Abstract
Industrial engineering plays a critical role in shaping sustainable supply chains by optimizing processes, reducing waste, and improving the efficiency of production and distribution systems. The growing demand for sustainability in business operations has placed industrial engineering at the forefront of supply chain management, especially in designing systems that are resource-efficient, environmentally friendly, and economically viable. This paper explores the influence of industrial engineering on sustainable supply chain design, focusing on key techniques such as lean manufacturing, process optimization, and green logistics. The paper also examines real-world case studies, challenges in implementation, and future trends in sustainable supply chain design, providing a comprehensive analysis of how industrial engineering contributes to the development of sustainable practices in supply chains.
