... However, the effects of these eco-friendly practices on buying companies' performance remain a topic of global interest and controversy, with findings ranging from affirmative [100] to adverse or insignificant [27,97], which makes this topic fertile for future research. Fourth, the present study findings help us understand the reason behind the contradictory findings presented by previous studies, as the importance of the suppliers' selection criterion differs from one company to another and from one industry to another, and supplier capabilities to meet each criterion are different [1,49,53,66]. This stimulates future research to consider which indicators to include and how by which weights are given to enhance generalizing the results. ...
In recent years, procurement managers have introduced environmental considerations into supplier selection and evaluation as a response to strict environmental regulations implemented by governments. Although previous research investigated the selection of eco-friendly suppliers, little research has been conducted on the significance of the wide range of selection criteria used by industrial customers. The aim of this study was to address this gap and examine the difference in the perceived importance of the selection criteria versus the performance achieved using the selection criteria, in addition to the difference in the business performance and the total supply performance. By investigating the selection criteria of manufacturers in the market environment, this study aimed to demonstrate how their business performance was affected by the performance of suppliers in relation to such criteria. To accomplish this task, this study conducted an empirical analysis based on the questionnaire responses of 72 purchasing managers working in the electrical/electronic and heavy chemical industries. Based on previous research, the following six supplier selection factors were identified: eco-friendliness, quality, relationship, flexibility, delivery, and price/finance. By using statistical analyses, including sample t-tests and multiple regression analysis, this study identified a correlation between supplier and manufacturer performance. The findings show that some factors, such as eco-friendliness, flexibility, price, and delivery, were statistically relevant to the performance of manufacturers, which added value to the decision-making strategy employed in supplier selection.

Mobility is undergoing changes. Increasingly strict legislation regarding pollutant emissions
and the protection of the environment are more important than ever. The change to electric
mobility is also presenting the mobile world with new challenges and opportunities. Vehicles are
becoming more and more efficient with higher power densities and better performance. Applicationadapted
components are being developed and used as a matter of preference. New production
technologies can help to realise the change in mobility reliably. Additive manufacturing is one way of
producing functionally integrated and performance-optimised components. AM offers the possibility
to produce application-specific performance parts. Electric vehicles often have a problem with the
thermal load of the components during power output and charging. Additively manufactured
components with optimised topology and integrated cooling strive to achieve higher power density,
enhanced cooling performance, and improved mechanical properties. AM not only makes it possible
to produce functionally integrated and application-adapted components but also to reduce CO2
emissions and conserve resources. The potential of additive manufacturing for mobility is particularly
interesting for the spare and performance parts sector. Components can be improved in performance
and manufactured directly on-site. The higher power density and the elimination of transport routes
can make an additional significant contribution to environmental protection. This paper presents an
overview of the current state of additive manufacturing in the field of electromobility with regard
to replacement and performance parts using 3D metal printing. Based on an extensive literature
research, a market overview is given. This serves as the basis for the further procedure and, building
on this, the advantages of additive manufacturing are demonstrated using the example of an electric
motor. The selected electric motor is an example of a defective component in a vehicle that needs to
be replaced and whose performance can be improved by additive manufacturing and which can be
produced on-site in a quantity of one. The motor is verified by means of a FEM simulation in order to
determine the selection of an optimal water jacket topology and to demonstrate further potential for
the future.

RÉSUMÉ
L’article s’interroge sur les enjeux de la gestion verte de la chaîne logistique pour les entreprises familiales. L’analyse d’un échantillon d’entreprises françaises cotées de l’indice SBF 120 entre 2002 et 2018 montre que, globalement, le caractère familial des entreprises n’incite pas particulièrement à une gestion verte de la chaîne logistique. Toutefois, les entreprises familiales opérant dans des secteurs « polluants » semblent manifester un intérêt majeur pour une telle gestion, une façon de soigner leur image, constitutive de leur identité et de leur réputation.
