Chapter Chapter 10 in Green Supplier Evaluation and Selection: Models, Methods and Applications, 2021, pp 229-248 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Selecting the optimum green supplier is crucial for green supply chain management, which is a challenging multi-criteria decision making problem. Moreover, while evaluating the performance of alternative suppliers, decision makers tend to determine their assessments using linguistic descriptors due to experts’ vague knowledge and information deficiency. This chapter develops an integrated model based on cloud model and QUALIFLEX (qualitative flexible multiple criteria method) approach to assess the green performance of companies under economic and environmental criteria. For the introduced model, the linguistic terms, expressed in normal clouds, are utilized to assess alternatives against each evaluation criterion. A linear programming model is established to compute the weights of criteria with unknown or incompletely known weight information. An extended QUALIFLEX approach is proposed and used to select the most suitable green supplier. Finally, the proposed GSES method is demonstrated by an empirical example of an auto manufacturer to confirm its rationality and effectiveness.
