1 Multi Criteria Decision Making approaches for Green supplier evaluation and selection: A literature review ABSTRACT The literatures related to supplier evaluation and selections are plentiful, but the works on green supplier evaluation or supplier evaluation that considers environmental factors rather limited. In recent years of supply chain, the performances of the suppliers are mainly evaluated based on green or environmental criteria accompanied with the traditional criteria. This paper reviews the literature of multi criteria decision making approaches which mainly considers the green criteria as major part for supplier selection in this works the articles appeared as international scientific journal in the recent years about green supplier selection are analyzed in the following way for review of green supplier evaluation and selection (i) Application of MCDM tools (ii) focusing on evaluation criteria (iii) sensitivity analysis, this research aids to researchers and decision makers in applying the MCDM tool effectively Keywords: green supplier evaluation, multi criteria decision, green criteria. 1. INTRODUCTION: Supplier selection process is one of the key operational tasks for sustainable supply chain partnership with environmentally socially and economically powerful supplier should enhance the performance of the supply chain. Due to the current awareness in the environmental aspects, the assortment of the supplier has turned their way and made focus on the green criteria base more than habitual way. There has been many multi criteria decision 1
2 making approaches which proposes an hybrid way for the green supplier selection such as data envelopment analysis(dea),analytical network process(anp) fuzzy analytic hierarchy process(fahp) and so on. Only few journal articles review the literature about the green supplier evaluation and selection models. (Genovese et.al. 2010). In this work, the journals are surveyed based on multi criteria green supplier evaluation and selection approaches through an international journal articles from 2000 to Based on the 33 journal articles searched via (Emerald, science direct, IEEE, and Springer etc.) the following issues are examined. (i) application of MCDM tool (ii) focusing on evaluation criteria (iii) sensitivity analysis. The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. In section 2 describe the individual approaches and integrated approaches critically. Section 3 discusses the most popular evaluating criteria and most prevalently used approaches. Section 4 discusses the result and future work. Section 5 finally draws the conclusion. 2. MCDM TOOLS APPROACHES The green supplier selection has made a glean process and it is mostly based on multi criteria based. Researchers have developed many tools for multi criteria decision making and the mostly fuzzy based. From the analysis of articles, the researches applied the MCDM tools in individual way as well as in integrated way. 2.1 Individual approaches Analytical hierarchy process Six out of (18.2%) journal articles proposes AHP (AHP, FAHP, FEAHP) for green supplier selection process. The application and evaluating criteria used in the approaches are summarized in Appendix 1. 2
3 Lee et al. (2009) applied FAHP with Delphi method to evaluate the supplier initially the author applied Delphi method to differentiate the criteria for evaluating traditional and green supplier. To overcome the deficiencies of conventional AHP, FHAP was used to solve the green supplier selection and it shows the approach is relatively carries less time taking and less computational expenses. This tool was applied with total of 11 main criteria and 41 sub criteria. Noci (1997) proposed the modified version of AHP based method for the assessment of the vendor s environmental efficiency. In auto mobile company the tool was applied with five steps to calculate the priority of each supplier in achieving the goal of high environmental performance; the supplies (or) suppliers that achieve the highest scores must be selected. Handfield et al. (2002) illustrate the case of AHP as a decision support model to help managers understand the trade-offs between environmental dimensions. The author demonstrated how AHP can be used to evaluate the relative importance of various environmental traits and access the relative performance of several suppliers along the traits. Chiou et al. (2008) applied FHAP for selection of green supplied under identification of 6 criteria with 24 sub criteria. The tool was applied to determine the relative importance for selecting green supplier among the American, Japanese and Taiwanese electronics industry in china. Lu et al. (2007) applied AHP to measure a multi objective project to help to evaluate and coordinate green supplier further with this study, to reduce the subjective types in designing a weighting system, buzzy logic process is used to modify the AHP. Grisi et al. (2010) implement a fuzzy AHP for green supplier evaluation with the 7 step approach of AHP, the weights of each individual evaluation criteria s obtained and in 3
