Abstract
Supply chain management has increasingly attracted attention as a systematic approach to integrate the supply chain in order to planning and controlling the materials and information from suppliers to customers. Increasing importance of environmental issues led to the creation of a new concept called the Green supply chain management in the sphere of business that is actually a combination of environmental thought and as an aims to reduce the effects of supply chain manufacturing industries on the environment. Supplier selection is one of the most important issues in green supply chain management. In this paper, proper criteria are selected to evaluate the suppliers in livestock and poultry feed industry. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) are used as a hybrid multiple attribute decision making method to rank the suppliers. Finally proposed hybrid method and 16 criteria are applied to evaluate and rank three producers of livestock and poultry feed in Isfahan state of Iran.

Summary
A supply chain management (SCM) is a system consists of three key parts, which are: the supply focuses on obtaining raw materials to manufacturing, the manufacturing focuses on converting obtained raw materials into finished products and the distribution focuses on reaching these finished products to customers through distributors, warehouses and retailers. Environmental awareness affects almost all parts of our society and it is a special concern for our industrial sectors [2,3] Companies and their decision makers must consider environmental issues in all of their administrative activities [4], including the role of the supply chain [5] and the firms’ selection of suppliers [6]. The industrial response has not just been reactive to these environmental concerns, but has included organizational search for competitive advantage [9,10,11,12,13,14] These responses have reverberated through organizational supply chains.
