Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Trade-offs among lean, agile, resilient and green paradigms
• Relationships among LARG practices and the supply chain capabilities
• Performance models for lean, agile, resilient and green supply chains
• The impact of lean, agile, resilient and green paradigms on supply chain sustainability
• Benchmarking lean, agile, resilient and green supply chains
• Proposal innovative business models integrating this set of paradigms
• Integration of lean, agile, resilient and green paradigms with current industry trends such as Industry 4.0, eco-innovation, eco-efficiency, circular economy, entrepreneurship in business ecosystems, among others