4 which fuzzy logic was adopted to overcome the uncertainty arising from human qualitative judgment Analytic network process In this previous four papers (12.1%) proposed ANP to handle the green supplier evaluation and selection. The application and evaluating criteria used in this approaches are summarized in Appendix 2. Buyukozkan and Cifi (2010,2011) developed a noval approach based as fuzzy analytic network process with in multi-person decision making schema under incomplete preference relation. The author believes that this method not only makes sufficient evaluation using the provided preference information, but also maintains the consistency level of the evaluation. Hsu and Hu (2007, 2009) applied ANP for green supplier selection because of characterization by interdependencies among decision structure components. As per author suggestion ANP case capture both quantitative and qualitative criteria and reflect more realistic results among decision attributes and it offer insights to managers in selecting suppliers systematically Mathematical Programming Six out of (9.1%) journal articles proposes mathematical programing for green supplier selection process. The application and evaluating criteria used in the approaches are summarized in Appendix 3. Yeh and Chuang (2011) develops and optimal mathematical planning model for green partner selection which involves four objectives. They adopted two multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) to find the set of pareto-solution, which utilized the weighted sum approach and compared average number of paerato operational solution and CPU times of two algorithms. 4
5 Chiou et.al. (2011) develops a structural equation modeling for the data analysis used to implement the proposal for green innovation in order to improve the environmental performance and enhance the competitive advantage in the global market of the company. Large and Thomson (2011) developed a Structural Equation Model by degree of green criteria which explains the environmental performance and the purchasing performance. The model was analyzed with smartpls 2.0 software using data collected by survey Other approaches There are twelve (36.3%) papers out of thirty three journals proposes other approaches and their application and evaluating criteria are summarized in Appendix 4. Bai and Sarkis (2010) applied Rough set methodology which utilizes an incomplete information approach which is more realistic in source data poor environments for green supplier development. There also a limitation and practical managerial concerns with this MCDM tool such as the number of rules can become quite large depending on the volume of the data to be analyzed. Vachon and Klassen (2005) applied Chi-Square Test for exploring the operational performance of green partnership in supply chain. In this study, the data from survey was used for testing the linkage between green project partnership and five performance indicators. Zhang and Li (2001) proposed a fussy multi-agent decision making strategy to facilitate supplier. It was used to evaluate the environmental performance of the suppliers and the life cycle environmental impact of the purchased product. Yand and Wu (2007) was constructed the multi-level grey entropy synthetic evaluation model for evaluation of the green supplier. The evaluation process indicates that it was easier to implement the method in enterprises. The main aspect of this model was lower 5
6 hierarchy weight factors was avoided. So the result is more objective than other evaluation methods. Yang and Wu (2008) developed the multi-level extensible synthetic evaluation model based on the grey entropy synthetic evaluation model for green supplier evaluation. This model overcomes the lower weight factor avoidance and the result was more objective than other evaluation methods. Kumar and Jain (2010) proposed a comprehensive approach DEA for green supplier s selection using carbon footprint monitoring, which cuts across a huge variety of supplier base, caters to almost all businesses in environment friendly and robust. The approach encourages suppliers to go green and cut down their carbon foot prints in order to survive the competition. Hong-jun and Bin (2010) applied the factor analysis by using social science statistical software for identification of main factors for green supplier selection. The factor analysis is used to confirm the indices weights of each level where the method can avoid the subjectivity of AHP. There also some limitation of this study such as different indices for different industry and sampling which affect the conclusion. Feyzioglu and Buyukozkan (2010) proposed a multi criteria evaluation model, Choquet Integral approach for supplier performance evaluation by considering various performance criteria. The important feature of this operator is its ability to take into account the criteria dependencies. The proposed method is showed to be more appropriate compared to other methods based on arithmetic mean. Humphreys et al. (2006) proposed the fussy based system for green supplier selection based on the quantitative and qualitative environmental criteria. The major benefits of this system are that in a computationally inexpensive manner the proposed system is capable of implementing a range of user priorities that influence to varying degrees the system output. 6
