This book provides a framework for integrating information management in supply chains. Current trends in business practice have made it necessary to explore the potential held by information integration with regard to environmental aspects. Information flow integration provides an opportunity to focus on the creation of a more “green” supply chain. However, it is currently difficult to identify the impact of information integration on greening a supply chain in a wide range of practical applications. Accordingly, this book focuses on the potential value of information integration solutions in terms of greening supply chain management. It covers the following major topics: Application of information flow standards in the supply chain Information systems and technological solutions for integrating information flows in supply chainsThe Internet of Things and the industry 4.0 concept, with regard to the integration ofsupply chains Modeling and simulation of logistics processesDecision-making tools enabling the greening of supply chains

This book includes in-depth discussions on practical aspects of digitalisation of a supply chains and covers a vary array of actionable digitisation tools. The academic literature points to a serious lack of precision in the scope that the digitalisation of business processes should address. Studies on the digitalisation of businesses have pointed to the fragmented nature of their coverage and the lack of a comprehensive approach to the research conducted in this area. Digital transformation is described in academic and specialist literature as the integration of digital technology into all areas of business, which in turn is causing fundamental changes in the way a company delivers its services and business activities, cultural changes and a change from traditional business processes to new, innovative practices and solutions that are having an impact on the greening supply chains. It is important to note that digital transformation involves the introduction of innovation and new business models, incorporating the computerisation of resources, supply chain visibility and increasing the use of technology to improve the experience of employees, customers, suppliers, partners and supply chain stakeholders.Digitisation is a business trend that is becoming increasingly important. Books on this subject that have been published in recent years deal with the issue on a fragmented basis. It is not possible to find a publication that comprehensively presents opportunities for the digitisation of supply chains through the computerisation and standardisation of information flows, the integration of IT systems in supply chains and the application of modern technologies and innovations. Only the synergy of these three aspects allows for the full digitalisation of greening supply chains.The book is an excellent material for both theoreticians and practitioners. Theoreticians will find inspiring research results in a very narrow thematic scope, which is also dynamically developing.

The book focuses on efficiency analysis in enterprises and describes a broader supply-chain context to support improved sustainability. The research and its outcomes presented here provide theoretical and empirical studies on efficiency analysis in the supply chain, including operational, economic, environmental and social aspects. This book sheds new light on the efficiency-assessment framework for practitioners and includes essential tips on how to improve the sustainability of supply-chains operations.
