Abstract
Supply chains are networks of companies engaged in activities required to bring a product (or service) to market. The design of products, processes and systems in sustainable supply chains (SSCs) must not only seek economic benefits for shareholders and value for customers but also manage environmental and societal impacts affecting all stakeholders. Realizing this goal mandates considering activities that span the entire lifecycle of a product which, in reality, are conducted by many companies in the supply chain. This paper presents a product life-cycle based framework for SSCs and examines the modeling capabilities necessary to achieve sustainability goals. On-going research to develop models for SSC design and management are also presented.