7 The hierarchical fussy system with scalable fussy membership function employed, imparts user priorities into the system that can gently or strongly influence the supplier selection process. 2.2 Integrated approaches From the review it has been found that only eight papers (24.2%) dealt with the integrated approaches and they are summarized in Appendix 5. Humphreys et al. (2003) implemented Knowledge Based System with subset of Case Based Reasoning which integrates the environmental criteria into the green supplier selection process and provides the guidelines for purchasing managers to select suppliers from environmental view point. Kuo et al. (2010) developed green supplier selection model which integrates Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Multi Attribute Decision Analysis (MADA); Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Analytical Network Process (AHP). From the study it has been discovered that ANN-MADA has better power of discrimination and noise insensitivity in evaluating green supplier s performance. It also overcomes the DEA draw backs and limitation of data accuracy and decision making units among constraints. Wen and Chi (2010) introduced Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) into the assessment of green supplier selection combined with AHP to establish an integrated model. The advantage of this model was to overcome the limitation of individual approach of traditional tools such as AHP and ANP for evaluation of supplier. In this model DEA distinguishes the efficient candidates of supplier from the entire group. So as to AHP/ANP can proceed further analysis without making effort an unnecessary suppliers. Thangchattu and Siripokapiram (2010) applied an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for green supply chain supplier selection process, which allows the decision maker to 7
8 structure complex problems. Added to AHP model, the author proposed the consensus final decision by Artificial Neural Network by minimizing a limitation error set. Li and Zhao (2009) used the integrated approach, the threshold method and grey correlation analysis for assessment of index system for supplier of vehicle components. Author adopts AHP to determine weight of factors as it is the fundamental and importance for comprehensive assessment. The grey relational analysis measures the size of correlation between the two factors. Yan (2009) proposed the integrated approach of adopting genetic algorithm combined with AHP to achieve green supplier optimization evaluation selection. The common way of achieved green supplier selection was to accomplish through matrix with AHP. But the weights are static and lack of dynamic optimization adjustments mechanism. So the author introduces genetic algorithm combined with current weights of supplier to dynamically adjust weights. So the supplier evaluation indicators become more evident and optimized, while the system can adjust dynamically on time for the better supplier evaluation indicator. Chen et al. (2010) applied the hybrid method, fuzzy set theory accompanied with grey relational analysis for the green supplier selection. The fuzzy set theory is a mathematical theory designed to model the fuzziness of human cognitive process. This study involves in uncertainty, the proposed method uses the linguistic preferences for deriving the priorities of different selection alternatives and set up grey numbers in all criteria and alternatives to avoid the negligence of same criteria. Kuo and Lin (2011) proposed a method which integrates analysis network process (ANP) as well as data envelopment analysis (DEA) for green supplier evaluation. As per author opinion the model of DEA and ANP which considers the interdependency between criteria. This also removes the constraints of DEA that users cannot set up their own criteria weight preferences. The proposed evaluation method also solves the limitation of the number 8
9 of decision making units (DMUs). At the same time according to DEA result, suggestions for improvement are provided to supplier. 2.3 Sensitivity Analysis Awasthi et al. (2010) proposed a approach which consist of three steps such as identification of criteria, experts rating and assessment of experts rating through fussy TOPSIS methodology. The results of the methodology was highest scores is chosen as the one with the highest environmental performance. The advantages of using fussy TOPSIS is that it distinguishes between benefit and cost category criteria. From the review it has been found that sensitivity analysis was carried in this paper (3%) to evaluate the influence of criteria weights on the environmental performance evaluation of suppliers. The strength of the proposed approach is its practical applicability and ability to provide solution under partial lack of quantitative information. 3. OBSERVATION AND RECOMMENDATION In this review thirty three journal articles related to green supplier evaluation and selection were collected and analyzed on the base of MCDM tool approach and evaluation criteria. All the papers which were collected dealt with multi criteria decision making approaches including individual and integrated approaches. The following section present the observation made from the analysis Widely used approach Researchers have developed many tools for multi criteria decision making and they are mostly fuzzy based. Due to uncertainty, if the fuzziness arrives in the data decision making, it becomes vague and hard. The primary objective of this paper is to find out the most popular 9
