TLDR
In this paper, a fuzzy multi-criteria approach for green suppliers' evaluation is proposed to translate the subjective human perceptions into a solid crisp value, which are then combined through fuzzy TOPSIS to generate an overall performance score for each supplier.Abstract:
Today's international business environment has forced many firms to focus on supply chain management to gain a competitive advantage. During recent years, supplier selection process in the supply chain has become a key strategic consideration. With the growing worldwide awareness of environmental protection and the corresponding increase in legislation and regulations, green purchasing has become an important issue for companies to gain environmental sustainability. Traditionally, companies consider criteria such as price, quality and lead time, when evaluating supplier performance and do not give enough attention to environmental criteria as a means to evaluate suppliers. Now, many companies have begun to implement green supply chain management (GSCM) and to consider environmental issues and the measurement of their suppliers’ environmental performance. This paper examines GSCM to propose a fuzzy multi criteria approach for green suppliers’ evaluation. We apply fuzzy set theory to translate the subjective human perceptions into a solid crisp value. These linguistic preferences are combined through fuzzy TOPSIS to generate an overall performance score for each supplier. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.read more

TL;DR: Some novel operational laws of PFSs are defined and an extended technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution method is proposed to deal effectively with them for the multicriteria decision‐making problems with PFS.

Multi criteria decision making approaches for green supplier evaluation and selection: a literature review
TL;DR: A large and growing body of literature on green supplier evaluation that considers environmental factors is relatively limited as discussed by the authors, and the most common criterion considered for green supplier selection was "environmental management systems".

TL;DR: A reverse-flow technique is described for the solution of a functional equation arising in connection with a decision process in which the termination time is defined implicitly by the condition that the process stops when the system under control enters a specified set of states in its state space.
