The Importance of Green Supply Chain
Management Approach in the Integrated
Product Development Process
Alda Yoshi Uemura Reche, Osiris Canciglieri Junior, and Marcelo Rudek
1 Introduction
The life cycle of products has become shorter, which has challenged industries
in terms of innovation and pressure over time. Consequently, product development activity in companies is also under pressure, intending to develop products
in shorter terms, while adding to the growing demands of society, companies, and
the environment.
The success of the new product development can be achieved if all stages of the
supply chain are systematically linked to the perspective of sustainability, therefore, since the raw material until the end-users must have sustainable practices
incorporated in their processes (Sinha and Anand 2018).
The relationship between product development and issues related to sustainability
and GSCM had the largest number of publications in the period from 2011 to 2018
(Uemura Reche et al. 2020a). Thus evidencing the importance of approaching the
theme in the last nine years.