10 approach adopted in the supplier evaluation and selection literature. As described in the previous section, there are twenty five papers (75.75%) used individual approach and eight papers (24.24%) used the integrated approach. The most popular individual approach is AHP followed by ANP, DEA and other tools. As the supplier selection problem involves both qualitative and quantitative criteria, AHP not only can adequately handle the inherent uncertainty and impression of human decision making process, but also can provide the robustness and flexibility needed for decision maker to understand the decision problem. AHP shows the performance of supplier with respect to each sub criteria and main criteria. So it shows the supplier status on each criterion. There are various integrated approaches for supplier selection. From the analysis it was notices that integrated AHP approach is more popular. Due to the simplicity, ease of use and flexibility AHP has been integrated with DEA, ANN, GA, and fussy set theory. The major reason for integration is that the individual techniques possess unique advantages. The consistency verification operation of AHP contributes greatly to prevent inconsistency because it acts as a feedback mechanism for the makers to review and revise the judgment 3.2 Widely used evaluation criterion In most of the recent studies both time-honored and ecological criteria are considered for supplier selection. Many criteria were proposed and they are summarized in Appendix 8. Quantitative environmental criteria articulated in monetary term and qualitative environmental criterion which focuses on the company image is selected for the supplier selection (Humbherys et al. 2003). The major criteria which are considered for supplier development are environmental system and quality (Grisi et al. (2010). Some studies are based on the potential drivers like GSCM capabilities, Strategic level of 10
11 purchasing department, the level of environmental commitment, degree of green supplier assessment and degree of green supplier collaboration (Large & Thomsen 2011).In portfolio based analysis, pollution production, control and prevention is considered as the environmental factors (Zhu, Dou & Sarkis 2010).There is a study in effect of four drivers namely regulation, customer pressure, social responsibility and business benefits on green purchasing (Buyukozkan and Cifi (2010,2011). Chen et al. (2010) states that companies must engross suppliers and purchasers to congregate and even exceed the environmental expectation of their customers and their governments. Many manufacturing concerns organize through the outsourcing and thus the companies are vitally dependent on their supplier. Most of the companies ask their suppliers to implement ISO14001 since the standard becomes a prevalent tool for the environmental aspects (Chen et al. (2010). Buyukuzkan and cifci (2011) considered the environmental factors in the way of sustainable supply chain (social, economic and environmental). Based on the above findings, it was revealed that green knowledge transfer is most widely adopted criterion and supplier selection was based on environmental criteria combined with traditional criteria. 4. RESULTS AND FUTURE WORK From the review it has been found that individual approaches were used more than the integral approaches and environmental criterion not precisely focused in many articles. Also in reality, the weightings of supplier evaluating criteria depend a lot on business priorities and strategies. In case where the weightings are assigned arbitrarily and subjectively, this leads to the supplier selection not up to the company requirements. Many approaches works for selection of the suitable supplier but not recommends the mode of failure to the failed supplier. From the study, it was notices that sensitivity analysis was not carried in many 11
12 literatures. Sensitivity analysis investigates the impacts of criteria weights on the selection of supplier with best environmental performance by changing the weights of the criteria for several experiments. So it has to be carried in future MCDM approaches. 5. CONCLUSION This paper review the multi criteria decision making approaches for supplier evaluation and selection on literature from 2000 to 2011 and it has been found that many individual and integrated approaches were proposed for supplier selection. The literature review has highlighted that the implementation of green issue within the supplier selection process is limited as relatively lower number of papers published. Besides some recommendation are made for to aid the researchers and decision makers in solving the green supplier selection problem effectively. References Awasthi, A., Chauhan,S. S., & Goyal, S.
