Abstract: For any industry to improve and expand, the proper evaluation and selection of suppliers is essential. In order to establish whether a supplier is appropriate for working with a company, a system for selecting green suppliers is required. A variety of Decision-Making (DM) models have been created by researchers to address the problems associated with evaluating and choosing green suppliers. In order to address the Green Supplier Evaluation and Selection (GSES) challenge, we did a thorough investigation of ten works of literature, in order to find out which approach is the most widely used and which is more efficient. This study primarily focuses on the findings of ten reviews that examined 1098 research publications from academic journals between 1990 and 2020. 271 DM models examined that were broken down into 170 individual models and 101 combination models, our analysis only looked at the single models. The method of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is the dominant model used by 160 articles, 122 studies used Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), and finally 101 research works that utilized the Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) model. In addition, we found that the biggest percentage “62%” of studied articles used multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) models. As a result, the most widely utilized Decision Making models to address the evaluation and selection of green supplier were found to be AHP, DEA, and TOPSIS.
