Description
Summary:<i>Background:</i> This study examined the role of total quality management, just-in-time, and green supply chain management practices to improve environmental performance. <i>Methods:</i> Data from 207 manufacturing industry respondents from a developing economy were tested through a quantitative method using PLS-SEM with the help of SmartPLS to validate the measurement model. <i>Results:</i> The results show that just-in-time significantly impacts total quality management and green supply chain management practices. Similarly, total quality management significantly affects environmental performance. However, just-in-time insignificantly affects the environment. Likewise, total quality management is insignificant and negatively affects green supply chain practices. <i>Conclusions:</i> This research provides practical insight to practitioners for understanding and implementing practices in their supply chain networks. These findings support the strategic use of just-in-time and total quality management to promote green supply chain practices as a core skill to improve environmental performance. The findings are also helpful for supply chain practitioners, policymakers, and industrialists. This research enriches the literature in the supply chain.
