Environmental practices in the supply chain is a key strategic evaluation in green supply chain management (GSCM). Thus, manufacturers need to understand the role of each factor and the relationship between them to effectively implement GSCM. A lack of understanding of these factors can potentially make it more difficult to adopt GSCM practices. Using the multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) technique, the evaluation of the decision-making processes can potentially improve the successful implementation of GSCM. Through MCDM, the priority of the elements in GSCM that contributes to the establishment of strategic environmental practices has been identified based on the data gathered from seven experts. Next, by using the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method, a causal model was developed. In this model, each element was prioritised based on the cause and effect analysed. The findings reveal that activities, such as packaging recycling, process optimisation to reduce solid waste, and the use of environmentally friendly raw materials, are critical factors that must be prioritised.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
