| Abstract | The paper deals with the relationship between waste reduction and supply chain strategies and argues that the competitive advantage of a supply chain can be viewed as an ongoing process of acquiring control over different types of waste. The paper orients the managerial thinking to aggregating non-added value activities into waste zones and recognises three waste zones for supply chains; information zone, strategic decisions zone and system variations zone. The paper identifies several parameters for measuring the performance of supply chain waste reduction. |
