“…The framework consisted of seven environmental categories consisting of thirty variables. Lu et al (2007) proposed a framework for evaluating the environmental performance of suppliers with respect to the main criteria materials, energy using, solid residues, liquid residues, and gaseous residues. Tuzkaya et al (2009) built a framework for evaluating suppliers against six main environmental criteria and 31 sub-criteria.…”

“…In this study, the definition of critical suppliers/materials used to prioritize efforts has been based solely on the size of the emissions. However, it may also be about characterizing suppliers or materials based on the likelihood of risk exposure, energy using, solid residues, liquid residues, and gaseous residues (Lu et al 2007). Further refinement of the definition of critical suppliers is recommended to include more factors and avoid confusion in purchasing function.…”

Embedding carbon impact assessment in multi-criteria supplier segmentation using ELECTRE TRI-rC

In the past decade, there has been an increasing interest in green supply chain management, which integrates environmental thinking into supply chain management. Assessing a supplier's potential for improvement is very important when an organization wants to achieve certain environmental targets concerning their supply base, taking into account the limited resources available. In this paper, incorporating environmental evaluation criteria into a comprehensive supplier segmentation approach called 'supplier potential matrix' (SPM), a green supplier segmentation is proposed to segment the suppliers. Two overarching dimensions-supplier's capabilities and supplier's willingness-are used to evaluate the supplier's green potential. The two dimensions are measured by multiple criteria. A sorting method called ELECTRE TRI-rC is used to solve the resulted multi-criteria decision-making problem. In order to make a more meaningful distinction, a simple method is also proposed to assess the suppliers with respect to the carbon footprint of the raw materials they supply. The results of this assessment are combined with the ones of the SPM, resulting in a more useful segmentation. The proposed model is applied to a sample containing the suppliers of a large international company.B Jafar Rezaei

“…When various papers on decision analysis were compared, it is found that several papers cross-referenced fuzzy set theory and rough set theory with artificial intelligence techniques [3,23]. Additionally, various papers discuss fuzzy set theory as an individual methodology in decision making [85][86][87], while the vast majority of papers integrates fuzzy approaches into multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) [88][89][90][91][92][93][94]. This paper examines fuzzy sets as one of the decision analysis tools, and divided these approaches into the sub-techniques depicted in Figure 14.…”

Abstract:Growing environmental awareness coupled with stricter governmental regulations has fueled the need for integrating sustainability into supply chain and logistics activities. Accordingly, recent studies in the literature have emphasized the significance of environmentally concerned logistics operations (ECLO). Research in the broad area of ECLO encompasses a wide range of topics including sustainable supply chain, green supply chain, closed-loop supply chain, low-carbon logistics, and waste management. In this paper, a comprehensive content analysis and area review is presented. Over 800 papers published between 1994 and 2017 in peer-reviewed journals, proceedings, and book chapters are utilized. These papers are analyzed in consecutive stages after being reviewed under a structural dimension process that addresses the fields of environmentally concerned logistics operations. Following the state-of-the-art review, a detailed analysis of ECLO research with a special emphasis on fuzzy applications is provided. The findings clearly indicate that the fuzzy multi-criteria decision making technique is a frequently used hybrid method, whereas fuzzy sets theory and other fuzzy hybrid techniques identify a gap in the related literature. This paper provides further critical analysis and other research suggestions in order to clarify these gaps and offer additional research perspectives. This information may provide extensive data that will enable future researchers to fill these gaps within this field.

“…The DMT is constituted from three academicians, Manager of purchasing department and his team consisted of eight purchasing specialist. After completing this phase, criteria are determined by interview sessions done with DMT and considering the related literature conducted before (especially it has been referred to the studies prepared by Lee et al (2009), Lu et al (2007, Nakashima et al (2006), Tsoulfas and Pappis (2006), Tsoulfas and Pappis (2008)). For elimination of criteria the decision making team had a final meeting with the participation of sales manager, public relationsh ips manager and franchising network responsible.…”

ABSTRACT:Increasing environmental problems enforce companies to be more environmental responsible.A company's environmental performance is not only related to the company's inner environmental efforts, but also it is affected by the suppliers' environmental performance and image. As a stakeholder of the company, a supplier with bad environmental image affects badly the company's environmental image. Also, raw materials and semi-finished products supplied from out of the company recourses-suppliers-affects the products environmental features such as life cycle, re-usability, re-manufacturability, hazardous substances, etc. Considering these direct and indirect effects, managers should also consider environmental performances of their suppliers in their supplier evaluation process. In this paper, a methodology for the evaluation of suppliers' environmental performances is proposed. In this methodology, a hybrid Fuzzy-Analytic Network Process and Fuzzy-Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluations approach is utilized. Additionally, a numerical example is given to foster the better understanding of the methodology and the obtained results are analyzed with sensitivity analyses.
