Extension Method for Green Supplier Selection

Evaluating suppliers to include green supplier development programs via fuzzy c-means and VIKOR methods

“…In most of the recent studies, both traditional and environmental criteria are considered for supplier selection (Lee et al, 2009;Büyüközkan and Çiftçi, 2011;Yang and Wu, 2008;Kuo et al, 2010;Wen and Chi, 2010;Kuo and Lin, 2010;Chen et al, 2010). In some recent studies, only environmental criteria were used (Tuzkaya et al, 2009;Kumar and Jain , 2010;Humphreys et al, 2006;Awasthi et al, 2010;Humphreys et al, 2003;Chiou et al, 2011).…”

Tackling Complexity in Green Contractor Selection for Mega Infrastructure Projects: A Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic MADM Approach with considering Group Attitudinal Character and Attributes’ Interdependency

“…Since environmental regulations of different scales (i.e., domestic, governmental, and international [76]) have increasingly become compulsory in various industrial markets, contractors should have the capability of manage and keep track of the compliance [35]. And the widely accepted way [77] to attain the compliance capability by building environment management systems [32,34,78], whose most-cited components [77] comprise of ISO-14001 certification [32,34,36,37], eco-labeling [31,32,37], environment policies [33], environment planning [33], and environmental management information system (continuous monitoring and regulatory compliance) [31,32]. Due to the reason that environmental impacts occur at every stage of the construction cycle, Rwelamila et al [79] strongly suggested to contractors should implement green design & procurement to improve their green practices.…”

“…To make environmental performance more measurable, many efforts have been paid to establish effective assessing approaches, such as the approach to examination on waste flows and control on construction sites [3,82]. As for indicators of environmental performance, according to the thorough literature review by Govindan, et al [77], the commonly adopted ones include [32][33][34]36]: solid waste, chemical waste, air emission, waste water disposal and energy. In sum, we here include 'Design & procurement, ' 'Compliance with green legislation, ' and 'Environmental performance' as three other main evaluative attributes to comprehensively assess green practices of alternative contractors.…”

An integrated MCDM approach to green supplier selection

“…To optimize the process of supplier selection, Peng (2012), utilized a green supplier evaluation index system that established four layers as; enterprise ability, service level, cooperation degree, environmental factors. Briefly, the most used criteria based on academic and international publication are included; environmental management system (Humphreys et al, 2006;Li & Zhao, 2009;Yan, 2009;Zhang et al, 2003;Kuo et al, 2010;Lee et l., 2009;Chen, 2010;Grisi, 2010;Chiou, 2008), quality (Kuo et al, 2010;Lee, 2009;Yang and Wu, 2008;Li & Zhao, 2009;Yan, 2009;Grisi, 2010; Zhang, 2003;Wen, 2010), service (Kuo et al, 2010;Yang & Wu, 2008;Wen & Chi, 2010;Li & Zhao, 2009;Bala et al, 2008;Yan, 2009), technology (Büyüközkan & Çifçi, 2012b;Li & Zhao, 2009;Lee, 2009;Wen, 2010), green image (Lee et al, 2009;Humphreys et al, 2006;Grisi et al, 2010), green competency (Lee et al, 2009;Noci, 1997;Chiou, 2008), and price (Yang & Wu, 2008;Grisi, et al, 2010;Yan, 2009). …”
