Evaluation and Selection of Sustainable Strategy for Green Supply Chain Management Implementation

Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the implementation of green supply chain management (GSCM) strategies and to select the best GSCM strategy using fuzzy analytical network process (ANP) methodology. The ANP helps in analyzing the interdependence and interrelations among the various determinants and dimensions of GSCM strategy selection. Fuzzy set theory is applied to avoid the vagueness and uncertainty in human preference judgement. This study uses an empirical case study of an Indian automobile organization to validate the applicability of the proposed model. The results show that the resource based strategy is in first position, having the maximum impact on each determinant. The case organization should improve the green management system with the assistance of a suitable GSCM strategy, i.e. the resource based strategy. This study may help managers to make decisions, and to analyze and standardize their environmental advantages dynamically. The robustness of the projected model is checked by conducting a sensitivity analysis. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment

Environmental management and the “soft side” of organisations: Discovering the most relevant behavioural factors in green supply chains

“…The top management, along with developing a framework for upgrading the environment, also decides the environmental strategies, the need for training (Govindarajulu & Daily, ), adequate and on‐time resource allocation (Zutshi & Sohal, ), and the enrolment and selection process to recruit people who are committed towards the betterment of our surroundings. Malviya, Kant, and Gupta () claimed that without the true support of top management, most of the organisational plan fails; GCSM implementation strategy is no exception. In this sense, GCSM is an important tool to support decision making and can be useful for justification of decisions made (Mohammed & Wang, ).…”

Mapping the conceptual structure of environmental management: a co-word analysis

“…In the last few years, 2016-2018, papers develop the six topics analysed. Some authors focus their attention on the study of green supply chain management (i.e., Malviya et al 2018), and environmental management (i.e., Ormazabal et al 2017) from a resource-based-view (i.e., Brulhart et al 2017). The study of firm/corporate environment performance (i.e., Escrig-Olmedo et al 2017, Hartmann andVachon 2018) and its relationship to other topics such as environmental management systems (i.e., Martín-de Castro et al 2016) has significant development.…”

Socially responsible supplier selection and sustainable supply chain development: A combined approach of total interpretive structural modeling and fuzzy analytic network process

“…If all partners upstream and downstream in the supply chain commit to social responsibility, then the supply chain can achieve sustainable development (Ha‐Brookshire, ; Malviya, Kant, & Gupta, ). Investment in CSR has a positive effect on shareholder value and encourages more people to invest in the company.…”

“…The TISM technique can explain the interrelationships among evaluation criteria and present a structured and visible system, and the FANP method can be used to calculate the final score to determine the most appropriate candidate (Dube & Gawande, ; Hussain, Awasthi, & Tiwari, ). Previous authors introduced the FANP method to evaluate supplier selection (Govindan, Rajendran, Sarkis, & Murugesan, ; Malviya et al, ). Here, we add the TISM method and propose a combined methodology to address the supplier evaluation and selection problem, which includes removing the hierarchical relationships among evaluation criteria.…”

“…With the public's increasing awareness of environmental protections, firms increasingly focus on environmental criteria such as e‐design, e‐production, e‐recycling, and green competencies to maintain sustainable development (Dubey et al, ; Malviya et al, ). In this study, we use packaging of products, staff environmental training, pollution control, and environmental management as subcriteria of green image.…”
