Abstract
Abstract To attain competitive advantages and promote environmental performance, a proactive approach called green supply chain management (GSCM), has been extensively employed. In this paper, we use the robust ranking technique with neutrosophic set to handle practices and performances in GSCM. We evaluate GSCM practices using the robust ranking technique in order to detect practices leading to better economic and environmental performances. We employ the neutrosophic set theory to handle vague data, imprecise knowledge, incomplete information and linguistic imprecision. The efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated by using the first case study from petroleum industry in Egypt and the second case study from manufacturing firm in China. The results display that “reverse logistics”, “supplier environmental collaboration”, “carbon management” are the significant in GSCM practices. Both case studies verified that our proposal could be adopted for effectiveness and improvement. Our work could help managers and decision makers to become more environmentally responsible.
Highlights
In the past years, we witnessed an increased importance of the green supply chain management (SCM) operations of companies, conjugated to their general interest in environmental aspects
The industry and academia have increased interests in Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) [2], and in integration of supply chain and natural environmental concerns in GSCM. This can be achieved by enforcing multiple green practices, like reverse logistics, green design, green purchasing, reuse, recycling and environmental technologies [3]
The aim of this research is to evaluate GSCM practices and performances, and to rank their importance using neutrosophic set with robust ranking technique approach
Summary
We witnessed an increased importance of the green supply chain management (SCM) operations of companies, conjugated to their general interest in environmental aspects. Organizations and enterprises are often obliged to improve their green image by performing environmental practices [1]. The industry and academia have increased interests in GSCM [2], and in integration of supply chain and natural environmental concerns in GSCM. This can be achieved by enforcing multiple green practices, like reverse logistics, green design, green purchasing, reuse, recycling and environmental technologies [3]. Rajeev et al refer to the lack of studies linking GSCM practices, economic and environmental performances in [4]. Rao et al [5] determined a potential connection between green GSCM initiatives and improved economic performance
