Evaluating Agile Practices in Green Supply Chain Management Using a Fuzzy Multicriteria Approach

Abstract

Ensuring the successful implementation of sustainable development goals in each country today depends heavily on the preservation and optimal use of its limited irreplaceable resources; therefore, a wide range of measures have been thus far taken by governments to deal with this issue. The study’s main aim is to evaluate agile practices in green supply chain management utilizing a fuzzy multicriteria approach. To meet that aim, a quantitative research design was carried out by collecting data from fieldwork in the form of completing a questionnaire. Based on the results, the global spread of environmental standards along with the growing consumer demand for integrating green product supply into supply chain management (SCM), encompassing all practices associated with the flow of goods from the extraction and use of raw materials to delivery to end consumers as well as the flow of information throughout this chain, has accordingly given rise to the novel concept of green supply chain management (GSCM). Finally, GSCM criteria were identified and then prioritized, exploiting a fuzzy multicriteria approach in the present study.
