Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Product development companies and service providers seek to develop and innovate their products and services in a simple and efficient way. These companies have been aggressively striving to incorporate the concepts of Industry 4.0, seeking mainly to focus on a future with less impact on the environment and, above all, trying to achieve consumer loyalty. For this Special Issue, we are inviting academic researchers and industry professionals to discuss the importance of Green and Reverse Supply Chains to Support Product Development.
In order to ensure valuable discussion, we would like to involve industrialists and professionals in order to exchange their experiences and participate in discourse, allowing researchers to have industrial feedback and to be able to explore opportunities for future collaboration. Thus, for this Special Issue, researchers are challenged to discuss the impact and importance of green and reverse supply chain approaches, methodologies and applications in order to support the product development process in an integrated manner. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Green supply chain;
- Sustainability and renewable energy;
- Electricity generation and distribution;
- Circular economy;
- Corporate social responsibility (CSR);
- Renewable energy;
- Green maturity models;
- Green metrics and maturity;
- Green product development;
- Green business models;
- Green product models;
- Green manufacturing models;
- Green asset lifecycle management;
- Green smart factories;
- Green digital transformation;
- Green conception and implementation processes;
- Green building lifecycle management;
- Education;
- Green management;
- Green best practices.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
