Chapter 1
Introduction
RMG is the leading sector in Bangladesh in terms of foreign currency earnings. Bangladesh is
the second largest garments exporter next to china. It contributes 80% of total export earnings.
Low labor cost, efficient worker, different organizational support and government support are the
main strengths of this sector. On the contrary, Supply Chain Management is such kind of
Management dealing with customer contentment concerning Manufacturing and Service which
are the key values for the Bangladesh Garment Industry obviously. It Constance all of the
customer requirement and essential it's all about customer (buyer in term of garment industry)
satisfaction. Supply Chain Management (SCM) is such kind of Management for a network of
intra and interconnected businesses (Supplier to Manufacturer to Buyer) engaged in the provision
of goods and service packs (Lead Time or up to Shipment) needed by the bottom end customers
in a supply chain. Supply chain management extents all attempts and procurements of raw
materials like trims and accessories, work-in-process inventory, and completed goods from
source of origin to source of consumption inside the garment commerce. So according to the
nearby scenario Supply Chain Management is in actuality offering a New Paradigm for
Bangladesh Garment Industry undoubtedly. Supply chain management systems help in reducing
inventories, operational costs, compress order cycle time, enhance asset productivity as well as
increase the companies’ responsiveness to the market. Besides from these benefits, the apparel
industry is able to achieve quick response through efficient supply chain management practices.
Quick response is a concept pertaining to the collaboration and sharing or information among
manufacturers, suppliers and distributors, allowing them to respond more rapidly to the needs of
the customers.
Objective of the Study
The study on KDS garment and garment is the main source for economic development of
Bangladesh demands examination and evaluation of multidimensional aspect of garment sector
and its impact on the environmental condition of Bangladesh. In such a context, the main
objective of the study is to examine, evaluate and analyze Green Supply Chain Management in

objectives of the study are:

 To get an overview over the KDS-RMG Industry of Bangladesh.

Methodology of the Study
This paper followed the systematic literature and analyzed articles approach. Considering the
increasing number of books, journals, conferences and work-shops, the systematic literature
review has become an indispensable method. In systematic literature review pertinent work and
resent findings are analyzed with regard to a particular research question. The ultimate goal of
this study is to find out the major implications of green supply chain management in RMG
industry of Bangladesh. Various sources are supporting this issue by different ways. So we have
exerted our effort to gather important aspect of GSCM and articulate those aspects for making
conceptual understanding.

Following steps are followed for research perspective.

1. Definition of Review scope

2. Conceptualization of topic

3. Literature search process

a) Identification of Journals

c) Keyword Search

d) Backward/Forward Search

e) Literature Evaluation: Title, Abstract, Full Text Evaluation

4. Literature analysis and synthesis

5. Research Agenda

6. Thorough Discussion

7. Projection of the Future Activities

Limitation of the Study
GSCM means Green Supply Chain Management or process comes into eminence when this
company have to allocate their products either to the retailers or directly to the patrons in the
Bangladesh garment industry by fulfilling all essential elements related to the social, economic,
and environmental concerns. The studies on GSCM are few in numbers, especially when
considered in the perspective of garment industry of Bangladesh. For this reason, we have some
hard-headed limitations to merge the green supply chain management concept usually in
Bangladesh garment industry over this whole paper. These limitations are manifolds.

The first and foremost limitation of the study is the time constraint. The prospective time needed
for the study has a huge difference with the time actually taken for the study. Another major
limitation of the study is that it is almost based on the secondary research approach due to the
time constraint.
