Comparative evaluation of GSCM practices in automotive components manufacturing firms of India: a fuzzy TOPSIS approach

Managing process of greening the whole supply chain encompasses careful and critical examination of supply chain members, upstream and downstream supply chain members. This paper provides comparative evaluations of GSCM practices in automotive components manufacturing firms of India towards effective green supplier selection by taking a real world problem. GSCM practices were sorted from extensive review of literature and structured questionnaire was formed; and the data was collected from selected firms to evaluate their current GSCM practices adoption. A fuzzy TOPSIS technique has been applied for comparative evaluations of GSCM practices in selected four automotive components manufacturing firms and to rank these selected firms. The influence of preferences provided by decision makers has also been analysed using sensitivity analysis to examine and demonstrate the robustness of the adapted methodology. Our study has implications for SC practitioners/managers to solve MCDM problems related to effective implementation of GSCM practices in firms.
