Abstract

Globalization and escalating environmental challenges have made reducing carbon emissions a critical priority for manufacturing supply chains. This review synthesizes recent literature on strategies to mitigate carbon emissions in manufacturing-oriented supply chains, focusing on sustainable network design, carbon measurement and accounting, carbon management practices, and low-carbon supplier selection. Our analysis of the reviewed papers shows that game theory, mathematical modeling, and decision-making techniques are commonly used, whereas advanced statistical and Lagrangian approaches are less frequent. Over time, there has been a clear increase in publications and a growing influence of policy instruments (e.g., carbon pricing) and digital technologies on emission reduction strategies. By mapping methodological tendencies and revealing underexplored areas, this review identifies key research gaps and outlines directions for future studies that combine technological innovation with policy mechanisms in supply chain decarbonization.

Özet

Küreselleşme ve çevresel sorunlar, karbon emisyonlarının azaltılmasını her geçen gün daha önemli bir konu haline getirmiştir. Bu çalışma, imalat sektörü tedarik zincirlerinde karbon emisyonlarını azaltmaya yönelik yöntemleri incelemektedir. Literatür taraması kapsamında sürdürülebilir tedarik zinciri tasarımı, karbon emisyonlarının ölçülmesi, etkin karbon yönetimi ve çevreye duyarlı tedarikçi seçimi gibi temel yaklaşımlar analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, en yaygın olarak kullanılan yöntemin oyun teorisi olduğunu; bunu sırasıyla matematiksel modelleme, karar verme ve sistematik analiz yöntemlerinin izlediğini göstermektedir. Bazı yöntemlerin ise daha sınırlı kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, çalışmaların yıllara göre artması, alanın akademik ve uygulama açısından önemini ortaya koymaktadır. İncelenen yayınlarda en çok vurgulanan konu karbon emisyon politikaları olurken, teknolojik gelişmeler ve dijital dönüşüm uygulamaları da bu süreci desteklemektedir. Bu çalışma, literatürdeki metodolojik eğilimleri ortaya koymakta ve karbon azaltım stratejileri ile teknolojik gelişmelerin etkileşimini göstermesi bakımından önemli bir katkı sunmaktadır.
