Atmospheric Pollution Case Study

Atmospheric contamination may be defined as the mixing of perilous matters (solid, liquid or gaseous) into earth’s atmosphere (Harish 2012). Atmospheric pollution is considered as a chief ecological issue all over the globe. It is believed that automobiles are the main cause for the pollutants that reduce the quality of air. Therefore, reducing automobile emissions have become the prime objective for controlling air contamination.(Ferrara 2007). According to (Harish 2012) transport segment is the chief consumer of oil, and uses around 50% of the oil stock in the globe.

Indian economy is considered as one of the fastest developing economy in the world (Saxena, Gopal et al. 2013).Indian automobile business is the sixth largest automotive

The improper waste disposal leads to atmospheric pollution, which is harmful to the entire ecosystem. During manufacturing the soaking and coating division releases a huge amount of dirt water to the atmosphere which are in rich in oil, grease deposits and chemical substances which may contaminate the soil and air (Bajaj and Winter 2013). As a result, controlling the pollutants during the manufacture itself has a got a huge consideration over the past years. A systematic process that allocates the production firm itself to regulate the emission of effluent will be much easier and will be cheaper to govern (Ferrara 2007). In this scenario, Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) will the best method to control the discharges at the manufacturing level itself.

Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) may be defined as a systematic means to better the efficiency of the techniques used and manufactured article by considering natural rules. GSCM means incorporating natural deduction into Supply Chain Management (Sunil, Vinod et al. 2011).

In this research, we are mainly discussing about the obstacles faced by the Indian automotive industry for the successful implementation of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) and possible solutions for these obstacles. In order find out the obstacles and solutions, initially we have to study about Supply Chain Management (SCM), Environment Management and GSCM

Therefore, the need to regulate these adverse effects of supply chains are gaining more importance in order to maintain the ecological balance. This pressurizes the executives to reduce the unpleasant effects of supply chains and to sustain an environmentally balanced one (Luthra and Haleem 2015). Green Supply Chain Management is recognised as one of the suitable solution to effectively reduce these unpleasant effects. Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is a management strategy to control the ecological impacts at the place of origin, even before its occurrence. The main function of GSCM is to reduce the ecological problems due to the supply chain procedures inside the firm as well as the entire supply chain. Implementing GSCM has many advantages to the environment as well as to the organisation. The main Advantage of GSCM is that it helps to develop a green product, which is eco-friendly. GSCM helps to reduce the cost and risk and also helps to increase the efficiency of an organisation (Nikbakhsh 2009). (Srivastava 2007) defines GSCM as “ integrating environmental thinking into supply chain management, including product design, material sourcing and selection, manufacturing processes, delivery of the final product to the consumers as well as end-of-life management of the product after its useful life”. According to (Jain and Sharma 2012) In GSCM, the raw
