Description
Summary:Environmental performance evaluation is an area of growing concern among the worldwide community. Consequently, measurements to evaluate environmental performance are of great importance. However, lack of a quantifiable model to study the environmental performance is a problem in this area. This study therefore attempts to quantify the environmental performance of supply chain of a manufacturing company, which requires evaluation of many criteria. Therefore, selection of environmental performance measures leads to a multi-criteria decision making problem. As a result, analytical hierarchy process is selected to develop the model and is solved with Expert Choice software. Finally the proposed model is applied to a case study company to identify the key areas of environmental performance of the company’s supply chain and to assess various product categories manufactured under those key areas.
