applying the Systematic Literature Network Analysis (SLNA) that combines a Systematic Literature Review approach to identify the most relevant articles to be included in the an alysis and Citation Network Analysis in order to unfold the dynamics of the field under study and to identify clusters of papers. From this analysis a classification of papers emerges in acco rdance with ISO14000 framework. This paper contributes to the growing debate on env iro mental indicators for supply chains, by analyzing the existing body of knowledge on this to pic and providing a classification of the environmental indicators. Nota biografica sugli autori Dr. Fernanda Strozzi Fernanda Strozzi si è laureata in Matematica a Pavi a ed ha conseguito il dottorato in Ingegneria chimica presso l’università di Twente in Olanda nel 1997. E’ ricercatrice presso l’Università Cattaneo-LIUC dove è titolare dei corsi di Simulazi one e Gestione di Sistemi Discreti e Metodi Matematici per le Applicazioni Industriali. I suoi principali interessi di ricerca riguardano la teoria dei sistemi non lineari, lo studio delle ser ie temporali, lo studio del controllo e della stabilità dei sistemi dinamici, l’effetto bullwhip, la teoria delle reti complesse e recentemente ha incominciato ad occuparsi del problema della sosten ibilità nelle supply chain. Su questi temi è autrice di circa 100 pubblicazioni di cui 30 su riv iste “peer-review” in collaborazione con centri di ricerca nazionali ed internazionali. E’ stata co ordinatrice per l’Università Cattaneo-LIUC di due progetti Europei, uno sulla sicurezza dei reatt ori chimici (AWARD, 2002-2005) ed un altro sulla teoria delle reti complesse applicata alle re ti artificiali sviluppate dall’uomo come ad esempio le reti elettriche e logistiche (MANMADE, 2 007-2009). E’ revisore di diverse riviste internazionali tra cui: International Journal of P roduction Economics, International Journal of Production Research, Decision Support System, Physi ca A, T-ASE: Transaction on Automation Science and Engineering, International Journal of S ystems Science.
