Organizational Green Supply Chain Management Capability Assessment: A Hybrid Group Decision Making Model Application

Green supply chain management (GSCM) is a strategic issue in organizations; it is even more critical and complex in emerging economies. GSCM decision support tools can greatly advance the strategic notion of GSCM. Having a systemic, flexible and user-friendly tool can be beneficial to organizations and support the adoption of this tool. A relatively intuitive and user-friendly hybrid group decision making model that integrates fuzzy-grey tools can help evaluate an organization's GSCM capability. To show the utility of the tool, a small case study from the Chinese automotive industry is completed. Seven Chinese automotive enterprises are used in the case illustration. The tool is easy to use so that managers can replicate and apply it to many aspects of real-world problem solving as well as for benchmarking and prioritization purposes.
