Abstract
Growing environmental concerns have motivated businesses to carefully assess the environmental impact of their products and services at all stages of a life-cycle. Reverse logistics plays an important role in achieving supply chains. Based on green supply chain theory, the paper focuses on the automotive manufacturers to select the most appropriate reverse logistics provider for End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and pooled take-back model. The authors conducted a questionnaire survey to automotive manufacturers and interviewed logistics experts. Then, the paper established supplier evaluation index system for ELVs in reverse logistics and put forward evaluation model based on extension evaluation for selecting prior supplier using a combination of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and extension-based approach. Finally, the proposed approach is validated by one numerical example and a satisfactory result is obtained. In addition, it provides scientific basis and a new way for automotive manufacturers to select suppliers in reverse logistics.
