Muangpan, Thanyaphat; Neamvonk, Jutaporn

The concept of supply chain management (SCM) is an important strategy for Thai industry companies, and environmental issues are a serious problem in the world. Thus, applying the supply chain process into business management can help to ease environmental pollution. This paper aims to test the conceptual framework of the Environmental - Supply Chain Management in the Thai automotive industry. Statistical analysis was used descriptive statistics and confirmatory factor analysis to test the main factors and indicators. The results led to a four-factor model that includes greenhouse gas emission and environmental pollution, natural resource utilization, waste and recycling management, and green supply chain management. Moreover, of the four main dimensions, the 22-item measurement indicators for evaluating the group of factors of their En-SCM performance are presented. This confirms that the En-SCM model can also be applied for operational planning for companies developing SCM and reducing environmental problems.
