Abstract

The supplier selection has a significant impact on the manufacturing industries. Selecting the best green supplier among many alternatives is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. This research aims to survey current green activities in supplier selection in India and to evaluate best green supplier. Various environment factors affecting in the manufacturing sectors are considered in this study. Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) based on Chang’s extent analysis, is utilized in order to select best green supplier. The data from pairwise evaluation of all criterions are given in triangular fuzzy numbers. The uncertainties of decision problem can be dealt with, and a more effective decision can be reached. A case study is conducted to illustrate the utilization of the model for the green supplier selection problem.
