Abstract :
This paper presents a fuzzy multiattribute decision making approach for evaluating the performance of green supply chain alternatives. Assessments for qualitative measures and attribute weights are represented by triangular fuzzy numbers, obtained from the decision maker using linguistic terms. An effective algorithm based on the concept of dominance is developed for calculating the overall performance index of each green supply chain alternative. As a result, this would help organizations understand the comparative level of their green supply chain alternatives´ performance. An example is presented for demonstrating the applicability of the approach in dealing with the green supply chain performance evaluation problem.
